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

VIA Motherboards (Reply to this comment)

"There have been reports of problems with AMD's newest CPUs, but I've built Athlon systems with it before and never had trouble"

I believe it's only a problem with VIA KT133 chipset motherboards, not so much Athlon systems in general.

I have almost exactly the same soundcard (Aureal SQ2500) paired with a KT133 motherboard, and the only issue I've encountered is that it doesn't always awake from sleep mode properly (the sound card, not the system). Of course, now that I run the United Devices client 24/7 I have no use for sleep mode anyway :-).
