Anandtech does Creative Labs [1]. If you have followed my past posts, you can see why I’m not surprised at the author’s conclusions.
Update Aug. 31, 2008:
http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/04/daniel_k-who-fi.html [2] documents what happened over at Creative's forums. What a way to treat your customers. In one of my recent posts, I described my experience building a new PC.
I was sure to avoid any Creative audio cards this time, however tempting.
