If you have an older computer or a computer with a small power supply this card is about the best you can do. Unless you want to get into buying a new power supply and possibly a new case (if you bought a factory built one you might be forced to sometimes) you just have to make do.
Well, by making do with much more "basic" power supplies in the 250 watt range this video card is perfect. Above average graphics considering how low wattage it is, doesn't get "to hot" under lots of stress, and has a great price.
Sure it's not going to run modern games on high and doesn't have the power of modern cards for other tasks, but it's still a step above integrated video cards.
If you have a cheaper or older computer and just want to upgrade the video card without having to start upgrading everything else it's great. If you're trying to do an overhaul of a machine, just move along.
Only negative really is that since it's an older version the software that comes with it probably won't work very well with a more modern computer, but that's almost to be expected.
What's great about it: 250w requirement, decent graphics power, price
The ideal entry into the world of powerful stereo sound:The HD 201 has good attenuation of ambient noise with outstanding wearing comfort at an affordable price. Light weight and comfortable to wear.

These headphones really are insanely comfortable without any doubt. Only complaints about comfort are that they do get hot since your ears are surrounded by them.
Other then that, they can get annoying with the wires that protrude from the headphones down past your chin slightly. Causes them to get twisted quite a bit and be overall annoying since they get in the way.
Sound quality is good but has absolutely no bass. If you listen to techno, rap, etc., these should NOT be bought. There is no bass at all almost. Everything will sound insanely odd.
Ignore that and they sound good with good stereo playback and all, but the bass levels are so low that it's hard to describe in words. You almost need to use sound effects to add in SOME bass. It's hard to get past to be honest.
The cable is about as cheap as it gets. The kind of cable you would find in a junk 1 dollar radio. I get the feeling that if I stepped on the very long cord or it was damaged at all it would be done for right away.
If you want to use them for a PC then you would have to deal with no volume slider, constantly changing the volume levels of every video, every game, and/or your system volume. Something that doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but really amounts to a gigantic hassle more often then not.
They're ok headphones, but the bass is atrocious and makes everything sound weird and no volume slider makes them insanely frustrating for PC use, what I primarily use them for.
Simply put, these do not live up to the hype of the Q&A or anything else, just in the comfort aspect.
What's great about it: Very comfortable, very adjustable, clear sound with good stereo effects, decent price
What's not so great: Almost zero bass, very thin cheap cable, no volume slider (important for pc use)
