Pros: price!! was pleased at how well this handled xp with 1.4 celeron and 512 of ram performs basic tasks well and is stable underload for long periods of time i have 4 other laptops that are faster but they also cost two to 4 times more

Cons: copys cds slow about 7 to 8 minutes, no dvd burner but does everthing else well

Overall Review: for the price a great laptop for checking email and performing office tasks and surfing the web glad to find one with xp

Pros: 03/05@1024X768 - 3DMARK06@1280X1024 INSTALLED 9.3 XP HOTFIX DRIVER- no problems CRYSIS@1024X768 med with volumetric,physics, & water set to low avg. 25-35fps dips to 18 at game saves looks good and very playable COD WAW@1024x768 avg. 20-25 set advanced to bilinear and low through Semper Fi playable COD4@1024X768 avg. 30-40 set advanced to bilinear and low through ACT II very playable GRID@800X600 low avg. 23-27 very playable idle @ 47c load never went past 60c after benmarking and gaming for 12 hours fan stays around 37% even at idle with 80mm fan blowing right on card on a good 350watt power supply

Cons: I expected more out of this card- performs closer to 2600 pro nowhere near 2600xt performance which is what I was expecting or mislead to believe from other reviews. If i had a do-over would spend a little extra for 2600xt gddr3,1950xt or 3850 Can't overclock with ati tool- Riv_Tuner v2.24 will work though but you lose the 2d underclock and temps shoot up 12c@idle putting it a 60c at idle with fan blowing right on card will oc to 800/450 no problem just to warm for me and fan kicks up to 50% at this speed _=A

Overall Review: Plays the games well and they do look better than the unlocked 6800xe that it replaced doesn't game as well as my gaming rig but is still very playable and enjoyable to play newer games on my kid love it and I got two hugs and alot of thank you dad to boot but it does bottleneck the 3.4c

Pros: seems to be a fast good drive good match for the build and quad core 3.2 have not ran many read/write tests drive is quite

Cons: none

Overall Review: will continue to use this drive until ssd drives are comparable in price

Pros: great mobo good overclocker able to unlock cores i have a 3 core cpu unlocked to 4 and running cool at 3.2 ghz what is not to like

Cons: realtemp and coretemp will not work when core is unlocked but asus already had that figured out and there asus temp probe works so not really a con

Overall Review: will buy again and use for other builds

Pros: feel and backlite customer support number for saitek disconnected will try email and give feed back

Cons: paint wearing of keys not the same quality of two blue lite ones i have

Overall Review: been gaming with eclipse blue for almost three yrs no problem and another blue for almost 2 the red is used for work and not even close to the amount of use paint would be plum wore out if used for gaming

Pros: able to unlock 4 core and overclock to 3.2 on stock voltage prime 95 stable idle temps 36 c load never went past 63 c on 20 dollar aftermarket cooler

Cons: none

Overall Review: could not unlock extra cache
