Does anyone know what all the different version numbers of the Sound Blaster PCI 128 mean or which version is the retail version?

I know with the Sound Blaster Live! cards there are tons of OEM versions and only two or three real full versions so I assume the PCI cards work the same.

Check me out at Transcendental Airwaves on Youtube! Fast-food sucks!

PCI 64 and 128 are just relabeled Ensoniq AudioPCI boards. PCI 128's name relates to its 128 note polyphony for its lame software wavetable synth. In other words, it is meaningless marketing. These cards have zero hardware acceleration. Very basic.

Get a Live or Vortex 2 for your PCI needs.
