SAPPHIRE 100282XTREME Radeon HD 5850 Xtreme 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Pros: Installed it yesterday with no problems. Had a HD4890 in the slot so already had the 2x 6pin connectors available. No problems with drivers. Smooth sailing so far.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Using AMD's 11.3 driver with no problems. Have not used Sapphire before so we shall see how it goes.

Good Drive, Finally

Pros: Good burner for the price. Have done both CDs and DVDs and no coasters yet.

Cons: First one was DOA. Would not read CDs or DVDs. Sent it back with RMA. Newegg sent another in about a week.

Overall Review: I have found it does not always play well with other burners. Had some problems with speed, both reading and burning. Cured it by putting it on its own IDE ribbon connection as master.
