I still have an old SB PCI64 in my system (hey I bought it for $27 4 years ago and it has served me so well. I hated to get rid of it) and was thinking of upgrading. I have a KT7Raid board and was eyeing up either a Fortissimo II or a SB Live 5.1 Value. I'm leaning towards the Fortissimo. Are there any known problems with this combination? I know the SBLive family had some issues a couple months ago but they should be fixed by now. I've just been getting some crackling with the sound lately (actually since I upgraded to IE6) when I'm watching flash movies on the internet. I figured it might finally be the sound card giving up the ghost or something else but EAX and A3D can't be all that bad of a bonus.
(Note: limited budget so $40 shipped is my max.)
Thanks a bunch guys (and gals).
