Ever since I got the Dolby Digital Live! drivers, the Prelude works just fine on my system. (Prior versions without that feature wouldn't install properly on Vista x64, though-not that it matters much when there are later versions that work.) (It seems that despite being a X-Fi-based card, it doesn't seem to suffer nearly as much from driver problems as the Creative-branded X-Fi cards. Weird, since you'd expect Creative to give more support towards their own cards...)

That wasn't my intention, silly. :P

@Trooper - Animated. :o

@TC - I agree with Guitar, Auzentech would be my choice if not Creative.

I certainly wouldn't own one if it didn't support EAX 5.0. (To get to the point, the Prelude has the X-Fi DSP, and thus has EAX 5.0 capability.)

The Prelude offers better sound quality, Dolby Digital Live!(though I hear that Creative cards can use it if you get your hands on one of the Daniel_K drivers), upcoming DTS Interactive support, and perhaps best of all, drivers that aren't full of bloatware and work fairly reliably!
