When first going to put the new build together here newegg only had an open box Gamer for $80 so I walked into a Staples and saw the Audio and Musiz models with the Audio retail for $80. The Xtreme Music was $100 there. I bought the Audio model there.
The problem seen with the Audio wasn't the card itself but the auto web updater slapping Vista drivers either by the installer, MS update site, or when selecting XP at the Creative support site. The modes were frozen for creativity in XP and Entertainment in Vista where the volume, bass, and tremble controls were seen not in XP hpwever. The sound wasn't any problem just the software side.
