[stereo555]

BBA 9800P and TB Santa Cruz .

Thinking of going with a Audigy 2 ZS as Creative seems to have done a nice job with this card from all the reviews Ive read . Just worried about Creatives drivers being overkill with size and features that I do not need and along with the fact that Ive never had any problems with any of my TBSC cards in any of my systems todate .
If the price comes down abit more on the Audigy 2 ZS , then I may have to convert to Creative .

[tom10167]

^^About the drivers. I have an Au2 platinum, ZS wasn't out at the time. I installed the whole "standard" thing when I popped the disc in and WOW. You have a lot of control over everything. Well, I only have two really, really big speakers, so I uninstalled everything but the drivers, and it's really not an issue. Fret not.

Audio has never been a primary concern of mine, I usually have used mostly onboard in the past. Right now I'm using Nforce 2 audio and a Radeon 9800 pro.

[voodoomelon]

Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro, supposedly on the way (5 weeks ago).
Sapphire 9800 Pro 128mb.

[hario]

Visiontek GeForce 3 currently and GeForce 4Ti 4200 coming.

Onboard Realtek sound from my NF7-M, and I have SB Live 5.1 as a backup.

[PingSpike]

I would pop that SB live! in if I were you hario. Onboard sound of pretty much any kind eats up cpu cycles. I heard the nforce2 sound uses 16%. Thats a chunk.
