Nice Upgrade. never was a toad..

XFX Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card HD-467X-ZDF2
XFX Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card HD-467X-ZDF2

Pros: Bought this card to put into a friends AMD HP PC that had on-board graphics. Obviously made a difference, but was surprised at how well the AMD/ATI Fusion utility worked! Set it to performance and it shut down a ton of windows background operations and the once slow dell flew again!

Cons: another ati card with no crossfire bridge but friends PC only has 1 pci-e slot.

Overall Review: Not having pci-e external power requirement makes this an excellent upgrade card for factory PC's with shoddy on-board graphic chips and if it is all AMD/ATI the fusion utility makes a tired PC run like it found some kinda wiz-ard to change it back again...

Most Critical Review

UPDATE FEATURES

SAPPHIRE CrossFire Bridge Model 6110024000G
SAPPHIRE CrossFire Bridge Model 6110024000G

Pros: ATI has not changed the crossfire bridge, so it works on all cards, please update features description to reflect that. - 1 egg for making me cross my fingers

Cons: should have come with either one of my Asus hd 4770's, or maybe the Gigabyte x58-ud5 board? Got Sli bridges, no xfire :( Should deduct an egg here but thats not neweggs fault, but they do have more weight with ATI than I do. They should complain on behalf of their customers that such a inexpensive one size fits all piece is not included. I will gladdly send back these lame dvi to hdmi or dvi to vga converters that come with all three if they are to tight on cash...

Overall Review: Only need 1 for 2 cards, 2 for three cards, but I got 2 since I was paying shipping anyways, which should be free for such a small item. -1 egg for shipping (showed up in an envelope?!)

Scroll acting funny?

Logitech G9x Black Two modes scroll USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
Logitech G9x Black Two modes scroll USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: Has mousiness Can it be 2 years old now?

Cons: Tends to steal cheese

Overall Review: I love this mouse, and was really upset that I was about to have to replace it for a bad scroll wheel. Well guess what?! If the wheel starts to loose sensitivity remove the swappable cover and eject the weights then blast the insides with compressed air. Hello dustball! Mouse works 100% again!

LED TV

Rosewill RHTB-11004 - 37" - 65" LCD LED TV Low-Profile Slim Flat Wall Mount - Max. Load 150 lb. Television, VESA Up to 800 x 400mm, Black

Pros: LED TV's with side and bottom inputs ONLY. Used name brand one on Toshiba LED in office which is super thin and all inputs are orientated to go in sideways. Nothing sticks out the back. I have paintings that stick off the wall more (framed of course)

Cons: Regular price is too high, the name brand one (same manafacturer) lists at same price. Have reseller account with distributor so bought it local. Sale price essentially cost.

Overall Review: Designed to be attached to studded wall, into the studs. Pole mount is obviously modified and not it's intended use. It is literally an over-sized picture hanger.

Painless

Patriot Viper Xtreme 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model PX7312G1600LLK
Patriot Viper Xtreme 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model PX7312G1600LLK

Pros: Plug them in and they work as advertised, no issues running with older OCZ with matched timings on second channel.

Cons: Heat sinks are taller than the ocz

Overall Review: I love reading reviews of "bad memory" or "Motherboards" because intel switched the channels on X58.

ZERO STARS

Corsair Force Series GT 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F120GBGT-BK
Corsair Force Series GT 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F120GBGT-BK

Pros: 7.8 windows rating, for the 10 minutes it might run windows...

Cons: doesn't deserve the first star, corrupts everything you put on it. It has no idea where it is storing data it would seem, or at least it can't operate an OS. How can I get them to help Troubleshoot it when windows isn't stable?

Overall Review: total wast of money, time, and it probably took time off of my life in stess to my heart from elevated blood pressure. Suprised I didn't have a heart attack while working with MICROSOFT to figure out this was a worthless piece of &*%^. I have Never RMA'd anything back to newegg, first piece of hardware that failed on me new from them in 5 years.
