Most Critical Review

I might have gotten the bad one of the pack

Intel 320 Series 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSA2CW080G310
Intel 320 Series 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSA2CW080G310

Pros: Fast

Cons: constant freezing, random lockups, BSOD a couple of times

Overall Review: I bought this drive after reading the reviews online & Newegg, since it is an Intel I had high hopes. Unfortunately since day one I was having random freezing and it would last about a full minute before the computer got responsive. After about six months the freezing got more frequent, got BSOD, and now the computer locks up all together and I have to manually shut down the system and back on. Troubleshooting: Latest SSD firmware installed. I reinstalled the OS, replaced the system memory with another brand, removed all peripherals, (including other drives), still has the same problem. I removed the SSD, installed the OS on a regular HDD and the computer didn't lockup. Put back the SSD with another fresh OS install and the freezing problem reoccurred. Put SSD drive on another computer and froze that computer also. The last straw was when it locked up in the middle of a WOW raid. Going to run diagnostics and call Intel with the error code to get it repaired or replaced.

Almost 10 years of ownership and still going strong!

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750

Pros: This has got to be by far the best processor I've owned. It has surpassed the test of time, overclocking, absolute 24-7 abuse, and it is still running like it did when I pulled it out of the box. I expect to keep giving it more use until it is completely useless because of being obsolete.

Cons: Compared to modern processors, this one is power hungry, but that comes with the territory.

Overall Review: This processor has surpassed the life of a couple of motherboards and CPU fans.

Great game!

Doom 3: BFG Edition PC Game
Doom 3: BFG Edition PC Game

Pros: The fun of Doom 3, but with cool extras like SLI multi monitor and 3d support. The added bonus games like doom1 and doom2 are cool too. All new lost levels!

Cons: bugs found with the older doom version where the screen is inverted, however I am sure a patch will take care of that.

Overall Review: This is essentially the same version as the original doom 3 but with modern graphics and features.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: buy it, you wont regret it.
