Which Sound Card

I have an Adugy 2 value card and I am looking at upgrading my sound card to something better. My main use is gaming. There are 4 different X-Fi cards that range from $60 - $250. Which one to go with? Is there anything else than creative that should be looked at? Thanks for the info.

XP Pro
3500+ Athlon
Asus K8V-X MB
1.5 GB Ram

How much do you want to spend? The Xtreme Gamer Fatality would probably be your best bet, but it does cost $140.

Is the Fatality that much better than the extreme gamer? Is it worth the price difference?
