As you may remember, top X-Fi, Fata1ity and Elite Pro models are equipped with 64 MB of on-board X-RAM memory. It's not for MIDI samples, but for storing and caching sounds in games. We don't know when Creative decided to install memory on sound cards, but it was done in a strange fashion: X-RAM is available only on two top models. Cheaper models are equipped with 2 MB Cache for DSP only. Naturally, users start asking questions: Does X-RAM provide real advantage in games? What card should be chosen between the two models at slightly different prices — Platinum or Fatal1ty?
