Worth upgarding?

metloaf · Jun 18, 2007

I have been running an X-FI Xtreme Music since they came out but I have been looking at he Xtreme gamer and wondering if its worth the upgrade and the price difference. I know the Gamer has on board memory and other goodies that help out but did anyone notice a difference?

nah..there's almost no difference between them. That onboard RAM is something that very few games use (like Battlefield 2)

Definitely no reason to change.

Thanks I appreciate it. That's what I was thinking but I was just curious about that onboard memory on that card.

By the time the onboard memory ever makes a difference in games (if ever) there'll be a refresh series of cards out (given the directsound changes with vista at any rate) so it's irrelevant for most purposes at this point.
