Hey Mike: >>What are the tech problems with the SBLive?<< None that I can see... its just about perfect for what it does. Side from the bugs one may find. I was reading that it can now do "131 hardware PCI bus-mastered DMA audio channels" which is knock your socks off power. The coolest thing about the up grade path CREAF has chosen is not only does it make us look very good to gamers. We have scored a few BIGGER points with the HELP of Aureal. Aureal has said for some time every one sucks, we are audio gods(much like mediavision did)... and the gaming public ate it up. Till the SBLive came out, and slowly people gave the card a chance and fell in love with it from what I can see. At the same time Aureal has not only continued with its "we are the only good 3d card BS. " but has also put out numbers that support its claims in many posts and letters sent to web/news sites. Just like Clinton Aureal got caught with its pants down with numbers and comments that change over time or are just BS. Many gamers are questioning how much Aureal says is true if at all... thanks Aureal for shooting your foot. ; ) Now the 3D audio web sites are not going to say thy are wrong in hating CREAF as much as they did just a few moths ago since A3D is why and how they started there sites. But it is fun to see the change from we hate CREAF to CREAF is not as bad as I thought to now CREAF is the good guy and Aureal is looking good but not to good(its hard to change I guess). I have also seen the nuts that post weird stuff start to post Aureal flames... that's the 1st I have ever really seen of this. It was always CREAF that would get the flames over the last year... A new tide? As for product release activity... my best guess would be the amount of posts the CREAF news group has for the SBL topic. We have almost 3000 posts since the site was up... that's a lot of posts. All the other sound card news sites have nothing even close to it. All things point to strong sells. Adam-
