Most Critical Review

Was highly disappointed

MSI Radeon R5 230 2GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Low Profile Graphics Card R5 230 2GD3H LP
MSI Radeon R5 230 2GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Low Profile Graphics Card R5 230 2GD3H LP

Pros: The card looks well built. AMD Good video quality.

Cons: This card can't support 3 displays like it says on AMD's website.

Overall Review: I have never bought something that did not have reviews before. I thought AMD says it can do 3 monitors so I went for it. Well guess what it can't! I was highly disappointed. The only reason this gets 3 is because other than only supporting 2 monitors its a good card. Hard to say if I will order MSI again this is the 2nd MSI card I have had and both have been a big disappointment to me. Good quality but lacking in the "modern" part. I thought by now 3 monitors on all new Video cards would be standard.

Cheap and works

ASUS Prime B350M-A/CSM AM4 AMD B350 USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX Motherboards - AMD

Pros: I like the Light's, The Size, and most of all the Price.

Cons: Integrated Graphics do not work, and had to get a different PSU.

Overall Review: I experienced what many people are complaining about the lights on the board would light up but no beep codes and it would not POST. I called ASUS and the tech I got put me on hold and went and got the board, a stick of RAM, and a 430 Watt PSU and he was able to duplicate my issue. He said your under powered you need a least a 750 Watt PSU luckily I had a a 750 laying around. Put it in and I got it working. I also had to use a Graphics Card but it worked so I was happy! I am really impressed with this board and the BIOS. I have not updated the BIOS yet but everything seems to be working great!

Exceptional RAM

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBNT
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBNT

Pros: I was very surprised to see what a boost the computers received after installing this RAM. Nice easy install. Incredible Speed!

Cons: I liked and disliked how it was packaged. It was in there good and tight but that made it hard to get out and I am afraid of breaking it. Not really a con but as someone else said in their review its Green and not Blue.

Overall Review: I was having issues in the very 1st computer I tried. A Acer Veriton M460. I thought the RAM was bad but soon found out the computer does not like 4GB of RAM I had someone else look at it and something in the OS is making it very unstable. I tried another Acer Veriton M460 and it worked great! I was amazed when I looked at how well the computer was running! Before the upgrade the computers were doing 100% disk almost constantly making the computer very slow. I was told I had to do something so I decided to go with a RAM upgrade. It was the only option. I had a lot with just 1GB running Windows 8.1 and just a couple running 2GB my first thought was how could 2GB or 3GB make that much of a difference 2GB were running just as bad at 1GB but I was completely shocked at the change. I pulled up Task Manager and saw the hard drive at 100% but the RAM percent was increasing then the hard drive was decreasing rapidly the computer just started having the RAM do all of the work and not the Hard Drive. The computer then ran like a brand new computer! This was my first time working with G.SKILL DDR2 RAM and I am very pleased and will highly recommend!

Really Nice Motherboard!!!

ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: This motherboard went into a Acer Veriton m460. The motherboard I got before was to big I was told it was ATX but it is a Micro ATX case. The reviews on here were 50/50 but I got it and have not regretted it. Acer made it hard for it to work because all of the front connectors are all together but all I need is the power button to work. I don't need bright blue lights to tell me it's on. I put Windows Vista on the computer did not work but reloaded it and worked great!

Cons: A lot of people are complaining about the VGA not working well it is a driver issue. I was working with a VGA screen but then it just stoped. So I went and put it on my HDMI screen and presto it worked and I went to Device manager and sure enough driver issues with the VGA port. There I also found out that it needed USB 3.0 drivers. LAN driver was also needed got them from the asus website put them on the computer in about one min. or less LAN was working then USB 3.0 was next BAM! same thing. But I am not taking off for driver issues. I have another motherboard I am putting in tomorrow. I will keep buying from asus as long they keep making Excellent stuff!

Overall Review: 4GB of G Skill 1866 RAM, AMD FX-6300 Vishera CPU, Corsair 500W PSU, In a Acer Veriton M460 case. I have never seen Vista run so good and fast! I will recommended this board to anyone who needs a reasonably priced system but needs high cost speeds! I even used a 6-7 Year old hard drive! This is just a get on the Internet to do email some stuff for work and the occasional movie kind of computer but I can tell it can handle a whole lot more! Just make sure you have the most current drivers! :)

Loving it!

Pros: This is the tops! I am saving so much time at work now that I have this! I used a toaster like this before and loved it so I order one for work and I have it hooked up with eSATA. I guess the USB port works on it I have not used it. USB is to slow for me. I work for a school district and when I have to do something I have to do it then and now. I love how it has 2 spots for hard drives and they both work perfect!

Cons: NONE!

Overall Review: Don't use USB and eSATA at the same time they will fight on who is going to do what and never stop so that means that your drive(s) will not show up.
