I have already tried that one, and it works in quake 3. But it isn't so goot, sounds are muffed and the CPU load is incredible. And I cant run in SMP because of the SB Live!
 
A3D and 5.1 output, that'll do it.

Creative's drivers for the SBLive! are terribly buggy!
The latest (12/07/00) drivers can cause BSOD's under Win2000!
Just try running this screensaver: http://reallyslick.demonews.com/savers/flocks.zip if you have a SBLive! card and Win2k!

Workaround is to remove devldr32.exe from your system to get rid of the crashes!

Yeah, it's out of stock everywhere. I'm going to Fry's tomorrow, last ditch effort.
