Pros: Excellent Sound, Very Cheap Cons: Installation Problems, Conflicts With Some AMD Chips
If you haven't upgraded your sound card in a couple of years, now's the time. The much-hyped, still-imperfect positional audio technology now threatens to achieve critical mass. So, your intrepid reviewer recently picked up Turtle Beach's Montego II...
Pros: performance, performance, performance Cons: price, rear speaker output not for all settings
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.
Pros: Great sound, hard to beat 4-way surround sound at $25. Cons: It's a bit temperamental at times...

Pros: Good Sound (A3D is amazing in space games) Cons: Non-Compatibility with AMD Chips, Win 2K & Linux
If I had written this opinion last week it would have been completely different.
I had replaced my old faithful AWE 32 with this wonderful, snazzy sound card from Turtle Beach! thats right, the people who make good sound cards. I had found...
Pros: Sound Quality, Linux compatibility, Free guitar pick. Cons: nada
This has to be the best damn sound card around, the sound quality is great and the A3D is the best i have heard. Also, I use this card in my SMP box in linux and it works just fine, so that should dispell the myths that it is not compatible with linux....
