A Great Buy!!!

ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Excellent Board..Dropped it in, worked as soon as I hit the power button..Instructions were clear, Some nice accessories..Uguru is nice, but couldn't get the new version to run in vista 64. Zalman 9500 will fit on it no probs. The bios reset switch is very nice, and the 7.1 audio is pretty decent..Laid out very nicely..Don't pass this up beginners..This one is very easy to set up, but advanced enough for us tweakers to have some fun..

Cons: Vdroop on this board is pretty bad with quads..With a q6600 at 3.6 the bios reads 1.4975 and the actual is 1.4 under load. Overclocking can get frustrating with the Vdroop, but once you get used to the drop it gets alot easier, and if your running Uguru, even easier yet since it's connected to the bios.

Overall Review: Runnin this board with GSkill pc6400 Ram at 1.9 volts at 4-4-4-12..I did not have to change any other voltages on this board, and it detected everything promptly and correctly..Never a probem with this one, and great for a beginner..

Most Critical Review

I'll give it another try..

Pros: Very quiet, Lenth of cables, will work in an Antec 900, pretty tight voltages. Huge single rail, Good quality parts inside..Hopefully my new one doesn't make a bunch of weird electrical noises..Tested with just a power supply tester hooked up..Noise still there, just not as bad until I started putting load on it..

Cons: To many cables, modular would of been nice. Had to RMA because of a high pitch whining electrical noise coming out of it during scrolling, opening programs and other related tasks..Poor customer service for me..Other peoples RMA through the company might have been better..OCZ owns them now..The older power supplies seemed heavier and better quality..Now they seem cheaply made like a old run of the mill..Maybe I am wrong, just opinion. Others please comment.

Overall Review: Tried to RMA through the company, and didn't receive an email for two weeks. I only received an email after emailing three employees at the same time..Apparently my RMA fell through the cracks they said..I also think it's funny that all the manufactures responses from them on here say "RMA through Newegg." I only see that as please don't ask us to do an RMA for you, have Newegg do it, which is basically what I had to do to get a new one..Thanks Newegg for your excellent customer service..Thanks PC Power&Cooling for well,....nevermind..

Nice HD

Pros: Large capacity, very quiet..It is pretty much silent..No weird software or jumpers to make this work at 3.0 right out of the box..I am enjoying this drive..Mine was shipped in antistatic sealed bag wrapped in ALOT of bubble wrap. I was not at all concerned about static or shock damage..Mine was shipped from CA.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Thanks Newegg..Lookin for a very good drive as stand alone or raid..Get this one..You won't be disappointed.

Nice UPS

Pros: Looks and functions very nice. Software very easy to install, and works with vista 64..20 inch monitor and high end rig gives me about 21 minutes under load and 31 minutes at idle..Newegg shipped this to me in a box, not in it's own box..Not sure if it makes a difference where it was shipped from, but this was shipped from Jersey.

Cons: No backup on the box..If you hit the power button, everything goes down..Not really a con, but the plugins are sideways..The LCD is kinda pointless because the software that comes with it tells you everything on screen. I wish the LCD didn't turn off by itself though..

Overall Review: I got this on sale and really like it..If you buy this one and know the features you won't be disappointed..That is unless they ship it in it's own box, and UP* beats the snot out of it..:)

Excellent Choice

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ

Pros: Love the Red heat spreaders..Easily does what it specs at, and more..Price..Runnin 4 gig of this stuff on Vista 64..No problems..:)

Cons: None that I can see..Does what it's supposed to, and better..

Overall Review: Will run a little faster than 800 at 4-4-4-12 at 2.0 volts, but I am not going to feed this ram any more than recomended voltage to get it higher than say 900 or so at 2.0..

Very Nice Processor

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80562Q6600
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W None Integrated Graphics Processor - BX80562Q6600

Pros: Excellent Processor and price. Quad core. G0 stepping..Easily overclocked to 3.6 400x9 at 1.38 vcore after Vdroop using the Abit 35pro. Bios voltage was 1.4650. Using Everest Ultimate for CPU testing. No problems..Games scream!

Cons: Stock cooling, but not the fault of the processor..Nothing with this one..

Overall Review: Excellent intro into the Quad arena..I would not pass this up for the price right now..You will not be disappointed unless maybe you get the B3 stepping.. Thanks Newegg..
