Last time I checked you could send e-mails to other students with these things. Plus you can store all kinds of codes in them that can only spell cheat in my mind. Gawd...don't ever lose on of these toys at school! Someone might go home happy and pawn it for some beer or something worth wild. Now if only you could play super mario with one..lol
I'm with you on this one../nod
They make much better cards than Creative by a long shot! I've also had good luck with Turtle Beach cards. SoundBlaster cards are just too dang popular and I guess they don't care anymore to make a good product if they can sell them reguardless of quality?/shrug
C'mon, I've had nothing but pain with all kinds if systems with Creative soundcards. There software is bloated to the extreme of being like Ms Windows. Who does not turn off that 16bit dos emulator to gain more system resources in here? Creative cards have a bad habit of also sharing IRQ resources, but not stably. Creative cards come with very little updated software/driver support. Has anyone noticed that they fail to put any links for the Live 3.0 software? That is right my friends, you have to BUY the CD or look elsewhere. But enough of what we know sucks about Creative sound cards. The only thing I do love is my Creative 52x Cd-rom, at least something was built right. =/ I can prove most of my ill feelings with the one game called EVERQUEST. Yes, that is right, just ask most EQ players that have Win98 or XP with Sound Blaster problems, which comes to about 400,000 players. Now I'm not trying to start a crusade to put down what used to be a leader in the sound card arena. It's just that there was some really good sound software and hardware like Aureal Vortex (A3D) that got sucked under by the fat cats. I've come to the conclusion that Creative just builds cool looking stuff and plays off on the popularity of the name. After having 3 Creative sound cards and not one game that ever ran flawless with sound, I must accept that they are no longer worthy of the pimp daddy's money.
Now after buying a Voyetra Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard, all of my problems have been solved with EverQuest! I wound recommend these cards to anyone as a good alternative to Creative soundcards.
