Pros: I've owned 2 i7 2600k's and now a 2500k and it's just awsome. I don't much of any difference between the 2600 and the 2500. You won't regret it.

Cons: NONE!!!!

Pros: I'm speechless. Coming from a single AMD 6850 to 2 of these cards in SLI is just leaps and bounds. The cards don't reach over 68c and perform almost 100% scaling. These are beasts is all i can say. So long AMD, welcome green team.

Cons: I don't have 3 of them.

Pros: Ok first off, this card works great with 8gb ram and 64 bit os. I've used this card with win xp 32 bit and 2 gigs of ram then i ran it in vista 32bit with 4 gigs of ram. all works great. then i upgraded to win 7 with 8 gigs of ram and guess what...still works great. The drivers are fine and all compatable. They have win 7 drivers for it and just to make sure i took it out and ran in 2 other computers one with xp and the other with vista. the card is fine. its the other reviewers not installing it correctly which i find very hard to mess up. You just go to the creative site...download the lastest driver or use the creative auto update which also works great and let it auto install everything. Before you bad mouth a product, make sure you know what your talking about first.

Cons: The fact that people are ignorant and don't know how to install drivers. its really sad that they have to put a product down because of their stupidity.

Overall Review: This is the best sound card that creative has made period. i went from the audigy 2 gold to audigy x-fi gamer and this is night and day compared to those. If your not hearing a difference in sound, then you might want to consider changing your speakers. I have 7 year old dell 5.1 speakers and on every upgrade my speakers get better and better.
