Well, I do game a lot on my system; Crysis, World in Conflict, Dawn of War, and others. But I also listen to a crap load of music, and love blasting it on my z-5300's.

Actually, the fact that the X-fi XtremeMusic is PCI is a good selling point for me. That way, I can just put it where the Audigy used to be.

the xtreme music isn't an actual X-FI chip, but a lesser one, and I thought an audigy 2. So I don't think you will see much of an improvement if any at all.. I'd save up and get the asus xonar, or else an X-FI Gamer.
Edit: ..or was the xtreme audio the one with the lesser chip?

all these different models..
Anyways, if it's the good one, get it, if it's the bad one, don't

The Xtememusic is a real X-Fi, I think it's the Xtremeaudio thats the relabeled Audigy.
I think the XtremeMusic is well worth $30. I paid £70 (~130) for mine a year or so ago and I think it's good for that price.

Well, I already ordered the X-fi, but if you'd point me in a direction of where I could find what you're suggesting for $30, I'll definitely have a look see.
