Registration to Digg? That's why only 43 people have done it. I regged because I'm bored, but I wouldn't if I were doing anything important.

Keep it!

It's not like Creative has suddenly become the anti-christ here. I've never had any issues with the drivers provided for me directly from Creative's site.

I assure you that the XtremeMusic is a very competent and quality card, and for the price you will not find anything better.

Apparently too many preteens hit puberty at the same time, Creative company takes toll.
