Review 1 of 4

Price Paid:  $25.00 from online

Summary:
Warning if you purchase this card it is without support. Which is normally fine, but this card hasn't had new drivers in almost 2 years. I bought it knowing it got good reviews and the price is right. But come to find out on newer games it will periodically cause the game to crash to windows or lock up your comp.

Review 2 of 4

Summary:
Awesome Card! I dont know what this South American dude is going on about, but this card rocks. In games such as half life and its mods i can hear enemies sneaking up on me I can tell if they are above, below, left or right, front or back. A must buy if you don't want to shell out more dollars for the same performance of the sblive! I noticed a speed increase with framerates and overall performance, perticularly noticable at the quake III ID logo screen. Before it was choppy now its loose as a goose.

Review 3 of 4

Summary:
This Card is pretty complete, and has emulations of EAX,and A3D, and supports Sensaura and DirectSound, where it really shines. For pinpoint 3D accuracy, this card is tops, no contest. However, it needs a little driver upping, which should be out in a while, which is nothing too serious.

Review 4 of 4

Summary:
The MX400 seems to suffer from the absence of Aureal working together with S3/Diamond. ESS technology is not know for breaktrough technology.
What about Sensaura? It sounds pretty good. But in conjunction of the Canyon 3D compatibility is no good. HereticII wont work with A3D Enabled, also QUake 2 wont sound any good (It sounds totally jerky)
It has some compatibility problems in the hardware area.. And the joystick port seems to have some bugs (IT wont work with a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital)
