Creative Sound Card X-fi

[oblivion666]

I am considering buying a x-fi card, since I have been running off the audio built in my motherboard. Heres the two products I was looking at I cannot decide what one to buy. Is there a big difference between the two? Advantages Disadvantages

Creative cards stink, both in quality and drivers. The Titanium is the only one worth considering, but even then, other cards beat it at its current price.

Auzentech: Prelude/Forte (Full X-fi support, but hurt because Creative still makes drivers)
ASUS: Xonar DX, Xonar D2/D2X, Xonar STX Essence (Emulates EAX 5.0, but better sound quality then the competition)

Nevermind that very few X-fi games are around these days, as the sepc is more or less obsolete...I'll take future quality over X-fi any day of the week.
