Amazing Product

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R487-512H-B
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R487-512H-B

Pros: Wow. All I can say is wow. I went from an HD4850 Crossfire setup to two of these HD4870's and I'm glad I did. My frames have increased by at least 50%. The price for these cards is just gorgeous. I got them when they were $249.99 with the $40.00 Mail in rebate and free shipping. That price makes it a steal. Make the splurge, put in the extra $100 now and get back $40 in a few months and get a card that's a ton better than that HD4850 or 9800GTX+. This thing also mops the floor with the GT260, 216 Shader cores and all.

Cons: Pink? C'mon. Isn't there another color you could have gone with? Oh well, I guess I can relish in the thought of pwning someone who just made fun of my pink cards. Oh, these cards do get a little toasty, and thus you must run the fan speed up. The fans are a little on the noisy side, but isn't that why they have a volume nob on your speakers/headphones?

Overall Review: Thank you Newegg. Ordered this thing on Tuesday, got to me Wednesday. And that was free shipping, too! Thank you Gigabyte for putting such an amazing price tag on a beautiful piece of computer hardware. I guess you could say I'm "egg"sessive =)

Awesome card

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100259L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100259L

Pros: -Extremely fast card -Great cooler, keeps temps well under reference board cooler -Nothing better in price range

Cons: -This is a pretty long card -Requires a lot of power

Overall Review: You will not see a substantial difference between this and the 1GB version at resolutions under 1920x1200(or 1080p if you're using an HDTV). I would save the extra money and save it towards buying Christmas gifts.

An OC Classic

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M

Pros: This thing is unbelievable. Just running it at stock speed it's very fast, blowing my Athlon 64 X2 5000 BE @ 3.2GHz out of the water. I was able to get a 24/7 OC on this beast at 3.6 GHz(9x400). I don't run it at this speed as it was getting kind of high voltage wise, I'm jsut running it at 3.0 GHz(9x333). If you're looking at this, buy it. You won't regret it.

Cons: It can't walk my dog and take out the trash for me. Just wait another 20 years and we might be seeing this.

Overall Review: Thank you intel. You've brought me back to the blue.

Awesome Memory

OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR800C44GK

Pros: Very nice, quality memory. I haven't had any problems with the memory since I've put it in a month ago.

Cons: Heat sinks are very large. I would check your clearance before you buy this and install it.

Overall Review: It's very nice memory. I would suggest it to anyone. The MIR was another plus.

Bang for your buck

Acer 22" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA LCD Monitor with HDCP support 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D AL2216Wbd

Pros: This is a very nice monitor. The screen is anti-glare and is very easy to look at. No dead pixels anywhere. The mount feels sturdy with metal reinforcement in it; clicked right into place with very little effort. Best bang for your buck in the 22" market, but that's not saying there aren't better monitors.

Cons: No tilt on the stand.

Overall Review: The driver CD for me was a waste of time. Vista found it and installed the correct drivers before I was able to stick in the CD. Thank you newegg for the free shipping and having such a great service. Buy this monitor if you're debating, you won't be wasting your money at all.

No troubles, awesome product

Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2B for System Builders 1 Pack
Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2B for System Builders 1 Pack

Pros: This was a very easy install. Basically installs itself. Click the next button, type in your account name, and you're pretty much done. Very stable OS, and with XP support extended until 2014, it's my first choice for an OS.

Cons: I didn't get a golden ticket :(

Overall Review: Every time I order from Newegg, the order processing is always quick. They have many times got my order shipped by the afternoon if I ordered that morning. Thanks Newegg for such a great service.
