XFi - XtremeMusic with 6ns memory chip?

[formulav8]

I bought a XMusic XFi card and was looking it over and noticed it has a 6ns memory chip. I saw a couple reviews of the highend XFi's with XRam and it had a 7.5ns memory chip.

I was just curious as to why the XtremeMusic has the ram chip if it doesn't use the XRam?? Is it just a small buffer that all XFi's use and then theres added memory for the XRam on the high end models or something?

I know very little about these cards as I wasn't even halfway interested until I bought it myself. So, its probably a very obvious answer

Thanks for any info

Hi, 6 ns is faster than 7.5 ns. Don't worry. Jim

XRAM is a con and I knew it when I bought my fatality...just wanted something better than integrated sound

The memory chip on the Xtreme Music and Platinum is 16mb and used as a buffer.

So why not save $100 or more and buy a Platinum or Xtreme Music?
