This is often the case when swapping brands where one has features different from those
other alternatives. Which model Creative card do you have? If you are not running 2K or XP
at present don't go with Audigy 4 line yet. Those two models lack support for 9x-ME. That is
one thing that was found out in november when an Audigy 2 ZS Gamer suddenly quit. Now
another card has to be put in since 98 is on a second drive just to get sound. Creative will
hear about that one soon enough.
