Expresscard sound cards

[Renovatio]

I'm trying to pick between

This wireless one

and

This wired one

Both are avatars of the Creative Soundblaster X-fi xtreme notebook sound card.

I intend for them to go with a Sager NP5793

Thanks!

I own the wired 1st gen version of the X-Fi Xtreme Notebook & I have no complaints about it. The good thing is that its cheaper but some better features are integrated into the wirless one. Either way you're going to have EAX 5 HD, CMSS 3D, Crystalizer, Dolby Digital, & DTS support.

I think the laptop has an option for adding an X-Fi Xtreme Notebook card, it just seems a lot cheaper to buy that separately aftermarket.

How about this older one?

Thanks, that one actually struck me sometime earlier in the day. The laptop I'm getting's an expresscard/54 one. The wireless x-fi's expresscard/34, but it comes with a piece of plastic that works as an adapter, effectively making it expresscard/54. Clever.

Still can't decide whether or not to go for wired or wireless x-fi. I'm ridiculously indecisive.

Any other expresscard options?
