New Asus PCI-E Soundcard

I've owned a couple of their MOBOs, they were first rate products. Cheap sound cards usually have driver issues, sound bad. A serious software vendor won't provide much help for cards like this. I'd walk away from this thing.

From a test I just read it actually blows away any soundblaster, but because of the proprietary EAX from Creative it cannot support anything newer than EAX 2.0 - making it pretty useless for games. But on all other fronts its a much better mobo sound replacer for the money than an SB, so if you don't care for games much, this could be worth your while.
