I cant seem to find the difference between the two other than the one being the Fatal1ty Professional edition. Is that a big plus? should i go for the platinum with the $100 rebate or just spend the extra $50 for the Fatal1ty?

Or should i forget creative and go with..

so no one knows which one of these cards would be the best to go with for gaming. I play games such as bf2, cod2, etc... Anyone?
 
Well BF2 supports the X-ram so id say the frist one.But i just got the second one(bought used here in the forums) and its fine for gaming and sounds awesome so far.But you dont need the font panel unless you want to use head phones a lot or you need to hook up midi device's which i dont so id get the frist one.Plus sooner or later more game will support the X-ram(maybe)

I appreciate the reply. It seems like no one wants to help out sometimes :( took nearly day and a half for someone to post.
 
I agree with the first one. I don't think a front panel is worth the extra dollars. Both of them will have the same sound reproduction quality as they are run by the same chip.

This isn't a real busy part of the forum and many members don't check out the posts here so, I don't believe it's because people do not want to be helpful. Good luck with whatever card you go for.
 
Ok so i guess ill go with the first one unless the second one will be better. It just so happens i was plugging a usb cord into the back of my computer tonight and all the sudden my sound went out. I cant figure it out. So i guess my card is fried somehow. o well im getting new one anyways.
 
You will end up waiting like 4 months for that rebate.Thats the fastest i ever got one. OCZ took 5 months to send me $20.And im betting Creative is no better
