I got a pair of these today, they don't look anything like my other Lives, they are 5.1, not gold and have a little white connector near the top by the bracket. Are these some OEM card?

According to another thread on vogons (CT4780 with Win98SE)

It's a Dell OEM. this would make it the third Dell OEM SB Live that I know of alongside SB0200, which is a butchered Live with a cutdown EMU101 chip that does most things in software, and the SB0220 which has the emu101 and hardware acceleration restored. I own the SB200 and it looks visually similar and has that same white connector you pointed out so this supports it being a Dell OEM.

Does this card have functioning hardware acceleration or is it another crippled card?

It's only a suspicion but maybe the white header is mic input and audio out going to the front panel.

The Turtle Beach Santa Cruz has the same connector and they name it internal headphone/mic header.

I have a SB0220 (non-crippled SB Live! 5.1 Digital). That connector is in fact a front panel audio header for Dell PCs, but it can be mapped to an Intel HD Audio front panel connector. I made a custom connector myself based on some info I found on the Internet about a guy who built one of these for his Audigy:

SB Live 5.1 Digital Front Panel Connector

I believe I also saw some of these connector for sale on eBay from Hong Kong.
