question about santa cruz :)

[peang]

Is there only one version of santa cruz or there's several of them.

I just grab one from compUSA and it said "Santa Cruz: 5.1 Channel Surround Sound".

And when i went to buy.com it said "Santa Cruz: Next-generation PCI Sound Card for the ultimate Listening Experience"

Is there any different between one of them? and if there which one is newer?

Thx for the help.

<<"Santa Cruz: Next-generation PCI Sound Card for the ultimate Listening Experience">>

Now this is what I called good marketing..

Indeed it is, I picked mine up under the name 'Santa Cruz OEM'

Great card btw! ;-)

Yeah, they've updated the box a few times to showcase the positive reviews the product has picked up over the years, but otherwise the card has remained the same. I'm not aware of any major revisions anyway. The Santa Cruz retail, OEM, and Sonic Fury are all the essentially the same card.

Ya know, when the Santa Cruz first came out (over two years ago), it couldn't hold a dime against the SBLive 5.1 'cause the drivers were so bad (yeah, I was an early adopter), but now after alot of fine tuning, they're nearly perfect. Just goes to show what you can do with a product as long as you support it properly.

I have a question too about the santa cruz sound card please. Why with my Santa cruz sound card in my computer i get hard lockups in 3dmark2001SE and games?
