sb 24 bit audigy value/se/ls

[boow]

these cards are the same why rename them and sell them as different cards. I think the x-fi xtreme audio is the same card too. these cards dont even have hardware mixing. not sure about the x-fi.

Why ? because it is Creative!

Since the above poster decided to be a smartass, I'm going to post some links of the card for you, to see if they're the same or not.

SB live 24 is same as Audigy LS and Audigy SE

On the X-Fi XtremeGamer does'nt it have all the same qualities as the regular X-Fi except it does' have the AD_Link (26 pin) connector. as for as sound quality goes does'nt it have the same 51million transistor processor.
