Most Critical Review

works, but will not let the computer shut down

SYBA PCI-Express 4 Port Serial Card Model SY-PEX-4S
SYBA PCI-Express 4 Port Serial Card Model SY-PEX-4S

Pros: Works ok as RS-232 card.

Cons: Card causes the computer to automatically re-boot when you tell the system to "shutdown". There are NO BIOS or driver fixes to date.

DNS probs after 7 months

D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit
D-Link Xtreme Gigabit Router (DIR-655) Wireless N300, USB SharePort, Gigabit

Pros: Easy to set up...was working fine for 7 months

Cons: As reported by MANY, MANY others, D-Link has a quality problem going on that effects the DNS ability of the router.

Onboard Video Used Less CPU

EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 512MB DDR2 PCI Low Profile Video Card 512-P1-N724-LR
EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 512MB DDR2 PCI Low Profile Video Card 512-P1-N724-LR

Pros: It used a PCI slot (I had an old motherboard, P4 processor). I have a CCTV display that I wanted to get component (low def) video out (via the HDTV adapter cable).

Cons: Onboard video used less CPU than this card did.

Overall Review: Card installed fine (change your setting in Windows and then also in the BIOS) to use the card

SYBA PCI to Serial 4-port Host Controller Card Model SD-PCI-4S
SYBA PCI to Serial 4-port Host Controller Card Model SD-PCI-4S

Pros: 100% JUNK, READ THE PREVALENT REVIEWS!!!

Cons: Drivers DO NOT work in WinXP. Netmos changed names to Moschip. Using the "eom*.inf" drivers or the Netmos/SYBA drivers do not work under XP (even with a clean driver wipe and re-install).

Overall Review: DO NOT BUT THIS....'Cause you will be buying the one I sent back!
