Tweak3D has posted a review on the Creative Labs Audigy sound card.



Creative is no new baby in the industry -- in fact its roots date back to 1989. When we think sound card we think Sound Blaster. Over time Creative has established itself as the audio experts in such a way that others base their sound card designs and features on consumer approved products taken from the Sound Blaster range.
