I saw a SB Audigy OEM for $61.80 and on the same site a SB Audigy Gamer for $80 something. Whats the difference? Are they charging an extra $20 for retail? Also, I'm in the process of setting up my surround sound. What would be the ideal room to set up a 4.1 speaker system (I'm getting the Logitech z560's) Any other sound cards you peeps might recommend? Thanks.....

The OEM version doesn't have the gold connectors (which really don't matter much anyway), and it doesn't come with any software. The Retail version of the audigy gamer gives you a nice bundle of games, along with some basic sound type software. You really pay $20 for the bundle.

I always recommend the Santa Cruz, but thats just me

There's also a nice price going for the Hercules GTXP at BestBuy.Com - something like $75 for the card and breakout box.
You can get more details in the Hot Deals forum.

Wow, that's cheap. I'd get the GTXP at that price...
