What do you think of the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS platinum sound card?

Anyone have this card and is it easy to install?

Thanks

I have this card and I love it!! That along with the Creative Inspire T7700, 7:1 speaker set up it ROCKS! (literally).
Great combo, great price!!

As far as install and setup it was real easy, just be certain to go to the Creative website and get any current updates, there were a few little bugs that a update that wasn't included on the install disc took care of. If I were to rate it I would give  it a 8 out of 10.
Not a ten becasue the Media Source and EAX console takes a little longer to load than I would like but the quailty makes up for it!

Same one I have too...... except I have the Gamer version.  GREAT sound.  But get good speakers.... they matter as much as the card.

best,

Hi,
Well the SB hardware is good but the drivers have allways been a bit iffy, they bundle so much 'useful' stuff with them they are a real pain to use. I swaped from the Audigy Platinum to the M-Audio revolution and to be honest it's the best change I've made
