How Can You Complain

Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP2
Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP2

Pros: Works most of the time and I only have to reinstall it when every 2 months.

Cons: Takes forever to install, even on dual core at 3.8 Ghz. with RAID 0 array.

Overall Review: If Lxxxx is better, then why would people pay hundreds of dollars instead of using Lxxxx for free. I'm a computer engineer and I'd rather use Windows because it save time that I get to spend with my kids or on hobbies or whatever.

Most Critical Review

Bought 2 so far, I worked.

ASUS P5LD2 Deluxe LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I came to read reviews to find others, review before me says it all. If I were to have written it myself I would say the same exact thing. It just shuts down when I try to play 3D games or any type of media.

Cons: Cons are that I will have to pay shipping and wait because Asus obviously is putting out a huge batch of bad boards.

Overall Review: I am running Pentium D 945, Sapphire Radian X1600XT, Windows XP Pro, SATA 3.0 Gb/s drives, and have updated bios and all drivers to current versions.

Good Drives

Pros: Put 2 in a RAID 0 array and it rocks.

Cons: None Yet.

Overall Review: I'm still hungry. I'm gonna make a sandwich now.

Good Disks

This is an amazing power supply

Comments: I needed a good powere supply to run my dual xeon workstation and after looking around, alot, I landed on this. It looks good, sounds really quiet, is really efficient, and you can't find one with better tolerances. For aroung a hundred bucks, you can't go wrong. Newegg was too fast getting it here, I had to look at it for a week waiting for the rest of my parts from all over the web. Newegg rocks.
