Awsome!!! Thats great to hear, Actually when I was exiting my total nerd phase the GTXP was just on the horizon, but I heard people that were using the GTXP were also having huge problems using the EAX3D with duallie systems which is what I got.
so you guys are both saying that the audigy and GTXP work flawlessly with win2k and many if not all the features are present and working??
if it makes a diff I got a VP6 with dual gigahertz that I got a year and half ago, so Im guessing its going to be 1st revision vp6. heck Im not sure how these things work now-a-days do they even have diff revision mobos out there?
all input appreciated

The only major problem I ever had with my Live! under Win2k was (very) occasional IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO BSoDs when going to start a game that use EAX. I'm assuming it was caused by the fact that 2k ACPI assigned all my devices, including the Live, the same IRQ and nothing I tried to change that appeared to work. I never got to the bottom of it since it happened so infrequently it wasn't too annoying. Anyway, I'm on XP now and the problems gone so I really don't give a toss.
My Live! Value never gave me any problems under Win2k - I hear that 90%+ of Live & Win2k problems appeared under VIA chipsets.
Upgraded to an Audigy, only because we needed a new soundcard for work and that could happily have the Live! whilst I had the nice new Audigy at home.
Once again flawelss under both Win2k & WinXP.

Great board ain't it. God, I love nForce!
There are some cards, like Terratec (I think) DMX Fire that supposedly spanks the Audigy. But for most points and purposes, the Audigy is probably one of the best you can buy. I don't know how the nForce 2 sound will be, but I'm hoping nVidia adds more options in the future, as they lack an EQ currently. But that's really my only complaint about them.
