I have to say that I've always been impressed by Creative sound cards, all the way from my original SB16 AWE32 ISA card right up to the Audigy2 I got a year ago. The biggest thing I have to say about Creative is that it's really the de-facto standard. All games, movie players, etc. should all have no trouble using all of its features, from EAX to Dolby Digital. Obviously if you're interested in doing studio quality mixing or need 32 MIDI channels or something, then a Creative card isn't for you. But for standard sound card stuff, you can't really go wrong with a Creative card, IMHO.
