Most Favorable Review

Good Value

Rosewill Model RC-100 - Low-Profile PCI to 2 + 1 USB 2.0 Card

Pros: Needed extra USB ports on older XP homemade system. The USB 2.0 ports on this card work great so far!

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Good Enough

JetWay JM26GT4-A-LF AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA NF6100-430 (MCP61P) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Worked well to upgrade from old m-board that started to have errors. No problems with using IDE for old harddive with XP.

Cons: The built in LAN would conflict with the USB and crash the system. Just turned the onboard LAN off and popped in the old card and was running. Had to dock two eggs for that.

Exceeds Our Needs

Pros: Fast Value

Cons: None

Overall Review: Works great as the only memory stick in a low power AM1 family computing system with Windows 7 OS.

Very Satisfied

Pros: Great value for quad APU and low power consumption.

Cons: Only that the first of three that I have now arrived with only one heat sink mounting post. Initial Newegg representative extremely unknowledgeable and of little help. Actually wanted to verify that the AM1+ was supposed to come with two mounting posts. Was a weekend call, so I suppose there is some lacking of technical expertise during this time. Called back Monday and Newegg RMA service rep fixed everything and I got a good one.

Very Satisfied

MSI AM1I AM1 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard
MSI AM1I AM1 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Small size and great value.

Cons: Must be carefully applying pressure to install memory and APU heat sink since PCB bows quite a bit. Not sure if it's typical for all mini ITX M-boards.

Overall Review: Ordered two of these with AMD Athlon 5350 APUs a few months apart for my kids' computer needs. With Windows 7 OS, these work extremely efficient! I would highly recommend.
