    I like the reviews of how the SB Live! Value sounds, but I dont like the fact that they tend to not get along well with other devices. Does anyone know of a good alternative to the SB Live Value that costs about the same?

    A new card was just released called the Acoustic Edge 5.1 PCI Sound Card that got a great review in CGW. They put this in there top of the line system and stated "just as good as SoundBlaster Live Platinum for half the price" You can look at it at www.philipsusa.com It goes for $99

    Also the Hercules Game Theater XP is pretty good, I'm have that in my system now and I like it. It's $149.
