Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2000
Review: Introduced in 1998, shortly after Creative Labs launched the Sound Blaster Live, the Diamond Monster MX300 Soundcard is still one of the best sound cards available today. (Even better than the MX400 from Diamond for most applications, but more on...

Great Sound, Great Price, What else do you want?

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2000
Review: The MX300 delivers perfect surround sound and has finally evolved into a serious competitor to Sound Blaster Live. With nice 4 speaker, joystick and midi support along with low cpu drainage, the MX300 could be just what you were looking for.

Monster Sound, Monster Hassle

Date of Review:  May 19, 2000
Review: Monster Sound has great possibilities and is compatible with most computers, but not this one. Since it's installation, I've experienced continuous screen freezes, and drive crashes that require cold booting (turning your computer off and on).

The BEST for Gamers

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 1999
Review: I've had this card for over a year now, and it is still the best sound card on the market. I was completely surprised when I joined epinions and saw that only one other person had reviewed it. There really is nothing better on the market now. It...

Awesome sound card at a great price!

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2000
Review: I was using a sound card that was built into my motherboard, and it didn't seem to work well with many programs. I had read good things about the MX300 and when the MX400 got poor reviews I decided that I would try and acquire the 300 model.
