Pete said: I have owned Turtle Beach cards before. I find that Windows drivers are not as good as the Creative ones. They were less robust when dealing with things like joysticks, midi connections, and DSP downloading. Perhaps they have fixed up them since I owned them, but my Creative SBLive (original and value versions) have no such problems. I currently do not use WinME or Win2K. Since most of the use in Windows is for games, I see no reason to upgrade at this time. I use Linux when it comes time to do heavy duty number crunching work. There the drivers for SBLives are far better than the ones for TB cards. I'm just going from what I've read from both reviewers as well as in user forums from people who've used them.. apparently the Santa Clara drivers are fine.. and the card overall is highly rated. As for Sb live... you not being in Win ME is probably a good thing:) Again.. I['m just going from what I've read online. Since I use Win ME.. he last thing i want is a buggy card or buggy drivers for it, since Win ME is already1 big bug (IMHO)
