If I was you I would just buy the audigy 2 platinum, every cpu cycle counts. The Extigy has a higher cpu utilization than the audigy, I imagine that the extigy 2 if indeed they are planning on releasing one, will also have a higher rate of cpu utilization than its card brother. Unless you are out of pci slots and 5 1/4 bays then get the audigy 2 platinum instead
