Pros: Fast and sub $200 2 Gigs of RAM 192-bit Memory Interface Runs GREAT in Linux Cons: none Other Thoughts: I have been dual-booting Win 7 and Mint 14 for a year now.

Britt 5/21/2013 4:45:08 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works Great! Some Digging Required Pros: I needed something to let the USB 3.0 ports on the front of my machine work as the motherboard did not have the correct connector. This was a simple install (though no clip included to keep this in place, so have a screw handy) and is exactly what I was looking for. Cons: This came with a driver's disk, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time sifting through every file, looking for the driver installer on the disc. So I went to Syba's website and was able to download and install the driver. Other Thoughts: This is a great buy if you're looking for a way to connect your USB 3.0 front ports on your case. It does take a few minutes to locate and install the driver from Syba's website, but other than this, it is a great solution for a great price. Did you find this review helpful?

Booman 5/21/2013 4:44:14 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Loving Gigabit Pros: This Gigabit expresscard beefed up my speeds on my old laptop. Now I can copy/paste games and files twice as fast. Portable, easy to use, drivers already installed in Windows XP Cons: none Other Thoughts: My typical PCMCIA slot is wide and the card doesn't feel secure, I'm afraid the card will come loose and stop the connection with a tiny bump Did you find this review helpful?
