I have these two cards to choose between for a P233MMX system I'm working on that will run DOS/Win98SE and occasionally NT or OS/2. They're both in good shape and sound fine, have drivers for all the systems I want to use, etc. From my testing and research I can't find any reason other than personal preference to pick one over the other. In general, I like Crystal FM, so that's the direction I lean in, but before I make a final call, can anyone think of a strong argument in favor of the ESS? I don't currently have a wavetable module, but both cards have the header present if I ever decide to get one.
