    Santa Cruz or GameTheater XP?

    I hope you fellow AnandTech readers will excuse yet another post on this subject, but I just have to know that I'm making the right soundcard choice here. Less than a month ago, I bought a SBLive! Platinum 5.1 for my KK266-R-based system, and I'm really down on the fact that it seems like I...
