I will not settle for the most I can get for my money. I'm canceling the order and getting the other one.

I called it a night just before you ordered the SE by mistake. I could have told you the SE wasn't as good before you ordered it.

Never mind.

just get a nice high quality one from Creative and you'll be good

i would suggest a X-Fi series

How's the Audigy 4? i mean, it does have a DSP,.. so, does it 'unload' the CPU just as much as a x-Fi card?

yeah those are nice ones too but the X-Fi meant to be for gamign and such but a good Audigy4 will do too

i have an Audigy2 and so far i think it works

Will I notice a difference between the too? It might be too late to call of the recall

. There goes $50.

you can always return it

and im not sure be usually the SE seems to be worse i think

Is the sound quality bad on the SE? I mean does it suck like a bucket of ticks? Or is that better than the sound card I use (from eBay for $1 brand new-32bit)
