Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum - 6.1...

Strengths: Great sound, plenty of extra software.

Weakness: Not much of a weakness but the link cable from the sound card to the audigy 2 drive wasn't rounded.

This sound card is great so long as you have a good sound system to hook up to it or just like the extra interface. Extra software is useful to have if you like editing.

Strengths: Sound quality!, input options

Weakness: Bundled software currently conflicts with ATI's All in Wonder 9700 video card tv shift/record feature.

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum - 6.1...

Strengths: Great sounding, especially when connected to a good speaker system. Also has good array of output aand input connections

Weakness: No rca audio out connection. Caused IRQ and driver confilcts on my first install, would crash when trying to open settings. Now it works well on my new computer.

Great sound card overall, especially for use with high end and surround sound speakers. Many connections, can be used with just about anything. DVD audio playback a plus too.

Strengths: works better than factory motherboard sound cards. Installed great on windows XP

Weakness: cost about 10 times the price of generic sound card About the same price as a quality mother board

Has great sound fields it creates. Get out your retail Cd's out cuz most Mp3's just don't have the quality to keep this sound card alive. Have not used the 6.1 sound setting yet.
