    ...but I got a CD that says "Audigy Advanced MB" that has an activation key on the back. Is that that upgrade, or just my regular drivers?

    The Audigy CD you got is the software, interesting that it was included even though you did not order it. Regardless, I wouldn't install it. Over in the Gaming/Software forum people are saying better off not having it installed; some games don't like it.

    Welp, it all works fine and I was able to skip the customer registration. Guess I got lucky!
