    The board looks nice, but I wouldn't go nuts over the sound solution... No X-Fi chip, so not perfect for games, and the components' quality isn't so great to compete with audiophile solutions.
    Auzentech Forte should still beat it by a mile.

    From what I gather, it uses the latest Creative engine. X-fi might be on the way out...
