God damn Creative sucks. They fixed a lag issue with DVD video, what about the lag in games when you run EAX options??? Oh we can't fix that... man.. Audigy2 and you think these stupid asians could fix it but no, Audigy2 is the next level of lag from Creative. I swear I'm not touching their junk ever again.
