Pros: OEM, Quality at a better price. meets expectations. Have had many SB sound cards and never have I been disappointed. It is truly a quality built PCB with options I can use. Matched with a Z906 speaker set the sound is a like theater experience. OEM and it comes with a driver disc, many others would not.

Cons: I have started to type stuff here, but, nothing is really a con for me

Pros: 1600, for a HTPC works for me, and to and a drive at will, save a drive dedicated for one op like Blu-ray another for gaming, one for an office program, what, pull them up one at a time or unlock the ram and run two, ( I have not done this, but I think it would be possible, like office and a media player (streaming). Awesome Ram! I want to build another rig just so I can buy more .

Cons: Have none, don't really think ones gonna pop up either.

Overall Review: Once installed I followed the directions @ "radeonmemory.com" gives you the option to just get the 6g;s for free or spend 17 bucks for a full 32, I don't have 32g's today, but that's today. Because this is a HTPC box I don't see the need to push the voltages or the clocks, I need it to run long and steady, we will see as time is reveled. the Box Silverstone GD05B Corsair RM 650 MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 Athlon X2 370 K Richland @4.0 16g Radeon Ramdisc 1600 2X8 Vapor-X R9 270 SB-Z 5.1 (oem) LG BD/DVD UH12NS30 (oem) OCZ Vertex 4 128g, (recertified) 2 Noctua NF-R8 PWM fans TREDnet TEW-649UB wireless N adapter all purchased here at the Wonderful Egg!
