Runs good

ECS Goal3+Athlon64 3200 AMD Athlon64 3200+ 754 SiS 761 GX Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU/CPU Fan/Memory Combo

Pros: Good speed. Did not try to OC. XPsp2 works well. Used included memory with another stick of 512mb for 1gb total. 350 watt PS is OK. Good manual for a change.

Cons: NOTICE: 1. WILL NOT WORK WITH DDR 400. 2. HAD TO USE 1 GB OF RAM TO PLAY A DVD-ROM WITHOUT SKIPPING. 3. TOOK SOME TIME TO GET AUDIO DRIVER TO WORK.

Overall Review: ORDER A EXTRA STICK OF 512 MB, DDR 333 RAM WHEN YOU BUY THIS.

NIC is DOA - No trust in RMA

TRENDnet TE100-PCIWN Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45
TRENDnet TE100-PCIWN Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45

Pros: None for this model NIC

Cons: DOA- what could be worse?

Overall Review: I have a bad feeling about this RMA process. Jump hoops and NO RESULTS!

ALWAYS PLUG AND PLAY - NO WORRIES

D-Link DFE-530TX+ Fast Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45
D-Link DFE-530TX+ Fast Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45

Pros: ALWAYS WORKS WHEN YOU NEED TO BE ONLINE YESTERDAY. PLUG & PLAY.

Cons: NONE.

Overall Review: PURCHASED SEVERAL AND THEY WORK IN ALL BRANDS OF PC. THE BEST OF THE REST. NEVER HAD A DOA. OK , D-LINK, YOU CAN SEND ME A COMPLIMENTARY ONE NOW. lol

No more of these, please.

TRENDnet TE100-PCIWN Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45
TRENDnet TE100-PCIWN Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45

Pros: These, like the Azio NICs, do not work in all the various desktops I have tried them in.

Cons: I returned the NIC to Trendnet and they say it is OK. The one they returned does not work either. No manufacturer refunds too.

Overall Review: We must be getting some Chinese junk. QC is not on the job or the new boards just do not work with 4 year old PCs.

No more of these, please

AZiO AES100a Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45
AZiO AES100a Ethernet Adapter 10/100Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45

Pros: The first couple of these I purchased worked OK, plug and play.

Cons: Now, they dont work at all. Not in my Dells or a Gateway or a HP desktop either. A big zero. And I sent them back to them and they tell they are OK.

Overall Review: Of the 2 I sent back, only one was returned and it does not work. Are the Chinese selling us junk now?
