Product information
Used Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 GOLD. Card only (no official box, manuals or software). Good condition. Gold plated connectors!
Still in working condition, but should rather be considered a rare collectable than an operating card.
Interesting info:
The AWE64 Gold was the pinnacle of professional Sound Cards pre-2000.
The AWE64 Gold is ISA sound card that is an upgraded version of the Sound Blaster AWE32. The "AWE" stands for Advanced Wave Effects. Creative part number is CT4390.
It has gold-plated audio connectors and uses an E-Mu 8000 chip as its main processor. There are two variants of the AWE64: The gold version with 4MB of RAM, and the value version with 512KB of RAM and without gold-plated connectors.
The RAM could be expanded...

Again, this is a collectable, historical item and if you are searching for a normal modern sound card, then this isn't it.
