GTR 2 Demo is out now :-)

I have NO other issues with my X-Fi either.

Is Fong still at Creative? If yes, where can I find him (moderating a
forum)?

I used to follow the Creative newsgroup when it existed, have not really
followed their forum since they did away with
the newsgroup.
I recently ordered a X-FI card, and thought I would check their web forum
out. Holy cow, it is hard to follow, they have lumped all their sound card
products under a general forum for soundcards, and there is not much
organization to it. I do not recall seeing any posts from Harvey, at least
on the parts of the forum I read.

I would have to agree with the buggy code, they really write some bloated
drivers, I noticed now that I have the X-Fi drivers installed, it really
uses up more resources, and even my page file useage seems to have grown a
lot. Imho, any driver, that takes several minutes to install on an X2-4400+
socket 939 system, has a lot of bloat .

Thanks for your reply! Shame, that they shut down their newsgroups, the
forums are horrible.
