Awesome memory, popped it in and go!

G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B
G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B

Pros: I used to have a 2gb G. Skill kit and I felt I needed to upgrade to a 4gb gaming kit. I saw the beautiful heatspreaders they're great for dissipating the heat away. Makes sense since the fans wisk the heat away. I popped in the 4096mb of ram and it automatically detected it at 4-4-4-12 timings at 1.9v I believe... I didn't even to do it. My ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard accepted it so if you have that motherboard get this memory. Great memory haven't gamed on it yet but so far so good. Will probably do a follow up review once I get my 9800gtx+ card from eVGA RMA.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: None.

Pros: This motherboard is amazing for the price, it brings dual gigabit ethernet lan ports, it has everything you would need and could want at such an affordable price!

Cons: The only con (this is to most mobo makers) is that you need to put more USB ports in the back panel like you used to do back in the day!

Overall Review: This review for ASRock review rebate program

WOW! Except one thing. But BEST LGA 775 motherboard!

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: BEST MOTHERBOARD I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. It's so solid, the rigidity is great. The northbridge heatsink is attached to a backplate, so you won't have any overheating chips on your motherboard. It's SUPER Stable and VERY energy efficient. I shaved off 20-50 watts with this motherboard. REALLY good overclocker. Default voltage core on a q6600 and got it from 2.4 to 3.2ghz using 8x multiplier and 400FSB so I got a 1600FSB..Amazing. VERY good onboard sound and I put windows 7, it's so good. I can say this is the best LGA 775 motherboard out there. It's really solid for a really cheap price. EIGHT usb. count that, EIGHT usb, no more need for a usb hub. My old mobo only had 4 and I needed more so 8 is a GOOD deal. I would recommend this to ANYONE needing a SOLID 775 board. Does ALL the way DOWN to Celeron/Pentium all the way up to the new 45nm Wolfdale, and Clarkdale. It will do q9550 and e8600 flawlessly. I made my q6600 last longer on this. I7 is way too much money, so ge

Cons: Sometimes when you do a bad overclock, it would randomly reboot and it would require a hard power down and a hard power up but it would say "Failed and due to overclocking settings were bad." The CMOS Battery is in a REALLY bad location, underneath the top video card slot, if you have a SINGLE slot your good. But since MOST people have DUAL video card slot video cards, your video card blocks it off. You don't really need to reset the CMOS, the BIOS has "Load Fail-Safe Defaults" and "Load Optimized Defaults." That gets it to normal again. I think it has BIOS profiles when you reset your CMOS.

Overall Review: I had the error 10 LAN error, and a BIOS problem with overclocking, they need to fix those two things, and move the CMOS battery and it will be FLAWLESS.

These speakers are amazing..The sub is just ASTOUNDING!

Pros: Outstanding quality in games. The THX mode makes games sound so real the bass and quality is outstanding this has one of the best movie like bass ever...The music can go really loud I recommend this... Music is pretty good too but it's better in games.

Cons: I wish the trebles were a bit higher on the two satellites :/

Overall Review: These are one of the best speakers I paid for.

Great Game!!! AWESOME!

Pros: Great game...Amazing Storyline..Fluid gameplay...AMAZING HD GRAPHICS....Plays well is very fun...Recommend as a first game....Multiplayer is good.

Cons: Doesn't install FULL game to the hard drive like it does on the 360...Blu ray drive read is slow sine it's new technology...I know NEWER ps3 games install the FULL game to the hard drive and also the online is kind of hard...It's free and it can go up to 40 with a Free For All One Shot Kill Deathmatch...Which is fun but it's hard to kill people...Oh well...Nothing is perfect.

Overall Review: None
