well i figure if ur a member of o/c.com, then u know what ur doing.
if u want to be safe, DONT INSTALL THE PLAYCENTER! or any other apps off of the cd. it tries to put in its own usb drivers that are optomized for using the nomad mp3 player.these DESTROY winXP. youll be reinstalling windows if u do. Also, the install program crashes the computer if u run it off of the cd. copy the cd to the hard drive 1st. i would only install the drivers. i also have the playcenter, but it took some careful tweaking and a few reinstalls of winXP to get it working. it also only works in PCI slot 4 in my system. otherwise, once all of the kinks are worked out, its a badass card with almost no cpu overhead.
