Saw an article about a site where you say what you
whant and what price you whant to pay for it cant find
url do its about reverse auction I think.

its an all in one package and if the already there dvd
bust its nice to have replacement I know my already
there 19 " monitor busted add too switch to my already
there 17" since my already there 19" will probably be
gone for a month or 2.

I would not, look up awe 64 or oem sounblaster live
there is alway ebay
www.ebay.com
or yahoo auction
got to watch price because in american dollar

ask nuance to lower there price hehehe
I figure the

trust me it wont I remember my neighboor who is a
musician coming to my place and saying what card I add
when I installed the awe 64 from a sb 16 , thats what
he add a sb 16 and I add to give him the exact model
because he wanted the same at that time.
and I dont think they have the same number of out plug
, The live drive has SPDIF IN and SPDIF OUT jacks. It
has a headphone jack and a MIC IN jack
its 2 for sb16 and 4 for awe gold and up

probably be a port of it to linux by then hehehe
another option would be to write at creative and ask
them if they would be willing to give out prize like
platinum card to your website in exchange of testing
of the remote under linux and free advertisement ...
thats worth a shot ... worst answer is no , best one
is do you whant to test dvd , soundcard and other
stuff ...
