Personally, I do not think much of Creative Products.
I have a X-fi Extreme Gamer, and if I had to do it over again I would have bought this:

Thanks guys ,

But I need more info

why you don't prefer Creative in sound card ?
& what's the advantages of ( X-Fi Prelude & Xonar D2X ) ?

The ASUS Xonar is better for a home theater system then for gaming.

Creative cards are usually better for gaming; the diffrence between them is usually cache size, and slightly better playback or extra audio options. The problem is that some motherboards, especially nforce chipsets, will not work right with the card (major sound distortions).

If you want a home theater sound card, get the Xonar. If you want a card better for gaming, I strongly recommend the Razer Barracude AC-1. It blows away my old extremeGamer (when it worked right, of course 😀). I also will not recommend buying a Creative sound card until they fix their compatability issues.
