Hi, I have an option to buy a sound blaster 16 card for PCI. It is a CT4810. does this card support full dos and windwos98 compatibility? i think hey are pretty rare? i have actually a SB live card wich has dos support via emulation. does it make sense to switch?

SB 16 PCI is based on ES137x, same as SB PCI 64, SB PCI 128, etc.
There's nothing better about them compared to SB Live.

In 2003, I voted in favour of joining the European Union. However, due to recent developments - especially the restrictions on cash usage - I'm hereby withdrawing my support. DOWN WITH THE EU!
