So true. It's still a good laugh. I wouldn't doubt it if it was just an old picture that someone linked for this though.

Here's a better one. Gave me a good laugh

Creative still makes the chipsets that are on there and provide the drivers as well. If you want to ditch Creative then you need to buy a card that doesn't put revenue back in the pockets of Creative.

The Xonar is a very nice and very capable card. It even supports EAX.

Why are you assaulting me on my opinion. I find it very ignorant of you to be calling names. Also, FYI, I do own a creative card, and have no intension of destroying it for some stupid movement.

You were being dense. It's objectively true.

You clearly didn't understand the underlying reason for this happening, therefore you were slow to apprehend the concept of destroying the card. Therefore, you were dense. It's not attacking you, it's describing exactly what you are/were.
