SUPER TALENT 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model X32PB1GC
SUPER TALENT 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model X32PB1GC

Pros: I previously had 512mb. Got two of these kits to have 2gb. It made a big difference.

Cons: Nothing wrong with this ram, but because I'm an idiot and didn't do research i had 2 cons: #1 4x512 meant 2t timings for me (little con, 2t doesn't really slow it that much) #2 This ram is double sided so 4x512 meant 333mhz for me. (this is the big con, because it slows it down a lot)

Overall Review: There is nothing wrong with this memory, it works well. It just didn't work well because of the CPU i have. I have a socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 3700+. When using 4x512 it would run at 333mhz instead of 400mhz. Don't be a dummy like me. Get 2x1gb so you can run it at full speed.

little usb thing :)

Patriot Xporter Mini 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model PSF8GMUSB
Patriot Xporter Mini 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model PSF8GMUSB

Pros: It works great. It's fast. It's cheap.

Cons: It's TINY. I didn't think it would be so small. Already lost the rubber cap ;/.

Overall Review: This is the first usb flash drive i have and i love it. I used to use my ipod to transfer stuff around :p. This blows it away in terms of speed. I'm really happy with it.

usb to ps/2 adapter review

SABRENT Model SBT-PS2U USB to PS/2 (Dual PS/2) Converter Adapter Cable
SABRENT Model SBT-PS2U USB to PS/2 (Dual PS/2) Converter Adapter Cable

Pros: Worked with my Sun Blade 2000 directly connected to keyboard and mouse and through a kvm. Worked with my PowerMac G4 connected directly to keyboard and mouse. The keyboard worked on my HP Visualize J5600. Cheap

Cons: The mouse didn't work with my HP Visualize J5600. Only the mouse worked on my Powermac G4 when connected through kvm.

Overall Review: I had low expectations for this adapter because of it price. It surprised me when it worked with the sb2000. I tried it with my PowerMac G4 and only the mouse worked when connected to a kvm. I thought my kvm was to blame because it worked with my sb2000, so i connected the kb/m directly to the adapter and they both worked. They kvm i use on those computers is an old belkin f1d104-osd. I had the buy a special adapter from belkin (F5U119, more $$$ surprise)for it to work through that kvm. Again, if you connect the adapter to your g4 and then the kb/m it will work :). The opposite thing happened with my J5600, only the keyboard worked. For both the keyboard and mouse to work i had to get part number A7782A from HP. I had problems with my kvm's and weird unix machine not with these adapters.

Belkin kvm cables

BELKIN 6 ft. OmniView E Series PS/2 KVM Cables F1D9000-06
BELKIN 6 ft. OmniView E Series PS/2 KVM Cables F1D9000-06

Pros: They work well. No ghosting like the previous cables i had.

Cons: Price. I don't need the keyboard and mouse cables, i wish they sold a slightly cheaper version with just the video cable.

Overall Review: I had some skimpy video cables from my kvm switch before i got these cables. I had ghosting. The ghosting was gone after replacing them.

BELKIN F8E208-BLK Black 107 Normal Keys PS/2 Wired Ergonomic ErgoBoard Keyboard
BELKIN F8E208-BLK Black 107 Normal Keys PS/2 Wired Ergonomic ErgoBoard Keyboard

Pros: It's cheap and it beats the hell out of the ergo 4000 i had. It's got the number 6 on the right side. no pressing bs flock key like on my previous keybard price. I bought 2 for what i paid for my ex. I know this is pretty vague, but it feels really solid to me.

Cons: nothing

Overall Review: I had to dump my ergo 4000 because it wouldn't work with usb to ps2 adapter. This one happily works with my kvm and the computers attached to it. I lauged when i read the box. It says it's silent, but it really isn't. I love that about it though, i like the way it sounds. The keys feel great, i really can't explain it. The split space bar feels good when playing games. It takes time to get used to having the 6 on the right side ( where it's supposed to be).
