It has caused me nothing but problems. It doesn't perform well in windows 98 and constantly caused me system crashes and failures. I would highly advise anyone against buying this card. Well absolutely superb card. I was in Singapore wondering what should I take the hyped up Live or the MX300 which I never heard of.
Software bundle is great.
I have a friend who has the Sounblaster Live. He loves my soundcard. Midi support is great. This thing is a 4 speaker system with a dolby digital decoder on board. The hardware equaliser is great when you want the extra bass.
