My buddy works in a pc shop in the Netherlands so I asked him and he said they have no major problems with ASUS other then the typical things that apply to every company such as the occasional DOA,and so forth.

Some consistent evidence there then...
The main problem with analysing the poor reliability of Asus products is the time delay. Few exhibit problems at first, but a vast quantity go bad after several months.

I'm using an audigy SE in Windows 7 without issues or aftermarket drivers or anything...just use 7zip to extract the Vista64 driver package and install the driver manualy.


BTW...creative is a terrible company, they are better than some of the super-econo-cards, but companies like HT Omega are way better than creative.

Indeed, but anything but Creative or Asus sound cards are surprisingly difficult to find in the UK :(

That's why international shipping exists. Just be glad your not in Australia...no selection, plus crazy-high shipping costs.

That's true, my Q9550 actually came from the US, back when the E0 steppings didn't exist in the UK.
