Goodbye 32Bit

Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2C 64-bit for System Builders
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2C 64-bit for System Builders

Pros: 64 Bit is the future. It is extremely stable, extremely fast, and extremely beautiful. I have not experienced one single problem. All my programs work, all my drivers work, but best of all. Crysis runs full gfx in DX10 wonderfully.

Cons: $139.99... I bought is for almost 100 dollars more back in August '07.

Overall Review: Love it Love it Love it.

Most Critical Review

Great Board

EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Everything about it when it is working.

Cons: I have the board and it was great until one of my RAM channels broke. Like many other reviewers I thought this was a myth but it is true. I can't use one of my sticks now and it is annoying. Also the onboard sound broke as well as the ethernet on the board. Was going to send it back but I' am getting the cheap upgrade to the 780i. In the mean time I bought a nice P35 motherboard to replace it.

Overall Review: After 1 month the troubles started kicking in.

XFX

XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (512MB per GPU) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT98UZHF9
XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (512MB per GPU) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT98UZHF9

Pros: What can you expect from XfX? Nothing great...

Cons: I bought the card and just like my XfX 8800Ultra it came badly packaged and cracked. I didn't even bother trying to install the card... I send it back and bought an eVGA one. Second time now XfX I had to go to eVGA. I don't know why I gave you guys second chance but you failed. Lost my business.

Overall Review: eVGA ROCKS!!!

eVGA

EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Flat out the best company and the best motherboard I have ever used. It is simply amazing. It looks great. It's overclocking capabilities are superior to any other motherboard I have used and it has 3x2.0 Slots. Simply a work of art. Not to mention 45nm CPU compatibility.

Cons: Ugh as usual it isn't free. But the price ain't that bad at all.

Overall Review: eVGA 780i A1 Motherboard Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 4.0Ghz 4x1GB 1200Mhz DDR2 RAM 2x1 eVGA 9800GX2 1GB 512bit 2000 Watt Thermaltake Toughpower

WOW!

EVGA 512-P3-N862-AR GeForce 9600GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 512-P3-N862-AR GeForce 9600GT Superclocked 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: This card is blazing. It is the best deal on the market as of right now. It out performs the 8800GT price/performance ratio wise but no just performance wise. I would recommend this over an 8800GT any day.

Cons: Wish it was a little faster but it's nothing that overclocking can't fix.

Overall Review: SLi?!?!

Had These for 2 Years
