Not bad

Intel BOXD975XBXLKR LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel BOXD975XBXLKR LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Nice layout. Tons of features, yet easy enough for your average newb to set up. Lots of free software. Good passive cooling ( hate more fans ).

Cons: Not really a con. But a disappointment. Still Rev 302. Went from a 3800x2 chip and an @bit board to this board, 3.4ghz dual core and DDR2-800 mushkin stuff. Overall, the 6month old AMD set up was still better for the apps I run ( adobe products, gaming, etc... ).

Overall Review: If you are looking for CONROE support...save the money and wait for a confirmed board.

Very Good

ASUS M50 Series 15.4" Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 4GB Memory DDR2 667 Windows Vista Home Premium
ASUS M50 Series 15.4" Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 4GB Memory DDR2 667 Windows Vista Home Premium

Pros: Great machine, great price. I've had it for a month now, no problems thus far. I spent a good deal of time researching this laptop purchase. For my price range I couldn't find anything better for under 1400 dollars. Very happy with the purchase, using it primarily for graphic work on the go. yay!

Cons: Had to update vista to sp1 before it would read all the ram. Think ASUS would do that for you before they boxed it up. Oh well, the upgrade was free from MS and it DOES read the full 4 gigs now.

Overall Review: The finger print reader took a few days to get used to swiping my finger jussssstt right. Works great once you get used to it. Have not done a whole lot of gaming on it yet. You can't complain about the resolution when it clearly states it's max.

A+

Acer Aspire 15.4" 3200+ 512MB Memory DDR2 533 Windows XP Home LX.ABK05.071
Acer Aspire 15.4" 3200+ 512MB Memory DDR2 533 Windows XP Home LX.ABK05.071

Pros: It's price. Has everything you need for a business/student machine and then some. The antenna inside this thing is amazing!!!! My previous laptop ( a padthink ) normally was stuck on low to very low and it had a Wireless G card in it, this one seems to get twice the signal.

Cons: huh it's 598 dollars????

Overall Review: I wiped the OS as soon as I opened it, stuck XP Pro and another 512 megs of ram. The thing rocks.

Can't Go Wrong

Acer Aspire 15.4" 3200+ 512MB Memory DDR2 533 Windows XP Home LX.ABK05.071

Pros: Cheap I would say " mid level " system. First thing when I got it was reformatted to WinXP Pro, installed all the drivers added 512mbs of Kingston DD2 533ram. Excellet screen, responsive, tons of features. Wireless is very good. The machine overall is quiet.

Cons: It's partion system, just reformat, problem solved.

Overall Review: I love Acer, I would expect to pay twice as much if it had a Deell sticker on it.

Beautiful

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6600
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6600

Pros: I have a 950 3.4 Dual Core and a 4200x2 AMD system. Had to try this bad boy out and let me tell you it is worth every penny. Largest noticable difference in a CPU purchase I've had in a very long time. It beats my older Intel set up by 35% in most situations and beats the AMD set up by 25%. Purely unbelievable. Runs cool. Uses a low amount of juice.

Cons: Not yet!!!

Overall Review: Running this on a ASUS P5N32 SLI board and 2 1 gig Muskin 800mhz DDR2 chips. It is a no brainer purchase.

MSI GeForce 7900GTX 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card NX7900GTX-T2D512E

Pros: Can handle any of todays games with max settings. Including G.R.A.W. Quiet, cool, very overclockable with stock cooling.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Replaced a 7800GT with this bad boy. It's like night and day. Only bought it to handle G.R.A.W. better and man I tell you the game looks sweet on my 24" sony monitor, max settings @ 1900x1200.
