Rating: 3.6/5 from 5 reviews Hyper Threaded Processor Users BewareGreat piece of hardware!After using an old Creative SB Live! Value (The original, not the 5.1) for several years, I finally upgraded, and I must say I'm seriously impressed. As the other reviewers have said, Creative has horrible tech support, as was evident when I upgraded to XP with my previous card. This one, however, went in flawlessly. To anyone buying this who isn't a complete geek such as myself, I have a few pointers... 1) Uninstall your previous card first (Go to device manager, right-click on it, and pick Uninstall). 2) Take a good look at the directions, because there are several cables to hook up to both the card and the Platinum drive. 3) If you're using older (Analog/cheap) speakers, plug them into "Line 1", not the main speaker jack. And 4) When you turn the computer on after installing the card, put that install CD in right away, because otherwise windows bugs you about the locations of a few files during the PnP setup. Anyway, enjoy. This is a great product... The kind of quality I've come to expect from Creative. Huzzah! review below is from a crankthe review belowtitled "format" has been placed by a crank who has written the same review for EVERY creative labs product. cleasrly they don't know what they were doing, installed the card or software wrong and now have a grudge. | ||||||||||||||||
The bad about this card: It constantly crashes my Windows XP Pro box. After much searching I found that Creative has problems with Hyper Threaded or Multi-Processor systems. If you have one AVOID THIS CARD LIKE THE PLAGUE. Creative's idea?? Disable Hyper Threading. My idea?? Buy a different brand of sound card!
