Yes, I would recommend them.  I've never had any problems with mine and they
had WindowsXP drivers available as soon as XP was released, so they seem
very up to date with software and their website.  The only disadvantage
about mine was that it doesn't have any analogue inputs, but my plan was to
find a good external ADC.

At the time it was only a bit more expensive than the SB Live cards but
absolutely knocked the socks off them!  Now the SB Live cards are so cheap I
have one of those too (for the Joystick port and surround sound).

Well, you'd be able to test yourself up to 22050 Hz with a normal soundcard
(assuming your amp and speakers could reproduce this ok).
