The question is, does it work with Windows 7 x86, x64 or both?
It is interesting that you recommend Asus for music/media and Auzentech for those plus games.
The review on the ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 shows that it works good for gaming.
I suppose that is based on personal experience?

I played around with both all-be-it I didn't try the asus on win7. Currently I am using the prelude 7.1 extreme on win7 and it is rock solid sounds fine. Keep in mind that even though it is an xfi chip the drivers are not provided by creative. For me this is important as I will never spend money on creative cards so help me god.
When i played around with the asus card it was great for media but was HORRIBLE in games. I had to play a game like bf2 in software mode due to the horrible problems I was having. Also vegas 2 rainbow six has amazing eax5.0 which will not work with asus cards. In fact the game crashed several times with "their" version of eax. I used the asus in XPpro32bit if a card can't run for shit in a 32 bit environment it won't be any better in 64bit.
The auzentech has been the best all round card for me and I'll always recommend it. Jake_HT just bought one and loves it. I am a bit of an audiophile even though admittedly I don't know every last thing about audio I can absolutely attest to the difference in quality. If i could afford 1000 dollar headphones... i would buy them tomorrow. Besides the auzentech has dual opticals.
