    Great Soundcard
    review by:Josh rating:
    customer rating
    operating system:Windows XP

    Great Soundcard, dead easy to install. Just disable or uninstall that crappy onboard sound and install this with its drivers and software and it's good to go.

    Software is actually pretty good, doesn't slow down the machine and provides useful features such as improving clarity of sound, etc. Overall a wicked product.

    OEM, so only get the card in a jiffy bag with the software/drivers cd.

    Tested by my brother
    review by:Anonymousoperating system:Windows XP

    All I can say is my brother is very very fussy about what he puts into his pc machine, he has this model but with all the extras, there's a front mounted earphone socket, microphone socket etc and driver disc this is just the stripped down version without these items and i have bought one myself and it's great, so high ratings from me

    Very pleased

    operating system:Not Applicable

    I bought this soundcard for my PC, having newly upgraded to XP, and I have to say that I'm really, really happy with it. Easy to install and ran along with it almost straight away. Note - as it is an OEM, it has no cables, but if you're just replacing your previous card, just switch the cables over.

    Overall, I'm really, really happy - Creative does it again.
