That is exactly what I did last week. bought X-gamer for 80-25coupon=55, which is about the same price for SBLive version 2 OEM. I don't know if it's hardware itself, or improved drivers, but it sounds better than my old SB AWE64 ISA, and for that, I think I got my money's worth. I didn't try yet, but I also heard that you can use this soundcard for 5.1 speaker setup. Anyways, the model number is CT4760. You can buy the card alone from e-b-a-y for around $50, too.
