Differences between Audigy 2 Value and the normal ZS

[Killmenow]

Hi,

I was just wondering what the differences are. Im not sure if I should buy the Value model or the normal ZS model........price is somewhat of a consern; however, from what I have experienced, "value" models are often ALOT worse than the normal ones....... Is this the case for the Audigy 2?? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thx

I read somewhere that Creative Labs doesnt have drivers for the Value on their site, and its hard to find them, but their is a site somewhere that has a link to download the drivers..

www.driverguide.com I think is the site that has that.

See for yourself... just open 2 windows and compare (I'm giving you links you lazy bum):

ZS ------ Value

Biggest difference are the onboards connectors... so if you dont need firewire or any fancy stuff then the value card will be fine... same audio quality i belive.

HOW DID HE KNOW!! D:


hahaha i actually tried looking at the two....but the creative site i ended up at was a lil screwed up :S (and i was too tired to make a comparision T.T)

Thx for the links

Edit: Ok, i tried to compare them again......the Value details are very very vague, but from the physical looks of the card, it looks like an EXTREMELY stripped down version of the ZS............ Anyone here have a Value card and an opinion of it??
