Nice Card

ASUS GeForce 7600GS 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card EN7600GS SILENT/HTD/512M

Pros: Very nice card for the money. Placed it in an Asus M2N board, loaded up the driver and it performed nicely.

Cons: No active fan on the heaksink.

Overall Review: If your not a hard core gamer, this card is a very good value.

Most Critical Review

Not bad

ASUS M4A78LT-M LE AM3 AMD 780L Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: A decent board for the price. Unlocked my triple core 2.9 without me having to do much thinking. At my age, (60), alot of thinking is painful. The only problem that I had was giving the onboard video to much to eat. I gave it a full gig of system memory and it went wild, BSOD, etc. After I cut memory down to half a gig the video became as stable as an add on video card that breaks the bank cost wize. Not as good as the old Abit boards, but a good solid board for the money.

Cons: Not much in the way of cons. Hey, you get what you pay for. Newbies, read the manual front to back before you start plugging stuff in. Spare yourself the pain.

Overall Review: In 20 years of buying Asus boards, I have yet to have one go bad before it's time. I just retired an Asus board that I used for 6 years without any trouble.

Nice

Pros: $17.99 delivered for a burner? Man oh man. At one time I Payed 200 clams for a Cd burner that ran at 2X. This thing is nice. It's all most of us need.

Cons: It doesn't empty ash trays and recycle beer cans.

Overall Review: Get at least two of these at this price.

Pros: Pros: ? The price, It's all about the price. I no longer have to burn Cd's in order to back stuff up. As long as my rottweiler doesn't eat it as a midnight snack, I'm good to go.

Cons: It doesn't double as a bread maker

Overall Review: I'm out of thoughts

worked for me

Pros: I popped the two chips in my Asus ASUS M4A78LT-M LE board and left it at that. They work, work well. In fact for the price, how can you go wrong.

Cons: They didnt recite the Gettysburg Address.

Overall Review: I remember paying two hundred clams for one half gig of memory. This stuff is a steal.

Yikes!

Pros: Amd did it again. This little beast chews up concrete and spits out marbles. I have been using Amd chips for nearly 20 years, popping them in Abit and Asus boards. This chip is freaking nice, real, real nice. My Asus M4A78LT-M LE board overclocked for me, and just like magic, it became a quad core monster. You can not, can not go wrong with this chip for the price.

Cons: It didnt turn my wife into a Dallas chearleader.

Overall Review: Newbies, Take some advice from an old timer, get this chip with the Asus M4A78LT-M LE board, pop in 4 gig of ram and don't look back.
