I have an ACM gamecard, but I dont notice any different from when I use my Soundblaster, but are there any great Gamecard out there?

When GP2 came out I tried EVERYTHING to make the game run better... more memory, better graphics card, faster cpu... ... also buying a ACM gamecard. IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER ! Soundcard gameport will work just as well. All the talk about faster, more stable is lots of bullshit to make you guys buy the stupid thing. GP2 was the biggest rip-off in games history. It procuced great screenshots... but it ran only well with no detail.

All ANALOG gameports are indeed essentialy the same. A digital gameport is definitely faster. Try a digital gameport and see if you still feel the same way. THe difference may be small in some cases, but it's there. Trips

The L4 has no comparison whatsoever. If you dont notice a difference when you use it than it's not configured correctly. If you ever have any problems getting it to work just email me and I'll help. You'll see that your calibration values are much more stable, (they dont jump around). Not only that but it will help with frames rate and it eliminates the polling of the com ports so you have a stable connection when using the game port in online gaming.

Shumi (or anyone who can answer this), Question... how much better is the PDPI L4 than say a digital game port in a newer generation sound card like the Diamond Monster MX300? Statistics/proof would be much appreciated. I have both, but don't have any utilities that can measure the difference. If I don't need to disable the MX300 game port, then I don't want to... plus I like having an extra PCI slot available... :-) Thanks!
