I checked out that review: sounds like there are still a few minor glitches 
with the Audigy and Win98/KT266 systems.  (Yes, I'm still using Win98.)  
The KT266A is supposedly much more stable, so maybe the Audigy will work 
OK?  It may all come down to which motherboard to get.

http://www.tomshardware.com gives a glowing if somewhat one-sided review of 
the Audigy (the review doesn't even mention the problems with the earlier 
SB's.)

I'll think I'll wait for the KT266A motherboard reviews before making a 
final decision.
