I have an older Intel D975XBX2 motherboard based system that I run Windows XP, 7, 8.1 and 10 on and needed a sound card that still has device drivers available for all of the operating systems. Because I run this card on my newer system in a 7.1 surround sound configuration, I knew that the sound quality in a 5.1 surround sound configuration would be great. Also the card is PCIe which is a current buss standard so the card is somewhat future proof.

Pros : Good sound quality. Easy to install, with creative labs software. Has onboard connector for front headphone and mic inputs. Cons : Picks up electrostatic noise from other surrounding internal PC components. Such as, Video GFX Card fans, if they are in close proximity. However, noise comes and goes, with each system boot-up, load, and user log-in. Unfortunately, there may be a constant, low level ; Hum/Buzzing sound at any volume level above ; 0db.

This is a really great upgrade if you like high quality sound. And it is easy to install. Just install the card in a empty slot and install the driver. Then enjoy the great sound...
