This is an ACTUAL quote form CB's website (if you're interested: http://www.cle.creaf.com/wwwnew/products/sound/awe64/special.html):
"The AWE64 is upgradable with more memory so that you can download better quality sound for MIDI playback and
SoundFont Banks. Instead of using 30 pin SIMMs as required by SB32 and AWE32, the AWE64 uses memory modules
which will be sold through Creative�s extensive distribution channels. Currently, 4, 8, 12 and 24 MB modules are available.
The use of memory modules makes it easier for users to upgrade the AWE64. No jumper settings are needed as the board
will immediately detect the presence of a module. Your investment is thus protected through the option to upgrade. "

Yeah, sure, it's a NEW AND IMPROVED METHOD to rip us off! "we've found this great way to make u suckers pay even more!"
THey should have opted for a "cheaper" solution to the customers.
This proves, beyond the shadow of a doubt,that the guys from CB are hustlers!

Well, maybe a just little bit...

but hold on a moment, those boards don't cost much more than simms. besides, if you're using 30 pin simms like the old awes, there wouldn't be enough sockets to upgrade to 28 meg, 'cause 30 pin simms only go up to 4mb, don't they?

Same price for 2x4MB 30pins (here!).

OK! Compare a Pinnacle to an AWE64Gold. Hear the sound. Look at the options, extensions and at the PRICE!

The Pinnacle is not so fantastic. Too much EXPENSIVE!!!

If you have a small budget, choose a AWE64Gold and if you can, later, buy a multitracks sound card or only external hardware like sound modules, sampler(with midisync)...

This is the best way for a good performance and a good quality!

But forget the intermediate choice!!! It's a good way to loose money!!!

Cake.

PS: Anybody's doing gabber music?

Well, I dunno about the rest of you but I own an AWE64 gold and would have to say it's been nothing but a pain in the arse. Firstly, Creative put fuck all new drivers up for it and secondly it(or the drivers) cause audio crashes in windows which are completely fucked!!! Cakewalk 6.0 hates this card (alot) and has problems reinitializing it. The sig to noise is pretty lame still with -90dB and hisses like a Rattle Snake (good name for their new cards!!).. Cake , you are just a cheap arse mother f----er and I gotta say I would shell out for a Terratec Or even better an Event series card!!! Just to not have to deal with Creatives Garbage Sound card reputation. They are wonderful for games and shithouse for serious recording. Mark my words!!!!
