I consider myself fortunate that my first computer (a Gateway P90) came with an ESS card, not one of the usual Soundblasters. At that time it had a better set of midi sounds than any of the other mass market sound cards and they still sound very good and often better than current cards. It too has a very wide range of compatibilities including the usual Soundblaster emulation (which sounds better than a native Soundblaster) and a really nice Adlib emulation which really sounds quite musical.

k: Aye. Had one in my first x86 too - in fact, it is the one I installed in my current oldscool machine - and got another with the machine that contributed the motherboard to the aforementioned construct.
