Great Alterative to VMware or VPC

Pros: Parallels is a similar software to VMware workstation and features more robust features than Windows VPC. For the price you get many benefits: Ability to run x64 guest systems, support for BSD, Linux, and with some tweaking iatkos-v7. Software will run on both Windows or Linux. Can convert PTV, VMware, Windows VPC. Also has XP mode like ability's.
Cons: Requires VT or AMD-V. Will not work with many Intel Core 2 chips which do not have the VT technology implemented. This will not be an issue if you use anything AMD other than Sempron series.
Overall Review: I have been using Windows VPC simply because I did not want to put out the money for VMware. For $39.00 you cant beat this deal! If you running a Windows SKU below Professional and want to be able to use VPC's than this is for you!
Stay Clear

Pros: Its small
Cons: Was not able to pick up any channels using this. My old RCA rabbit ears antenna gets almost all of the channels including the free HD channels. (NBC, FOX, PBC, ..ect)
Overall Review: I was trying to get rid of the ugly RCA antenna but it look like I will be keeping it for a while.
Stay Away

Pros: It look nice on the outside
Cons: A few major issues with the design of this case: 1) it is very cramped for a full size 4U board. 2) The hard drive mounting system is painful, the drive mounting system reaches over the motherboard components making it impossible to utilize all the drive internal drive bays. 3) the internal drive cage uses a very non ergonomic mounting system which touches the motherboard!
Overall Review: I also had an issue with this case as it was not grounded properly and made my server board randomly blank screen and not post. After moving the system into a different case, all the same components, it worked great. Past return date otherwise this case would be RMAed!
Errors

Pros: None.
Cons: Could not get these to work when installed together. Would sometimes start with one installed at a time and other times I would get beep errors. Tried them one at a time in a second PC. Would not start, got beep errors from both.
Overall Review: Used all proper procedures aka anti static strap, anti static matte. Have been building PC for many years and this is the second time a corsair product has failed on me. Will probably not recommend a corsair product again. Total waist of return shipping cost. Return Shipping cost 25% of the total price.
Outperforms the listed specs

Pros: This thermal compound worked very well for my AMD II 940 x4. Viscosity of this past seems more liquid than those of other barns ,including Arctic Silver 5. I am shocked to find the Rosewill past is outperforming the Arctic Silver 5. (see other thoughts)
Cons: The applicator is acceptable but not great, the brush and handle are to soft. Because of the type of container it is important to mix the past to achieve maximum results. This past may need time to cure.
Overall Review: I was using Arctic Sliver 5 before using the Rosewill RCX-TC060 past. Contrary to the specs of Arctic Sliver vs Rosewill past, the Roswill seems to be out performing the Arctic. I was running at ~40c with the Arctic Sliver, after applying the Rosewill product my temps have dropped. Day 1 I was running at the same temps ~40c, Day 2 my temps dropped by ~2c, Day 3 my temp are now at ~36c. I think the viscosity of this past may give it an advantage.
Worked With Charter

Pros: Plugged it into the cable and connected in 30 sec. Had to register it with the charter then reset the unit. Everything worked out of box.
Cons: NONE
Overall Review: No more $5 lease fee on one of charters cable modems. Make sure you know your OLD modems MAC address. Normally on bottom of unit. With charter cable modems you can go to 192.168.10.100 to access the info page. Make sure when you reset the modem after registering it with your ISP; you also reset your router!
