Blazing Fast

Pros: This is an amazing and perfect tri-channel kit for your new i7 build...was available for a few hours on newegg last week. Currently running my i7 920 at 3.20GHz with these babies at 1594Mhz (888-24)..
Cons: none yet....
Overall Review: CPU-Z seems to show these as PC-8500 Modules rated at 1.5v (??)
ATI needs to get its act right

Pros: Ok. So this card has been excellent when it is working fine. Using it in my HTPC and love that it supports TrueHD and DTS MA bitstreaming. Plays full HD videos (with DXVA enabled) smoothly and I feel that pic quality has noticable improved over my old HD 3870....Now for the cons...
Cons: The major issue that ATI is turning a blind eye to is these 5xxx series cards have major issues with "ATI powerplay". I was getting audio dropouts while playing video without DXVA enabled..like with 7MC and ffdshow. I spent countless hours trying to fix this but finally found out this is a known issue on these cards and has to do with ATI PowerPlay automatically lowering/switching the clocks for no rhyme or reason causing these audio dropouts. After disabling powerplay (ggogle), everything works like a charm.... This is the second product I came across from ATI which has such a major issue ( the first was the infamous No DVI issue with certain monitors). In both cases, countless e-mails have been sent to them but they turn a blind eye....
Overall Review: Since, this is not an issue with Gigabyte, I would just deduct 1 egg...
Question on VFD

Pros: I am planning to get this case (since it is awesome)...can anyone tell me if the VFD is included with the case?... If not, which VFD panel would be compatible with this case? I read about a certain Media Labs VFD(?) but can't find a link to it in NewEgg....
Cons: Me:- Can't figure out if VFD is included with the Case. Mozart:- Doesn't tell me if a VFD is included with it.
Awesome Burner

Pros: Burns everything really fast! Make sure you upgrade the firware to SB02 from the Samsun Website. For folks who are wondering about the "TSST" (instead of "Samsung" )that shows up in Device manager or Explorer should know that it stands for Toshiba/Samsung Technologies so do not worry, you have not been ripped off.
Cons: None
Overall Review: This is for people who have problem with Nero 7 and *ANY* lightscribe drive. 1.Download and Run Nero "General Clean Tool" and clean *every* piece of Nero software installed on your system. 2. Install the LS Host software from www.lightscribe.com or www.nero.com 3. Re-install Nero 7 4. Now start Burning LS Dics...
