It is a budget card with the ability to produce 24bit sound, but the creative processor is not as fast as it should be like in the Audigy, hence this sound card consume a lot of CPU Power in order to produce 24 bit sound in games..... so
24 bit Sound Blaster = 24bit Sound but, 8-10 fps drop rate in games
Sound Blaster 5.1 Live! = 16bit Sound but, atleast fps does not drop
=OLD Sound Blaster 5.1 Live! cards are better than the NEWER 24 bit Sound Blaster cards.....
