Most Favorable Review

I Have no Complaints, it works.

HP 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model P-FD4GBHP100-EF
HP 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model P-FD4GBHP100-EF

Pros: Easy quick and... it works.

Cons: None that come to mind.

Overall Review: These are much better than the old floppies. CD & DVD RWs were just a pain the **** These are so much more practical and convenient. The best part is... since they are cartridges you can use the as such. Install programs to these and plug them into whatever machine needs it when the program is needed. The cap is a bit malleable and fits tight, but I'm sure it could wear down eventually, but that would be a long time. It has a cut on the bottom of it so you could run a string or wire through it if like.

Most Critical Review

Addictive.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky PC Game
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky PC Game

Pros: It can be fun, the large enviorments are neat.

Cons: I get random framerate stutters no matter how high or low the details are. I think it's a sound conflict.

Overall Review: It's not an RPG, not this version of Stalker. It's more of a straight forward shooter. Honestly if there wasn't any items to search for I wouldn't keep playing it.

I don't recomend this.

Pros: High performance for a fair cost.

Cons: Well... This board has some unacceptable issues within the realm of quality expectations. For one the board causes a boot delay which also delays the signal to the monitor. The fan starts at max speed for some reason. It runs too hot during low perfomance tasks in my opinion. I've done research and found these problems are common.

Overall Review: Even though the board still works these glitches could be symptoms of an inevitable failure. Or maybe it's not 100% compatible with the mainboard. It's one or the other, but at this point it's a question that time will answer. So I recomend another brand or just stay away from this series, because who really wants to thoroughly research something that should just work properly?

Pros: Has been working as expected.

Cons: There isn't anything negative to say about memory that works as it should.

Overall Review: Nothing comes to mind.

D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Desktop PCI Adapter

Pros: It works like a network board should. It's a network board what more should anyone expect?

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I don't remember why I bought this. I assume the onboard network adapter was either inferior, damaged or absent. This board has been in several machines so I feel it's a proven piece of hardware.

Alright for it's price range

BFG Tech GeForce 7300GT 512MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card BFGE73512GT
BFG Tech GeForce 7300GT 512MB GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card BFGE73512GT

Pros: Good for the money. It runs most modern games at normal (medium) setting great. Also handles many of the higher settings flawlessly. Wouldn't expect good things from the games with the overkill graphics. Maximum never looked much better than medium anyway.

Cons: Can't think of any. For what I payed for it it's a great card.

Overall Review: Lifetime Warranty? I doubt it. It's just a sales pitch to get people to buy their brand. I had a BFG 6800 that crapped out due to old age and BFG refused to replace it. They told me using Nvidia drivers voided the warranty even though their drivers come from Nvidia's website because the link to their driver page is linked directly to Nvidia's driver page. Their 6800 didn't last my lifetime and they flat out lied to me to avoid replacing the card. So I wouldn't get all excited simply because they claim lifetime warranty. It's a claim that looks good and sounds good but they don't honor it.
