Oh btw, the rapidshare file has been taken down, and converted to a 597KB file with no header, so it can't be downloaded. Told you it was too good to be true Edit: never mind, it's just rapidshare's new speed limiting system, it splits the file into 597KB chunks and sends you one every 30 seconds. Since the file is 100 chunks, this could take a while... Update: as suspected these are Vista64 drivers, not win7 ones, so while they install, they cause BSOD code 119 when you try to play a lot of games. I think I'll play it safe, uninstall them and go back to onboard.
They can't keep him from doing it again. They can only remove what he has done. Also remember the version I linked to is for an Audigy SE.
Which is the very card I own. I'll do some more testing, the only game it's BSODed with so far is a very oddball title, but I still don't like random BSODs.
What title? AFAIK every game I own works fine in 7 with Daniel K drivers. Though mine is also a true X-Fi. My buddy mostly plays L4D, GTA 4, and Crysis all without issue. I play everything from old to new and I've also had no issues yet bar lack of EAX Positional in a small few games even using ALchemy...(FEAR).
My buddy works in a pc shop in the Netherlands so I asked him and he said they have no major problems with ASUS other then the typical things that apply to every company such as the occasional DOA,and so forth.
Some consistent evidence there then... The main problem with analysing the poor reliability of Asus products is the time delay. Few exhibit problems at first, but a vast quantity go bad after several months.
I'm using an audigy SE in Windows 7 without issues or aftermarket drivers or anything...just use 7zip to extract the Vista64 driver package and install the driver manualy. BTW...creative is a terrible company, they are better than some of the super-econo-cards, but companies like HT Omega are way better than creative.
That's why international shipping exists. Just be glad your not in Australia...no selection, plus crazy-high shipping costs.
