Most Critical Review

Dissapointed

DIAMOND VC500 One Touch Video Capture, Edit and Burn to DVD USB 2.0 Adapter
DIAMOND VC500 One Touch Video Capture, Edit and Burn to DVD USB 2.0 Adapter

Pros: It installed easily, thats about it.

Cons: Only works with it's own software. You can't change the resolution, quality, codec etc. Video came out horrible quality (I wasn't expecting AMAZING but my ancient plextor convertx gave better quality than this) with a strange black line on the bottom of my video and a white line at the side. Wouldn't work with Corel Video Studio 12, infact the one touch capture device caused corel to crash. I've tried everything I could think of to fix the problem. Even the software the device is bundled with will NOT work.

Overall Review: Waste of money, really upset and frustrated. Was hoping for a decent replacement from my very old plextor USB capture device. Just could not make this work for me.

ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Easy to install works perfectly so far great crossfire 16x/16x operation for it's price

Cons: does not come with screws for motherboard. not enough 3 pin fan connectors

Evga's mistake

EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-N981-TR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-N981-TR

Pros: Great card, FPS is amazingly high and temp is ok runs from 60(idle)-75(high when running games). Runs crysis on mid high 30-40fps(windows xp) at 1280 x 1024 Warrenty is really good even if you broke the card by OCing, they will still take it. Not bad for what you pay for.

Cons: Had it RMA 3 TIMES! within 6 months. First time my card artifact after a month of running it. The second time my card again artifact( it also looked refurbished not new), its not my psu cause thats a antech 600w. Third time i got a new one and the fan was broken it would not stop at high speed and then it would just not work at all causing my card to get really hot. Finally my 4th card came in new and i'm hoping it survives another 2 years before i replace it.

Overall Review: Evga's RMA is aweful because they'll give you refurbished cards rather then new ones and having to pay 10 bucks each time to send it (a total of 30 bucks wasted), they should really refund you the money. Just becareful on what video card you buy, read as much reviews as possible or you'll end up like me RMAing it 3 times.

AMAZING

EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N975-AR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N975-AR

Pros: THIS CARD CAN EAT ANYTHING IN ITS WAY! it can play far cry 2 by 1280 by 1024 on ultra high and keeps at a 30+ frames to 50+. It also runs fallout 3 on max settings with 40+ frames. it can take on all the latest games on high. haven't tested crysis warhead yet.. i recommend it to anyone who wants to play high end games at a cheap price! this is a huge upgrade from my ATI 9800PRO AGP

Cons: makes a weird spinning noise from time to time. but its no big deal and gets very hot

Overall Review: This thing needs a bigger fan. It is also very long about 9inches or more
