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
