Most Favorable Review

Great value

HyperX 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2LL/2GR

Pros: Does what it's supposed to do. 3GB in Vista :D I don't like to cheap out on RAM with no heatspreaders.

Cons: None, unless they die quickly.

Overall Review: Instability with 4-4-4-12 timings @819mhz, but i probably just need to give it more voltage, if not i'll loosen the timings it's no big deal.

BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card BFGE98512GTXPOCE

Pros: 6,000PPD in Folding@Home compared to 2,000 from my old 3870. Quite a bit faster in games. 100 day trade-up program.

Cons: GPU-Z reads "9800GTX 65nm", IIRC the "+" was supposed to mean a 55nm card. I guess that's why it needs 2 6-pin cables instead of 1 like the 8800GTS 512. Insanely hot to the touch, good thing there is a warranty because i will be folding 24/7.

Overall Review: This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't be a fanboy. This was just a response to the 4850, i waited for the "+" for a reason and ended up being tricked by Nvidia. The later cards will probably be 55nm....
