<< For me the better option was z-buy.com for $59 + $4 and no tax. >>



Thank you! I almost bought mine at newegg. z-buy a better deal; no tax and a lower price ( I just ordered mine and it was 58 + 4).

<< is the OEM any different from the RETAIL besides not having the games and stuff??

are the actual cards exactly the same?? >>



Not entirely, at least when compared to my newegg purchased OEM (November, $1 cheaper, free ship. Sorry I didn't know it was *that* hot. I just saw it on pricewatch.)

The OEM doesn't have gold plated plugs. Not a huge thing, and in fact I like the colored plastic ones better b/c it makes them slightly easier to see when you're reaching around to plug in camcorders and what not (no DV yet.)

i recently upgraded to win xp. my aureal card wouldn't work in xp so now that is a good enough excuse for me to get the audigy.

Try pluging the speakers to audio out instead of speaker out.
