So I am building me dream office now which means I get to run speaker wires for rear speakers ...yeah! My question is, shall I upgrade to the SBLive 5.1 XGamer or should I go with the AE 5.1? I've read that peeps are having trouble with rear seperation using the SBLive card however, the AE doesn't seem to offer a Dolby Digital decoder(Correct?). The software bundle with the XGamer is better but I need a GOOD card not more games! My last card was a Monster MX300 which was good except that they stopped making them and I can't get new drivers for it. I don't want to go with the AE and then have Philips abandon their sound card division ... SB has been around a long time and seems to be there for the long run. I am leaning towards returning the SBLive 5.1 I bought and getting the AE. How about sharing your feelings on this issue. Thanks in advance!
