I actually scored on this card. Bought 3! One for me, and 2 that I will sell! Get the whole kit and kaboodle paid off and then some on my credit card *and* end up with a sound card that is NOT a Creative card!
Haha. This IS a great card. If I wasn't so gung-ho on the Xonar, I would have picked up one for the other PC. But $50... you cannot go wrong, that's for sure. Plus, this is based on a C-Media chipset, so it would work in Linux, woot.
