Yup, Guillemot's Hercules cards (GameTheater XP, Muse XL, Fortissimo2) are waaaay better than Creative's SBLive/Audigy. Audigy is newer and should be better, but alas it's a load of crap, so if you've no choice but to go for one or the other, go for the Live instead.

@DJEgg: note that SW60-XG is a (no longer manufactured afaik) MIDI-only ISA card, it doesn't play/record WAVs at all (but it's MIDI still owns all currently manufactured consumer cards, and it doesn't require any drivers / eat any IRQs/DMAs).
