Pros: Very easy installation on Windows 7 x64. I didn't need to use the included driver disc as Windows detected and installed drivers automatically. Disc loading speeds are excellent! I've heard horror stories with slower drives taking up to 2 minutes to start a movie - I'm consistently up and running a movie in 30 seconds or less.
Cons: Not the manufacturer's fault, but a 3rd party program is required to play Blu-Ray discs since Windows Media Player does not include a decoder. Just a heads up for potential buyers.
Overall Review: For ATI users who are specifically using this to play movies on your computer monitor or HDTV: The ATI Catalyst Control Center, by default, has "Dynamic Contrast" enabled under the 'Video' tab. This horrendous feature washes out the picture, gives blacks a gray appearance, and generally ruins the overall picture quality. Before I found and disabled "Dynamic Contrast", I was scratching my head over the terrible picture quality. Do your eyes a HUGE favor and disable "Dyanmic Contrast"!!!
Nice videocard

Pros: Relatively quiet in my case. I don't notice any huge ambient temperature gains since installing. I have a GeForce 8800GT also installed in my computer and the ATI drivers properly detected it after restarting - no conflicts in Windows 7.
Cons: Cannot use both DVIs and the HDMI at the same time. You can, however, use a DVI, Displayport, and HDMI simultaneously.
Overall Review: Keep in mind: you CANNOT use both of the DVI outs AND the HDMI at the same time. You need an ACTIVE displayport converter (roughly $100) or a second videocard. I use two monitors (via DVI) and a plasma TV (via HDMI) - I decided to leave my 8800gt in the computer to handle the second computer monitor.
