How would this compare to the asus xonar d1/dx and auzentech forte x-fi?? really tempted to pull the trigger considering the price...any good reason to get the xonar or forte instead for my M-Audio AV40s that usually used for speakers, blu-ray ripped movies and some light gaming?

back to the question I asked, it might be unfair to compare to an auzentech forte x-fi because of the big difference in price, how would this compare to the Asus Xonar D1/DX I am looking at? Not sure if I even need X-Fi and how are the drivers on x86 Win7 on this creative card??
Thanks.

I think the X-Fi gamer card is newer technology and it is better for gaming
