Adding to the 5 eggs.
Pros: Low power: dont need molex connection, ZERO problems. I play my Wolf ET at max settings without a single hiccup. I've been using this 750 Ti since Apr 2014, it's been a year and it's been performing like how it's supposed to: 0 problems. Looking back at this card, I can see all the 5 egg ratings and I wanted to be another user to add a 5 egg rating. Good job eVGA. I can confidently recommend this card along with all the other 5 egg users (look at the amazing overall rating of this card!!)
Cons: It's not silent, but the fan "noise" is BARELY noticeable over my Corsair 430w PSU. I'm not docking any points for this. And that's if I had to find a problem with this card which I am having a hard time doing.
Overall Review: My previous card was a HIS Radeon 7750 which i had to RMA twice so the 3 7750s I used all had problems; i finally gave up on it as a loss. Although HIS was helpful each time, my PC just wouldnt agree w/ the 7750s and it was unnecessary waits and I had to pay for shipping each time. Prior to that, was a Zotac GT 640 which also worked flawlessly but I craved higher settings. Thanks Newegg, Thanks eVGA.
not recommended
Pros: Stainless Steel inner pot
Cons: Stopped working after 6 months.
Overall Review: HOW does a rice cooker fail after 6 months? It's just a heating element right? This Made in China pot manages to do so. I thought about steering away from expensive Made in Japanese pots but it looks like the Japanese are the only ones who can make long lasting rice cookers. I threw away my 15 year-old Japanese rice cooker too early, thinking this Tatung would last the same; I was so wrong.
basic. works.
Pros: Cheap and does it's job perfectly. Comes with screws too!
Cons: none.
Overall Review: I was worried about other reviews saying improper locations of the holes but I had no problems installing my Samsung 830 SSD into my ASUS factory PC.
NO free ground loop isolator
Pros: -pairs instantly every time you turn on your car -controls music by pause, skip, reverse on remote (works well on my blackberry curve 8900) -hear your conversation via your car speakers (mic is on the front of the unit) -recharge your phone via USB port (if your phone has that cable) -plug in and forget, no need to recharge or turn on anything. Once it's plugged in, it's auto-on (there's an off button if you prefer)
Cons: lots of cons make this unit a failure. -static, buzzing and whirring engine noise is very loud on the AUX in port. Kensington's website claims to give you a "free" ground loop isolator if you call but it turns out this product doesnt qualify for it. the tech support said "this isnt compatible. It's only for the LiquidAUX wireless. you can return it to your vendor" -wireless remote doesnt always work. many people say it needs to be re-sync'ed every time. try doing THAT while you're driving. -there is almost NO bass when i play my music via stereo bluetooth. i'm not sure if it's my blackberry or the liquidAux but it plays fine if i didnt use the liquidAux. -the mic on the unit is poor quality so you may need to repeat yourself a few times during a call. big difference in quality from a regular bluetooth headset. imagine a lot of wind noise even when your windows are closed.
Overall Review: i'd probablyget this if it was very cheap, otherwise, it's not a good option. it's REALLY too bad Kensington didnt perfect this device, because if they did, it would have been heaven. If this unit worked better, it would have been the same as the HandsFreeLink found in luxury cars.
good ram, not great.
Pros: 2gigs is a nice upgrade from 768mb. Nice looking heatsink.
Cons: DDR ram still expensive compared to DDR2. The 2gig upgrade didnt give me any spectacular experience from my previous 768mb on my Chaintech SKT600 mobo. The labeled RAM timing 2.5-3-3-6 doesnt boot the pc at all (had to set mobo to automatic detection). The heatsinks are thick, considering how I couldnt overclock the RAM, I think the chips would breathe better withOUT them!
Overall Review: My previous setup with 768mb of DDR266 Crucial ram allowed me to overclock my bus to 140Mhz. This G.Skill ram didnt let me go over 1 Mhz. I think I'll choose Crucial again next time.
compatible with dell 2005FPW
Pros: -newegg reliability -fully compatible w/ dell's 2005FPW -128 bit interface -128mb RAM -very smooth 1600x1200 res on Wolf ET (2200+, 768mb, 160gig) -PRICE: very decent gaming card if you dont need top of the line hardware
Cons: The drivers on the CD dont work. dont even try to install it. It was meant to be a joke. Funny right? Their software distribution guy must have been some comedian reject. Just download the latest catalyst drivers from ATi's website and you're good to go. It's not really a con, cuz this way you're really getting the latest drivers. I guess it would just have been better if they replaced the CD driver disc with a big paper that said "Please download latest drivers from ATi's website."
Overall Review: My main goal was to pick up an inexpensive video card that would support the 1680x1050 res on dad's new 20" widescreen for his daily online tasks- and I achieved that. He doesnt game but I do, so I plugged it into my PC and put it up against my radeon 9600. 3D performance was virtually identical. Only dif was my 9600 didnt require a fan, the 9550 did. The 9550's fan noise is almost inaudible but nothing beats passive cooling. I think the other dude must have gotten a defective board cuz the amigo 9550 i got was a standard 6 layer PCB, so it was the same thickness as all my other video cards. It plugged into my Chaintech AGP slot and my dad's FIC AGP slot as normal and without any errors. I'd recommend this video card to anyone on a budget without a hitch, especially if you're running cheesy onboard based graphics. You'll definitely see 3D improvement.
