After searching the market for a new I/O interface for my latest computer system this had the best features at the best price. Sound quality is excellent! I've used Creative products for a long time and was glad to see that they have stayed in the upper market to support the latest technology. No problems running under Vista Home Premium 64.

I purchased my X-Fi Elite Pro in February of 2007. At the same time I purchased my best computer (much of it from Tiger Direct). I splurged on the new Vista Ultimate 64 bit OS. The sound card did work, after many months of waiting for Creative to come out with appropriate drivers. Finally, in March '09, Creative has most if not all the software available for my 64 bit system. The problem is, I still can't utilize most of the Record I/O features. It simply says ''Currently Unavailable''. After a long search at Creative FAQs and message boards with no answers, I e-mailed their support. Their answer was in effect: Tough S..T, your warranty is up. Go fish. This made me very angry since it is not my fault that their product has not been fully compatible with Vista (32 or 64 bit - I have tried them both). It has taken Creative years to catch up. So, my recommendation would be to look around for compatibility and make sure they don't lie in their ads. Great card otherwise.

I don't know if bad luck follows me around or the products I buy suck. But this is the worst $400 I have EVER spent. I had a pretty hard time installing it. It would not get recognized by my comp. I did not get any driver cd and the sound was crackly. I dont recommend this product to people because it is overpriced and mine had some pretty bad bugs.
