Most Favorable Review

Lots of bucks, Little bang

EVGA 01G-P3-1282-AR GeForce GTX 280 SuperClocked Edition 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 01G-P3-1282-AR GeForce GTX 280 SuperClocked Edition 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Easy install.

Cons: Not noticibly faster than the 8800 GTX that it replaced. On FSX, the frame rates remained about the same, between 9 and 25 fps. I never saw anything above 25 fps. I read a review were someone was reporting 44 fps. That didn't happen with me.

Most Critical Review

Multiple Problems

ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe/HDMI AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It worked well with XP, kinda well with Vista, not so good with Win 7

Cons: No updates for Windows 7. Express Gate stopped working after bios update 2101; Chipset kept all four cores of my CPU running at 75+ % even when NO programs were running

Overall Review: To fix the CPU problem after updating the chipset, I had to install Win XP, then install the chipset that came in the box with the motherboard (wouldn't install with either Vista or Win 7!). I then reinstalled Win 7, and it now runs correctly. The Express Gate installer keeps giving me a msg that it doesn't work with "this" operating system (both Vista and Win 7). The latest Bios (2704) was suppose to fix Express Gate, but didn't do anything for my system. It still doiesn't work. It shows up once, but then stops. I would suggest that prior to purchasing this board that you go to the ASUS site and look at the owners page for all the problems it has had.

Works Great!!

Pros: Installed it in my EVGA E767 SLI motherboard. Works great! Instantly recognized it. Changed the timings and voltage in the Bios to match this memories timing and voltage. (9-9-9-24 & 1.5mv)

Cons: None

Overall Review: Highly recommended. I have 3 more empty slots that I will fill with this RAM.

B stock

EVGA 131-GT-E767-RX LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 131-GT-E767-RX LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This is an EVGA b-stock board. Works great. Been installed for about 2 months and everything is going smooth.

Cons: Could of got it cheaper had EVGA had it in stock when I needed this particular board. Removed a star because of that.

Overall Review: This board has all the bells and whistles (i think) for an X58 board. Why pay more. I have a Toshiba Notebook 3.0 USB running on the boards 3.0 slot. I have two SSD drives running 6 gbs SATA. Easy install...ran first time it was booted up.
