| As
the "ultimate" sound card, the SB Live! doesn't leave too much
more to be desired. While it isn't the professional card
PC musicians may want for the $200 you'll have to throw down
for this puppy, considering that no other card in its price
range comes closer, the SB Live! isn't too bad of a solution
for professionals with a tight budget. That price tag
may be a bit high for the average gamer who just spent most
of his/her savings on a Pentium II / Voodoo2 setup, however
if you're going to swallow the cost of an expensive sound card
it might as well be the Creative Labs SB Live!
Before
going out and purchasing the SB Live! remember that it is
a weak product if not used with the proper speakers, and also
remember that you must want quality output from the SB Live!
in order to be impressed with it. If you don't really
find yourself caring about the sound your computer can produce,
pick up a $40 PCI Sound Card and be happy, otherwise cough
up the $299 for the entire SB Live! + FourPointSurround combination
and enjoy some of the best audio available for this price
on the PC today.
It
has often been said that there's a hidden meaning behind every
title, guessing what that hidden meaning shouldn't be that
difficult now, let's see how creative the competition can
get in response to the SB Live!.
