I'd go for the X-Fi unless you use digital speakers and a mic at the same time. And if you use 8-channel speakers you need to buy a special cable from creative i believe. The card shares ports on the back, that is why.

I have the Audigy 4 and it works great. Although it does not have the newest EAX like the X-Fi.

im thinking of getting the audigy 4 because i like the remote and the sample rate is higher.

The one you linked is not the pro version of the audigy 4. The pro is about twice as expensive. For that money you can get an X-Fi eXtreme music, which I would recommend over the audigy 4 pro.

well still its an audigy 4 and im not spending more then that.
