question about X-Fi Titanium bulk

[Ozi]

Hi,

Maybe someone of You knows if there are some differences between X-Fi Titanium ("vanilla") box and bulk versions? Theoreticly they should be exactly the same cards, with bulk as "only hardware without the drivers and box", but if i think "Creative" i got some doubts... The bulk version (P/N 30SB088200000) is almost 30% cheaper (at least in Poland) than the box version (P/N 70SB088000000), but i`m afraid, that this saved money could turn against me (problems with instaling some software or limited functionality etc.)...

I'm not aware of any differences. Historically, Creative's OEM cards have been identical to those in retail boxes. There might have been exceptions here and there, but nothing I've ever heard about.

Creative uses some pretty cheap components anyway, so it's not as if they really have room to downspec for OEMs.
