Creative Audigy DE SE or Turtle Beach Santa Cruz?

[U|tim4T3z]

Help me to decide whether to get the Creative or Turtle Beach? My speakers will be Altec Lancing AM 2100. Thanks for suggestion...

from what i understand, it depends on what you do. audigy for games, tutle beach for music. i can tell you from experience that the audigy is a great sound card. and that the klipsch pro medias are also the best computer speakers ive ever heard.

I use a TB Santa Cruz in all my PC's for music , DVD's and gaming on my Pro Medias .VERY pleased with the Santa Cruz .

You may also want to consider that some Creative s/cards are more problematic then the TBSC in reguards to IRQ conflicts and drivers (from what Ive read here at the forums) .

I may be alittle bias toward the TBSC cards , but thats because I've NEVER had one problem with any of them in any of my PC's .

You can get the TBSC (OEM) @ Newegg now for only $40 (recent price drop) . $40 is an awesome price for the TBSC and the lowest you'll find ANYWHERE !!! A retail box version of a TBSC goes for $80 .
