nedoporucuju... mam na pc par her a zrovna v novem ghost reconu vypadavaly zvuky a potom to nasledne crashlo tak ze to ani neslo spusiti.. jedine az po restartu ovladacu..

[24-bit]

Myslím, že fakt není důvod dávat tam tuhle betu, aktuální verze mi přijde bezproblémová...

[ace960]

instalovat beta ovladace od creative je zbytocne, vacsinou expiruju skor nez je nova verzia vonku, ci uz dalsia beta alebo final a byvaju velmi problemove, na druhej strane niekto si pochvaluje, ja bezim na starych poslednych oficialnych a ziadny problem, najblizsie nahodim nove oficialne, ktore by mali podla posledneho vyjadrenia moderatorov na cl fore vyjst do konca juna ale uz to odkladaju od marca
