I ran both Xtreme Audio and Xtreme Gamer cards here with the Gamer model in current use to find that Creative's XP driver updates where a "web updater3 for Vista" when initially going for the July 07 release. Both cards sounded the same in games and media players alike while the driver support was "Vista geared" when selecting XP as the OS.
Once you get past that and choose the Dec. 06 update which turns out to be the "web updater1 for XP" and don't allow the software installer to automatically go for updates or allow the MS Windows update site to do the same if running XP you will be set with any of their models. Never saw that crap with the Audigy line.
