Good Points
Amazing clarity, dolby 5.1 sound, cheaper now.
Bad Points
None now the drivers have been fixed for WinXP.
General Comments
When I bought my OEM card I was surprised to see it marked "Turtle Beach - Santa Cruz", but I later found out these cards are one and the same. The drivers and software that came on CD never worked (on 98SE or XP), but once Videologic posted new drivers on the website all worked as it should. The software allows customisation of all the jacks in the rear as well as sound effects and more. For the money, nothing comes close, but should you want the ultimate then expect to fork out 3-4 times as much cash for a Creative Audigy.
