arkenzo 0 Posted June 30, 2002 Howdy folks! First time posting here so if I make a booboo, just slap me! Alright, I have a few questions for you hardware gurus Right now I have a SB Live! 5.1 X-gamer with Windows 2000. I've been running on a windows 2000 installation for about 4-6 months now. And just now I am starting to get that "snapping" "crackling" "static" sound when playing music or just gaming. I'm on an Abit Kr7a, XP/10.5x146FSB. I have had this card for some time now and I just think it's about time I give it a rest and pass it along to ebay or bbr. Anywho! I am thinking of grabbing the <a href="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=57&manufactory=1431&DEPA=1">Santa Cruz 6C PCI #TBS-3400-01</a> I have checked out some reviews and comparisons and so far, this card seems top notch. I am just wondering if people have had any problems with this card and Windows 2000. Mainly stable drivers, ect.. I will be buying this card OEM from newegg and I am wondering if the OEM cd based driver set comes with default Windows 2000 drivers. TIA! -Joe Share this post Link to post
acs1 0 Posted June 30, 2002 I have the Santa Cruz card and I can say that it was alot better than my SBLive Value card that I had before... I don't know about the CD as i never use it now but if it does not come with Win2K drivers just download the latest from the webiste which I am using now with no probs. Hope this helps!

Adam Right now I am using it on PCI #2, what PCI slot should I use the Santa Cruz in? I have an Abit kr7a. Share this post Link to post
acs1 0 Posted June 30, 2002 I have mine is PCI 2 also....do not know about the KR7a but had a KT7A-RAID before and it worked in PCI 2 which I think is because the slot is not a shared IRQ have a look in your manual and it should tell you. Share this post Link to post
