The latest drivers for the card (which are still old) are damn slow compared to the ones on the included CD I found, particularly in EAX use.
No 64-bit drivers for it also, one of the reason I ain't bothering to upgrade to 7 yet. (64-bit only for me if I upgrade my OS)
My Audigy2 ZS has served me well these past years, never seen a reason to use onboard over it, particularly since I do make use of EAX support in games that utilize it.
