Strengths: I bought these for my megaworks speakers and the difference is perfect :)
Weakness: None
I bought these off of ebay for $48 and just oem (but I found the software online as a cd iso). Having owned the soundblaster live 5.1 these are just a better version of a great card. I will get the Audigy 2 ZS but until I can afford that this is only 106 db signal to noise ratio compared to 108 for the 2 ZS, all in all $48 well spent :).

Strengths: EAX 3 support - FANTASTIC. Support for upcoming EAX4 with a patch from Creative Labs.
Weakness: None so far.
If you have onboard audio, you must upgrade to this card. I have an Abit IS7-E, with onboard sound (AC 97') codec, and kept getting cracking sounds and such. So I then decided to upgrade to the Audigy 2, and WOW. I'm kicking myself in the rear for not doing this sooner.

A good way to spend a few bucks to make you good ol' PC a bit better :) I had SoundBlaster 5.1 before... what a difference!!! Users of Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal II will understand. This card is well worth its price. Rock on!

Like most of Creative products...
Strengths: OEM package is a great deal. Quick and painless install. Fantastic sound quality, tons of features, excellent Creative software bundle.
Weakness: No Live Drive. Audigy 2 ZS is only marginally more expensive, with many more features.
Like most of Creative products throughout the years, the Audigy 2 provides rock-solid, fast, powerful audio processing and playback. With tons of features, 6.1 support, and THX certification, this card packs in a huge amount of value with a very low cost to the buyer. This is a great card to get if you are currently using an outdated non-5.1 card, or are using your on-board sound processor, and...

Awesome card and well worth the price. I upgraded from an old Sound Blaster Live! card, and wow, what a difference. MP3's, games, everything sounds a lot clearer. Highly recommended sound card.
