I have a Creative PCI 128 sound card in my system but a friend is selling a card called Yahama XG(ymf724b-v),does anyone know if this card is better than my current one and is it XP compatable,thanks.

I have the Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Xgamer and XP and have had no problems at all. dont know about the Yamaha Card.

A couple of guys here swear by the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. It's on sale now, $20.00 off for $79.95.

Thanks for the replies but this Yamaha card is relly cheap and i am wondering is he doing me a favour or not.

Do a Google search for a review. Type in "Yamaha XG reviews" and see what comes up.

No, he is not doing you a favour!

Stick with what you've got...

I have nothing terrible against my yamaha, it's a good card, nothing special, there are dos games that need a soundblaster compatibility that the yamaha does not appear to have. They make some very nice high end cards for recording and mixing, this is not it. As Al said stick with what you've got.
