go for the santa cruz,i havent had a single problem with this card,ive had soundblaster cards before ended up taking them back..this is my 3rd Turtle Beach Card and i have been very happy with each one,as far as Phillips well they make a decent TV..but lets face it they were always a bottom feeder in the business.all these people crying about drivers really gets annoying.if you want a quality card Turtle Beach is the way to go.
