Its the same chip on both, but the Montego is having an implementation issue whereby the sound lags. Turtle Beach is working on this issue. The X-Mystique doesnt have this problem.
That chip is used as the core for this sound card

Why cant a motherboard manufacturer incorporate it for onboard sound, and have a solution similar to the very cool Soundstorm solution?
Unfortunately, Creative doesnt do Dolby Digital Live, so you wont get 5.1 channels for games. The CMI8768+ sound chip lets you play games in 5.1 channels, similar to Soundstorm.
How difficult is it for motherboard manufacturer to use a better sound chip like the CMI8768+ to provide for Dolby Digital Live, instead of their current sound chips, which arent very good? Are any upcoming motherboards using this sound chip? And too bad Soundstorm died.
Too bad Asus did not use the C-Media CMI8768+ sound chip. That would give the board Dolby Digital Live - and be comparable to Intel's HD sound found on their newer chipsets.

More than speed, IMHO the biggest factor for HTPC hard drives are silence - the last thing you want while watching TV is annoying hard drive sound coming from your HTPC.
I have a similar question. I currently have an old PII (from 1998!) with two PATA hard drives - the original one withe Windows 98, and a data HD. Can I just plug the data HD into a new PC that has Windows XP on a SATA HD?
It sounds like you have insufficient power (amperage) available for that circuit. Have an electrician check it out. An overloaded circuit can cause an electrical fire. I once lived in a place in San Francisco where this happened, and the local utility electrician recommended that the landlord...
