Pros: Works beautifully under linux. WoW looks great. I'm hoping the guys over at Winex get Vanguard working soon. I'd love to try that out on this card.

Cons: no

Most Critical Review

don't buy this

D-Link DIR-515 Wireless N 300 Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11n/g
D-Link DIR-515 Wireless N 300 Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11n/g

Pros: I know you want to. It's twenty bucks. Don't do it. Think about the future. Think about the children. Do you want to hear them saying "Dad the internet isn't working" every few hours? You don't want that. Do you want to be the one walking them through rebooting the router over the phone because Ninjago isn't working on the iPad? Don't do it.

Cons: I see your mind. You want to buy it. You want to believe everyone else is just a victim of pebkac. You want to believe that no reputable company would knowingly sell a device that clearly has fundamental issues. You are wrong. Turn back now.

Overall Review: I was once like you.

Video is great, sound is annoying

EVGA 02G-P4-3751-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card
EVGA 02G-P4-3751-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card

Pros: I am running this with windows 8 in an intel machine. The video is great.

Cons: When the computer goes to sleep or sometimes when the TV is turned off, the computer can no longer detect the audio from the TV. The only solution is to restart the computer. It would be nice if the drivers allowed the audio to be re-detected. Feels like a lame bug to have on such a high-end card.

great tv great price

Pros: I have had this tv for almost a year now (bought in october of '08). The picture quality is great, and I run the sound through a home theater system (as should everyone). I've got a ps3 and a pc hooked up to it using hdmi. 1080p is awesome. I have 0 complaints. So the remote is a little off, but I don't really use it since there's no need.

Cons: none

great little pc

Pros: I'm writing this review from my eee. It is an awesome little machine. I had starcraft running under wine within 24 hours of receiving it. Right now I am streaming videos from launch.yahoo.com in a hotel on a wireless connection while writing this. I love the functionality. I have installed vpnc and gnome-terminal after adding a debian repository to apt. I have everything I need to do work, it plays music and all my videos with no problem, and it runs games.

Cons: No complaints, it's great. I should mention that I find the remarks by other people amusing. "the screen is small" um duh? "the keyboard is tiny" once again, duh. "only 4 gigs of space" what is your point? "i don't like linux" then why would you buy the one that runs linux? they sell these things with windows on them too.

Overall Review: Thanks Asus for another quality product. It's surprisingly rare to find new technology that truly does what you need.

works with linux

EDIMAX EW-7128G Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
EDIMAX EW-7128G Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: This card is great. I only purchase products that work with Linux since that is all I run at home. This card works great. I put it in a box running CENTOS 5. The drivers on the disk didn't work because they were compiled for an older kernel. I downloaded the source code from the company's website and followed the instructions. It was just a simple configure, make all, make install and then configure the card. Like most wireless devices this one loads firmware. Be sure to fill in the appropriate lines in the .dat config file and you should be fine.

Cons: nothing, the card works great at wireless g speeds 2 walls separated from the wireless access point
