About The Revolution 7.1

With this card, gamers, media enthusiasts, and business users can add speakers and supercharge their systems with eight channels of pro-quality audio

THE Revolution 7.1 is half the size of the stereo sound cards of just a few years ago, yet it delivers up to eight separate channels of sound, is far qui- eter, and is priced less than $100. It includes full (not trial) versions of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, WinDVD4 Dolby Digital EX Edition,VJ Lite, and

trial versions of other software.
