I had the SB PCI 64 built in on my new PC's motherboard. Got a TB Montego
(Vortex A3D) when the SB PCI wouldn't work right with my joysticks and some
other flakiness. I kept wondering if I just blew $100 on the thing when I
coulda just waited for a better driver for the SB....the more I read about
SB and new drivers, I feel really glad I got the Montego :-) Well if the SB
Live Value had been out or the newer Vortex cards like the Diamond MX300, I
might've liked one of those with the 4-speaker sound but oh well.....
I have no clue how Creative got these things so screwy, it seemed the
Ensoniq Audio PCI was pretty stable and pretty good for the $35 you could
find them for. Creative comes in and buys Ensoniq, makes what, 4 or 5
different cards based on the Audio PCI chipset with "enhanced" drivers and a
jacked up price, OR the crippled version of the chipset that doesn't do 4
speakers and it seems has some other problems, the cheapest of these about
$45. And sheer confusion as to what you're getting, when the cards are so
similar in actuallity. What a mess......
