Pros: Great sound, hard to beat 4-way surround sound at $25.
Cons: It's a bit temperamental at times...

Cons: Aureal is no longer in business. No new drivers for Win2K (use default Aureal)
Summary: As a person who has tested many cards for use in a computer music studio, the TB Quadzilla is the BEST!

Pros: performance, performance, performance
Cons: price, rear speaker output not for all settings
Summary: This product has got to be one of the best purchases I have ever made for my computer. Being a music-freak, I listen to mp3 audio files about 90% of the time I am in my room (when I'm not watching TV), and I strive for quality.
