Really Quick ! Which sound card?

[crawford]

Im ordering in 2 minutes, which sound card from newegg for around 60 or under !!??
Creative Audigy (not sure about this...)
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
???

Which one realllly quick ? Im leaning towards santa cruz...

 

[SWirth86]

Get the Santa Cruz....

And never make decisions on spending money this quick. Why must you order it in 2 minutes?

 

[WhiteWonder]

i'd go with the Audigy, just because i hear they are good

Santa Cruz

Sorry, but I'm happy with my Audigy...especially with more and more games supporting EAX HD!

Edit: An extra Firewire port doesn't hurt either. Oh, if music is your most important thing, also consider Philips line of cards.

because ive been waiting since friday .....
im actually ordering a whole computer to put together and im 100% sure of everything but the sound card....

 

[crawford]

oh yea the reason im not sure about the audigy is because ive had a ton of conflicts with my current creative card (live value) and its made me bitter about creative

Absolutely fantastic card, especially if you listen to music. Has highest marks in reviews, and a good price too.

[DeRusto]

Whew! I'm late..but good choice on the SC!!

 

[crawford]

hehe thanks. i was wondering what the hell happened to my thread, but the mods moved it to general hardware . Oh well it got enough replies in off topic to make the right choice.

 

[ST4RCUTTER]

Santa Cruz all the way man. You chose well.

 

[Sid59]

doh .. too late ..

for other references .. i'd go with the Santa Cruz card.

The only down part the SC has to Creative cards .. Santa Cruz card resamples all music to 48 KHZ whereas teh Creative line keeps it at 44.1.

Do i care? or even notice? nope. =D
