I don't really get why you're getting so wound up


System specs updated
You must've missed my post about destroying hardwares. You're only hurting yourself, Creative is actually happy about being able to keep your money. If you really wanted to express your anger and hurt them in the process, you should've asked for refund claiming that it was false advertising, then burn the money.

Which post? Also guys, I just wanted to smash the thing to pieces and get pics for your enjoyment I personally never noticed the difference between onboard and my xfi believe it or not =/
Although that is a good plan, but I would've kept the money...

This thread is funny. You guys crack me up.

Sadly, the NewEgg thing is fake: the cards are still up for sale.

Would an x800 pro do?

We hate Creative and those of us who thought about it surely don't enjoy seeing you guys giving them free money......

As the drivers are the problem and not the hardware...

Why don't you copy the drivers to CD-R and set the CD on fire?
