Changed my life

Pros: I bought this randomly since it was available for less than $10 never thinking I would really use it all that much. Ho.lee.sheizen. I use this thing all the time to label just about everything. At one point, when I first got the machine, I was so label-drunk that I actually put a sticker on my wife identifying her as "wife" much to her chagrin. This little baby has taken my overly ridiculous organization to the level of ludicrous and I thank you, Brother! My wife, on the other hand, might have some choice words for you! }o-)

Cons: Wife does not appreciate it when you label her "wife" just in case "you forget."

I'm not a real gamer

Pros: I'm not the best person to write this review because I never really pushed this card to its limits. I'm not an avid gamer and only bought this board because it gave me a high enough ceiling in case I ever wanted to start playing any MMORPGs. For what it's worth, I've enjoyed having this board installed, but I guess since all I do is basically use the internet and watch videos, it doesn't really get pushed that far. If you're looking for something that works out of the box, this is the card for you

Cons: The only problem I had was during the initial install. For some reason, the drivers wouldn't take and my screen would go blank! I kept having to pull the board, reboot, and then re-install the board EVERY time I would turn the PC off. I finally found the correct driver and the board has been fine ever since. Since upgrading to Windows 8 (and then to 8.1), I've had even LESS problems as the drivers have all been automated centrally.
