The one one offer this week here at OcUK.
Is it any good ?
Does it support EAX 1 and 2 ?
How are the drivers for XP and Vista ?

Would appreciate any helpful responses asap :)

Cheers ;)

I did a review (the first on here :p), great value for money. Will come in handy with tri sli as it only leaves you with a single pci-e slot.
 
BTW, and this may be a very stupid question ...but does it have to go in the little PCI-E x1 slots .. or can it work in any PCI-E slot ?

Edit ... just read your mini-review and see it can ... thats good my graphics card covers one mini PCI-E, and the other is directly above the graphics card, with the chipset fan cooler right above it, (EVGA 680i Mobo) so would probably be better in either the PCI-E directly under the graphics, or even in the lower SLi slot if it doesn't cause issues?
Ordered :)

Well all installed and seems ok so far ... apart from 2 things.
I have creative 5.1 speakers these are detected but on the speaker test page, clicking on the sub makes no noise as it does for the other speakers ?
Listening to music, it still works fine :confused:
Also they could/should have a control for balancing the front and rear outputs ....

Otherwise seems OK.
