Hi,
The company I work at uses the FIC VA 503+ almost exclusively for their
upgrades. Out of the two dozen or so I have personally installed, haven't
yet had a problem with one. Also, I have an Ensoniq AudioPCI (bought it
before Creative Labs bought them). No problem setting it up, and likewise
have had no problems with it.
HTH,
Donald Gaither
