I second that. I bought an SBLive for my Win2k box because my Aureal card
is not well supported with either Win2k or Linux.

I have the Klipsch ProMedia v2.400 (I think that's the right product code).
They CRANK loud and clean. 160 watts into the subwoofer and 60 watts per
satellite. Early versions (like mine) have a slight hiss at idle due to the
amp design, but it quickly gets lost at normal volumes. This model has tons
of reviews and almost always get an editor's choice award.
