Pros: Price is right!!!!!!!!

Cons: A lot of fat. Creative software insists on installing a lot of useless programs that you my never use. The learning curve is is steep as some of the features are "To much of a good thing"

Overall Review: It took me about 30 minuets to get the sound dialed in. Treble and base have to be tweaked by hand to archive quality sound and you have to dig deep into hardware settings to get there.

Pros: It worked, inexpensive.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Just remember that Windows XP will only see up to 4 gigs of RAM and show you 3 gigs addressable under My Computer Properties.
