Had this card and i/o 5.25'' bay drive for almost 2 years, no issues at all. I had no probs switching it to Vista. I do want y'all to know that it does sound great on a Yamaha 6.1 system. The toslink saved me, my pc speakers died and I used my living room as a computer room until I got new pc speakers [4 months] Fatal1ty saved me, it can do the same for anyone! I stand behind SB all the way. Get it with the i/o its a must!

What can I say? Run, don't walk, to your nearest CompUSA for this sound card. It is really on the expensive side but you get what you pay for. Excellent software, fantastic sound. Had the X-Plosion just before this but couldn't stand thinking there might be a better sound card around. There is. This is it. BTW fairly good support too. Am hearing things in older music like ''Tommy'' by The Who that I never heard before. That says something. Movies are widespread and well bottomed. Using a set of Logitech X-540's and I could not ask for more...at the moment.

I installed it, it works great. Be careful of the installation manual because, the PCI 2.0 is not PCIe 2.0, but the older PCI Slot. It should have been taken for granted in the manual since it fit in the slot, and it is intended for the newer machines. All of the drivers and software work great with Windows Vista 64.

For anyone who cannot get this card to work on their system must be a noob at building custom PC's. I put this into my existing Home Theater PC and it was up and running in 10 mins (after soft/driver installs). No complaints, this car has unreal sound quality. The 5.25 bay I/O interface is handy aswell. This card sounds AMAZING through a 1000Watt THX Certified 7.1 Home Theater Receiver. This was the final piece to my THX Certified system, my old SB Audigy was not THX, so i opted for this beast. If you are an audiophile then BUY THIS!!!!

I have the ''Platinum'' edition and it has been great. Even the software package has proved usefull. With the drive bay unit I have been turning LP's onto disc real clean with the Creative software. Sound quality is equal or better than my hi-end surround system with a Logitech 5.1 speaker system. We do get what we pay for. You will hear the most suttle sounds in games and clear when everything is going at once.

DO NOT BUY
I got the X-fi Fatality Platinum and it did not work. Period. I tried all the updates, workarounds, etc. It was past 30 days so I had to deal with Creative Labs. The only advice they could offer was that my bios needed up dating. (I was building a new system..new MB) I held onto it until my next build and wouldn't you know it. Again with a brand new mobo, different brand, it still was inop. I think Creative Labs knows their products are over priced junk that 'selectively' works, has compatibility issues and can only offer the ''update your bios'' advice to escape any admittance. For that price a person should NOT have to work so hard to diagnos a product and get it to be compliant/operable and spend one's time researching on the web how to make it work. Would never buy one of their products again...for a $180 I got a useless piece of junk and the runaround.

I got rid of my old Audigy 2 ZS because of the squeal of death, which crashed every computer I put it in for the past 2 or 3 years. I got this hoping it would stop. But it didn't. I'm returning it to get an Asus Xonar. Maybe I'm just really unlucky?

Who ever says no Windows Vista x64 bit drivers exist must not frequent the Creative Labs web page often... Because if you do some basic driver searching, the x64 bit driver is listed
(Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series Vista Driver 2.15.0004) So really, you can go ahead and purchase the above sound card and it WILL be supported fully under the 64-bit environment.
Go to hell nay-sayers.
