Very Satisfied

XFX Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-487A-CDF9
XFX Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-487A-CDF9

Pros: This card can handle every game that I've tried with no problems. And using all of the highest settings. Shows up as 2 video cards in ATI Catalyst. The fan blows the heat out of the back of the case. I can hardly wait to get another! I want to run Crysis at full steam!!!

Cons: It can get very hot!!! I couldn't believe how much heat it puts out. The back of my pc felt like a blow dryer at full capacity. HA HA! You definitely need a pc with great airflow or water cooling!!!

Overall Review: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz - GIGABYTE GA-MA790FXT-UD5P AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX - ATX AMD Motherboard - 8 GB CORSAIR XMS DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) - Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 - Thermaltake ToughPower 1000W PSU - Thermaltake Armor+ VH6001BWS

Mobo won't boot

Pros: All of the features that it's supposed to have.

Cons: My board will not boot. I have a 600W SLI Certified PSU, the 2x KVR667D2N5/1G memory that was tested and suggested for this board I'm getting some power to the board because the light on my card reader comes on when I turn the PSU on but nothing else happens. There's no fans spinning, beeps, nothing. Can anybody help me? I don't want to RMA the board or anything if I don't have to.

Overall Review: My Setup: BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3, KINGWIN ABT-600MA1 ATX 12V Ver.2.2 600W PSU, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+, Kingston 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300), SB X-Fi Platinum 7.1

Pros: This is a grseat product. It works as advertised. I've only had it a few days but I recognized the speed boost immediately!

Cons: None so far. I may update may my review after I've had it a few months.

Overall Review: It does get a little hot. And so does the Linksys WRVS4400N.

Great card

BFG Tech GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card BFGR76256GTOCE
BFG Tech GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card BFGR76256GTOCE

Pros: This card is great! It's definitely a step up from my old GeForce 6600. I haven't had any issues out of this card and it works with the latest nVidia drivers. Those of you who are veteran nVidia card buyers you know what I'm taking about. I'm getting another in the mail today so that I can setup SLi. I'll give you another update later.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: The rebate and warranty rocks!

Pros: The memory is great!! I'm not into over-clocking so I can't tell you how they work there. But my mb recognized them with no problems.

Cons: None. I'm thinking of gettong 2 more very soon.
