They're all based on the CMI8788 APU; the Xonar D2 has the best bundle.

I've got the HT Omega Claro; sweet card.

And it never crashed my system the way my X-Fi XtremeMusic did.

Indeed - I do not doubt for a minute that plenty of people are quite pissed at Creative Labs, but I am apprehensive to accept that a major corporation would announce they are suspending sale of another major cooperations products in a forum.

Why post on a forum when you could put an official announcement on the site?

There is no official backing, the only "proof" we have is an easily fake-able email

I love how you have to BUY drivers from creative.... and pay some stupid amount for unhelpful tech support that tells you to just buy the drivers

Then cut out Newegg from the title, and name it "the demise of Creative".... I can edit the OP to cut out the Newegg quote, and change the link to "newegg's post" to "supposedly" or "rumor". edit: changed

Newegg would not post this type of response in a public forum.

Never, never, never....simply ludicrous.

Which would make it the same as the thread I created?

Merge time maybe...
