It's under $100. I am not referring to the Platinum version.
I love mine. It works better than I could have imagined, with the only bug being that NWN makes the speakers resort to 2.1...and I have to manually turn the 5.1 back on when I am through playing.

Best advice anyone can giev you. Anything under an Audigy will not even work with XP to begin with should you ever upgrade (at least not to it's full capability)
I recently bought a SB Live 5.1 with the Live Drive and considering I'm running XP, I went through hell with it. I did manage to get it to work with third party drivers but the card wasn't doing all it was supposed to, or at least it didn't seem like it.
I upgraded to an Audigy 2 which the Live Drive happily attached to and it was the best money I'd ever spent. Although if you're not running XP, you'll probably only encounter minor bugs here and there, I'd still recommend the Audigy 2 (heck even the Audigy) if you could fork out the extra cash.
