Most Favorable Review

Another amazing experience with NewEgg!

SanDisk 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (MS Pro Duo) Flash Card Model SDMSPD-4096-A11
SanDisk 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo (MS Pro Duo) Flash Card Model SDMSPD-4096-A11

Pros: It's a flash card at a great price. There's nothing exceptional about the product itself, it either works or it doesn't. The price, ease of purchase, speed of delivery, and wonderful support that comes with purchasing it here, on NewEgg, is what matters.

Cons: I didn't upgrade sooner...

Overall Review: I, as a lot of other people on here, purchased this for my w810i. It works flawlessly, storing music, pictures, video, everything... I loaded UBCD (UltimateBootCD) onto it for emergencies. This is a great product, the only reason not to buy it is if your device will support a larger card and you have the money to go that route.

Most Critical Review

Many bugs with this mobo

ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI <GREEN> AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI <GREEN> AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Offers features not commonly found on mATX boards, yet.

Cons: internal HD audio port does not work at all, meaning the front panel of your case will not work. Latest BIOS fixed several of the other issues, such as hanging up if a key was held down.

Overall Review: I wouldn't buy this board again unless I was putting an AM2+ proc. in it.

Works great!

Klipsch Image S4i 3.5mm Connector Canal In-Ear Earphone

Pros: Sound quality is great Canal buds are very comfortable (I use the largest set) Isolation is better than any I've had before* Buttons have great tactile feedback Mic works very well

Cons: On the Nexus One, which it isn't advertised to work with, you cannot use the volume controls or the skip BACK control. Play/pause and skip forward work perfectly. Keep this in mind if you're using an Android OS. The wiring feels really cheap, and is a bit shiny; I prefer matte finish for longevity of appearance and durability.

Overall Review: The wiring feels cheap, but only time will tell. I'm far from an audiophile. I've got about $3k into my desktop, and I have no intention of upgrading the 3.1 speaker system I'm using that came with my very first computer; a Gateway 2000 PII G6 (266MHz!!!). I've Krylon Fusion'ed them in a timeless color, black, but other than that they remain the same. My headsets, prior to this one, were all OEM; the ones that came with my Ericcson w810i were very good, though. From HTC, I get dung. So now I have this wonderful Klipsch S4i headset, and am out more than I've spent on a listening device over the past decade for it. The iPod I was given has sat in a dock for wireless speakers, also a gift, since day one; unless it was attached to an FM transmitter (same gift bag, awesome of them!).

Easy install, works great.

AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HDZ940XCGIBOX
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HDZ940XCGIBOX

Pros: Fast and easy.

Cons: Very inefficient by modern standards.

Overall Review: I hated to purchase another AMD product after their treatment of early Phenom adopters running 64-bit OS's; claiming that x64 was supported when there IS a fatal flaw with the chip. If you tell me it's the OS, you're a troll. AMD's official policy was to say that, but has been proven false by independent testers from the start. However, it was much cheaper to upgrade the processor for this system than start new. As soon as this motherboard requires upgrading, I'll be going to Intel.

Rubbish

AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor
AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor

Pros: Works great in all 32-bit operating systems.

Cons: COMPLETELY incompatible with ALL 64-bit operating systems; personally checked Vista, XP, and a slue of linux kernels. AMD is COMPLETELY aware of the problem, but will not admit it as to prevent refunds to customers. AMD is willing to do that, and willing to have consumers loose use of their processor while it is being "tested" by their lab; which will of course tell you that it's working fine, and that the OS is to blame.

Overall Review: I've been a fan of AMD for their economy of speed for a long time, but not at the new price that includes such business practices. Happily, I helped cost them a two year contract with a local firm of which a group of friends are at various levels of management. Intel may be over priced, but as long as the driving force at AMD remains the same, I'll pay whatever it takes.
