  Strengths: good imitation of breakfast cereal

  Weaknesses:creative

  Overall Evaluation: creatives support is nonexistent. By the time they have support for windows 7 microsoft will have windows 8 on the market. Do some research, they make hardware not software or drivers. They never got full driver support for there products and windows vista. THEY JUST DON'T CARE snap crackle

  Strengths: Excellent sound quality, slight benefit in frame rate in some games

  Weaknesses:Cost, takes up a slot

  Overall Evaluation: The onboard sound on my motherboard was giving me fits with some games. Firmware updates didn't help. Decided it was time to go with a different hardware solution altogether. Went with a higher end card because my machine is an all-purpose box: DVDs, music, games. And I have decent Klipsch speakers that warrant a better-than-average card. This Creative card has not disappointed in that regard. Saw a definite but minimal improvement with CPU utilization too. Games that used to choke on audio (UT 3, I'm looking at you) now run appropriately. Costlier solution than some might require.

  Strengths: Small form factor, nice sound, great for gaming

  Weaknesses:Extra software but some people want that I guess.

  Overall Evaluation: Very good card, especially now that the price is dropping. I really like the smaller size as I have a pretty full case and this size helps with cooling and air flow. Recommended sound card.

  Strengths: PCI-E Interface, great sound output, digital optical TOSLINK In/Out, easy installation

  Weaknesses:lacks HDMI and front panel headers, Creative drivers and software

  Overall Evaluation: I installed this card a replacement for an older Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty (PCI with Front Panel Expansion). One thing to remember - UNINSTALL OLD CREATIVE DRIVERS WHILE THE CARD IS STILL IN. Windows Vista hides drivers of any missing peripherals. Initially, the new drivers would not install because it saw the old drivers and I couldn't remove them without putting the card back in. Ultimately, I found a program to sweep away all the Creative software. After that, the drivers installed successfully. A quick tip - you can avoid Creative bloatware (and get the latest software) by going to Creative's website and download the latest drivers (without all the bundled software). Otherwise, its a great card. Rich full sound and low system resources make this a good card once you get past the Creative software.

  Strengths: Easy to install, drivers that came with the card worked fine (for once). No compatibility issues with any games. Music sounds great, far better than my onboard sound or old Audigy 2 ZS.

  Weaknesses:Bloated software, some menus or features are buried. Four speaker outputs on the card was not initially compatible with my Inspire P7800 speakers, had to buy an additional cable for 7.1 sound.

  Overall Evaluation: Overall I'm very happy with this sound card, it's a great replacement for my old card. The PCI-E interface is a nice feature as well. Creative is notorious for its driver problems but I haven't had any problems with this card so far.
