I'll tell you what, read some more reviews:

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...rd-review.html

$100 limit can (and is) a limiting factor.
I just did this new build so I could say ADIOS to Dell and had to reuse some components.
Asus drivers have nothing to do with Creative, unlike Auzentech.

Say you had a ~$150 ish budget, what alternatives to the Auzentech Prelude are there?

I bought the Asus Xonar DX. I haven't quite gotten a chance to listen to it yet, (still tweaking my overclock), but I bought it on good recommendations.

Bluegears b-Enspirer has really high class Sound Quality, and it is under $100 (or perhaps just over, not sure any more) and there are absolutely no issues in Vista.
