Anyway, it does work, all the axes are recognized in XP and GPL and
calibrate, the problem is the response is very ratchety with major
deadzones, and is more or less unusable in the game. Does anyone have tips
on getting this to work properly, or should I give up?
Also, is there any Abit accessory connector that would add a gameport? thx!

All that's needed is to choose the nforce2 as the output device in control
panel.
Doing this gave a *dramatic* speedup in GPL! I went from 30fps at the back
of a full-field start with the santacruz (detail sliders all maxed,
1280x1024) to 33fps with nforce2. That is a remarkable improvement from
simply switching soundcards. I haven't ran 3dmark to check sound fps there,
but I imagine they are similarly faster.
The nforce2 sound quality is the same or better in GPL. I also tried the
old game Outlaws, and it appears my beloved Sensaura is not supported by
nforce2. So its doubly good that I now have the option of switching between
the two soundcards.

That solution also means that programmable devices are suported, and if the
Nforce2 mic input is ***you have alternative!
