Pros: really good quality sound, inexpensive
Cons: not good for gaming
Summary: I have been using the Creative Labs Sound Blaster PCI 128 sound card for about 10 months, and for the most part I have been happy with its performance. I have always used Creative Labs Sound Blaster sound cards in all of my PC's.

Pros: Cheep, PC Standard, Nice Sound
Cons: Seems to buffer sound, poor Win 2k drivers
Summary: I've owned Sound Blaster cards in all my machines. Computer after computer I built I ripped my SB32 out and moved it to my new machine. Finally ISA slots were completely removed from motherboard architechture. I was forced to buy another Sound Blaster. I ... read more

Pros: Price
Cons: Four Speaker Support
Summary: I've had this card for about 2 years, and during that time I have tried numerous times to get four speakers working at one time. It's never happened. I checked the web site, absolutely no help and I look in the included material. Sure the jacks are in ... read more

Pros: 4-channel audio, good MIDI
Cons: Not a SoundFont card. Environmental Audio not supported on older cards
Summary: I like music, I like video games. This card does both quite well. This card uses what's called WaveTable technology. I don't have much too say about this card because I did not own it long. I bought it one day, and I liked it, but then I saw the SB ... read more

Pros: Really inexpensive. Good to replace older cards.
Cons: no 3d sound. Bad quality.
Summary: This soundcard was on my must-have list a few months ago. I was on a huge budgetcut, but I was looking for a quality card. I saw all the good reviews for the PCI128, so I bought one of these cheap Soundblaster cards. BIG MISTAKE!
This card has ... read more

Pros: Great value, suitable for budget users because of great sound reproduction at a killer price.
Cons: Does not match up with high-end cards like the Live!, but then, this is supposed to be a budget card.
Summary: When I got this card, I was prepared to see a typical budget card: Not-so-great performance and features that are next-to-none. But Creative really impressed with the PCI 128. While some may argue that the actual product was designed by Ensoniq, are you ... read more

Pros: cheap, clear sound, good compatibility
Cons: cant find any
Summary: I bought this card to give my new system better sound than my old SB 16 pci, and it really gave SOUND!
Its a pretty cheap card compared to the other pro cards like the SB Live!, but this card is really a kicker in playing MP3's, playing games and ... read more

Pros: Good Sound, dual output, Legacy compatibility.
Cons: Only 16 hardware channels!
Summary: The SoundBlaster PCI is the offspring of the Ensoniq (now Creative) Audio PCI. This series at the time of release were the only PCI sound cards with legacy (16-bit DOS) compatibility (as of right now only the Live series has joined this card in this ... read more

Pros: Cheaper than a Live! Value
Cons: Horrible installation and documentation and tech support
Summary: This card can't shake a stick at the SoundBlaster Live! Value… I was highly disappointed with it. Upon installing it into my new Athlon system, my system locked at startup (Win98 and 2000). After exchanging it for another card (same model), the same ... read more
