Pros: Solid board. Easy to use features. Easy install.

Cons: The ram slots could be a little further from CPU socket to accommodate aftermarket cooling.

Overall Review: Good all round board so far.

disappointing

TP-LINK TL-WN851ND Wireless N Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n 32-bit PCI Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
TP-LINK TL-WN851ND Wireless N Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n 32-bit PCI Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: It makes a wireless connection, easy install.

Cons: I set up my new rig in my basement, in a room just below my home office where my router lives. The signal strength reads about 32%. I see speeds of 1 or 2 MBPS with this card and my D-Link DIR-835. The computer is only 15' away from the router if that and there are only floor joists and hardwood separating them.

Overall Review: I could see this card preforming well if it had to bridge a distance that a store bought Ethernet cable would be easy to implement.

Garbage
