there are several versions of the audigy, but you will get good performance out of nearly all of them. I have the audigy gamer. New egg is a great site to buy stuff!

just wondering, but what exactly is the diff between all the different versions of the audigy? I bought the OEM version.

The Platinum has the 5.25" box and the Platinum eX has an external box.

The MP3+ and X-Gamer cards are exactly the same card, but without the boxes and with different (less) software.

The OEM is the same as the Player, same card without gold-plated connectors and no software (the Player might have some).

ok, but what exactly do you mean by "the player"?

It's the retail version of the Audigy that isn't the MP3+ or the XGamer.

Audigy is evil!

Get a santa cruz for about the same price and get a better soundcard. I have owned both cards. I ended up selling the audigy on ebay. Sounded inferior to the Santa Cruz... *shrug*

I agree, but there are some people who still like their Audigys. Not quite sure why.
