It works.

SYBA PCMCIA to PCI Convertor Card Ricoh Chipset Model SD-PCI-PCM
SYBA PCMCIA to PCI Convertor Card Ricoh Chipset Model SD-PCI-PCM

Pros: I had a wireless broadband USB modem that gave me fits. I traded it for the PCMCIA version and ordered this little guy. Installation under WinXP took only a moment. Not a single problem since.

Cons: Not a con but I'm using this for a single card so I don't know how the unit stands up to constant card swapping.

Overall Review: I use it every day but I actually forgot that it was in there until I saw it again in my "old invoices" listing. That's the way hardware _should_ be. Very happy with it.

Gave new life to a 2007 Core 2 Duo build.

EVGA 01G-P4-2753-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Superclocked 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card
EVGA 01G-P4-2753-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Superclocked 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card

Pros: Quiet. Cool. Short enough to fit into tiny cases. VERY low power. You can drop it into a friend or relative's computer the next time that you upgrade and be a hero.

Cons: Um..... Takes up two slots?

Overall Review: Plays World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 beautifully. I bought this card to revive an OLD Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard with an E6750 with that was purchased in 2007. WoW and D3 are beautiful at 1980x1020 ultra graphics with 1x AA, 4x AS, good shadows, disabled SSAO. Of course you can turn these settings up but at the cost of smooth FPS. I've been um, "testing" it pretty non-stop for about a week now and I haven't had a single problem with it. (I've tried two other PCI Express 3.0 cards with this old beater and had issues with blue-screens. Even with abuse I haven't been able to BSOD this one.) This is going to someone who plays WoW and D3 almost exclusively and with these games I don't even notice any bottle-necking. Sadly, I think it's safe for me to give this PC to it's new owner. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. This little video card changed a seven year old computer from a doorstop to a gaming rig for the price of a couple of games. Not too shabby.

Hohner 81 Pack Pocket Pal Harmonica

Pros: Decent beginner harmonica. Great value for the price. Notes sound fairly even. The plastic carry case has a couple of holes for ventilation, so even that was well thought out. Playing is enjoyable enough that I'm actually hoping that it wears out so that I'll have an excuse to move up to a pricier model. ;)

Cons: "Harpin' It Easy" instructional cassette in the product image is not included. I was actually looking forward to listening to it. Oh well, I was probably the only one...
