    Of the two, I would tend to pick X-Fi, and install just the drivers, their apps are bloatware and not very good. Never tried the other.

    I would probably go with something different if possible. The xtreme audio isn't a true x-fi (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_B...i_Xtreme_Audio ), and I've never heard of the other one. If you could get any other version of the x-fi I'd recommend that. Cards from Turtle Beach, AuzenTech, or Asus are decent too.

    and a whole lot of lovin..
