Much better then onboard sound

Pros: Much better then onboard sound. Works with Windows 7 OK. It has clear quality sound, makes movies, music, and games come to life when coupled with good speaker setup and or good headset. If you do have decent speakers you will definitely notice the difference immediately. Get the latest drivers for Win 7 from Creative's website before installing.
Cons: These comments are not really cons just a heads up. It is a low end card with few features. You can't adjust bass and treble like on some higher priced cards. It is not an all hardware based card but with today's processors you will not notice this.
Overall Review: After installing you must go to sound properties and set the card at 24 bit, default is 16 bit. Big sound from a small card. Price to value is excellent. I gave it 5 stars because I think this is the best you can get at this price. As for their support, I had to deal with Creative on rebate issues and they were great in my case. Responded quick and helped with my problem. Windows due to all the copyright protections systems has taken many features away from us. Since Vista PC sound has gone downhill. XP still rules for sound. ln my opinion Windows sound is now on par with Linux, maybe even lower in terms of features. Thanks IP lobbyist and lawyers, parasites.
UPDATED: failed under 6 months

Pros: While it worked it would connect at about 120 mb/s or less on average going through several walls and tucked in a corner so I gave it a 4 star rating after 2 months.
Cons: Shortly after review it drops connection so much as to be useless. Reflecting on this it may not be a good idea to put a wireless receiver chip which gets hot next to a gaming graphics card.
Overall Review: I replaced it with what is so far a better setup. Gave Rosewill another chance and got their RNX-N180UBE USB 2.0 External 5dBi Antenna Wireless Adapter which is so far superior in every way and is cooler then others I've owned due to it's USB extension base and gets full 300 N speed. The 5dBi antenna picks up networks I've never seen before and I'm in a rural area picking up 5 networks. If this one dies quickly no more Rosewill.
Good solution

Pros: Better reception I compared 2 usb wifi chipsets and this wins. I receive a very good signal through walls. Bluetooth works well. Easy to install. Works with Windows 10 64bit Intel drivers and recent Linux. I booted into Ubuntu and the card was recognized and ready to go.
Cons: I haven't noticed any cons yet.
Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone looking for a strong fast WiFi connection with Bluetooth. I did have to clear the bios to get it recognized so be aware of common problems when installing an add on card. This solved the weak signal and dropouts
Economical

Pros: The drive is fairly quiet and doesn't sound like a hair dryer with a disk in. It is heavier compared to Asus it replaced, seems well built. Obviously easy install. I decided to change the SATA cable while I was at it. Support for all the long life disk media types disks that are expected to last 1000 years. It does what it is supposed too well enough.
Cons: Clunks and grinds a bit during the bios stage of boot. No software available.
Overall Review: This is a decent cheap drive that supports any cd-dvd burning for light use.
Impressive drive

Pros: This drive is very fast. Programs open instantly in many cases. Boot time is incredible. Looks very nice too if that matters. Comes in nice packaging secured in a molding foam material. The included tray will secure it in the case so don't have to worry about that.
Cons: Only con I noticed was my locking sata cable would not lock in place. It felt weak in the area and I did not try to force it.
Overall Review: It scores 7.9 in Windows index on an AMD 990XA motherboard in ACHI mode and a new SATA III cable. Remember ACHI mode on the AMD chipsets for full performance. Replacing a spinning drive with an SSD is definitely something to strongly consider. This drive is at least 3 times faster then the 7200 Seagate Baracuda it replaced. Boot time is about 15 secs for me, shut down maybe 5 seconds.
Very nice

Pros: The feel of this mouse is absolutely nice. The material feels more like a matte finish rather than slippery gloss, it is a non slippery grip in the thumb area. It fits well in your hand and the extra buttons are in decent spots. The mouse is fully adjustable too with software from Logitech.
Cons: The cord is thin. Not as heavy as some gaming mice (subjective, not a con to me). Logitech's software isn't the best but works.
Overall Review: I would defensively purchase a G400 mouse again.
