Take it, you won't regret it. The only downside, as far as I can tell, is that if you do not have a USB sound card included in the package, you will not have access to the awesome surround sound mode. I attempted to connect them by means of a 3.5-millimeter connection directly to the motherboard; however, none of the equalizer settings or other native software features functioned properly as a result. Unless you attempt to setup it on your own using the Realtek software.
