I can tell you from bitter experience that this is not true!! I tried to install it on an ME machine and it would not operate at all. I finally found out from the Audigy website that only XP is supported. I then committed my second mistake and upgraded my OS to WinXP. The sound system runs very well but nothing else does. I now have the most expensive stereo I have ever owned occupying in my otherwise useless computer box! Merry Xmas.	BeePee (2784)

I have no troubles at all with XP on the three machines it is on. A 2Ghz P4, 1Ghz PIII, and a 500Mhz PII. all run fine with no hasles at all. Only found one game that would not play and it was an old one. everything else works 100%.	Big John (551)
