Sonic Fury or Acoustic Edge...

[gyoung]

Which one should I get?

I've looked at reviews for both and just can't make up my mind.

I currently have an MX300 that has some problems with Win2K. Here's a thread for a fix: http://network54.com/Hide/Forum/thread?forumid=49648&messageid=987280319

I posted the new problem that this fix caused. Anyway I want to get a new sound card where the manufacturer of the card and the chipsets are still in business (Aureal & Diamond) and support their cards.

Both the Sonic Fury and the Acoustic Edge have features that are above and beyond what I need, but I figure they are more future proof than some of the cheapies.

There is a $20 difference between the cards, but that really doesn't make a difference to me.

Thanks!

If it helps:

My system:

Duron 600@894
Abit KT7-RAID
IBM 30GB Deskstar
32MB DDR Radeon
Pioneer DVD
Sony 8x4x32 CDRW
384MB PC133 RAM

Does the Acoustic Edge have two inputs for audio from the DVD and CDRW?

The speakers that I use are the Altec Lansing ACS44 speakers. These speakers have only a stereo jack. Will this work for the Acoustic Edge?

Future proof? How bout the SBLive? Its been around for the last 3-4 years and is still a high end card.
Also, you may want to check out the Game Theater XP. Very feature packed, with a external connector box.
