New life to old printer

CABLES UNLIMITED Model USB-1475-06 USB to Parallel DB25 Female Printer Cable
CABLES UNLIMITED Model USB-1475-06 USB to Parallel DB25 Female Printer Cable

Pros: Worked perfectly to breathe new life into an old Laserjet 1100.

Cons: Slow download of Windows 7 drivers from chipset mfr.

Overall Review: New PC had no Parallel port. Used this cable + original parallel cable to connect LJ1100.

Older laptop with new life!

HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model KHX5300S2LLK2/2G
HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model KHX5300S2LLK2/2G

Pros: Quadrupled memory in an Acer Aspire 3610 (3613WLCi) from 512MB to 2GB. Easy installation at a fair price for DDR2, and nice to go from single-channel to dual-channel. No settings to change - just plug in and go!

Cons: None

Overall Review: DUE TO MOTHERBOARD DESIGN, the memory is only operating at DDR2/400 (PC2-3200) speeds in my Aspire 3610. I knew this before ordering so this is NOT an con, but remember to do your research before ordering any product.

G2 stepping

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ - Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane Dual-Core 2.6 GHz Socket AM2 65W Black Edition Processor - ADO5000DSWOF
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ - Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane Dual-Core 2.6 GHz Socket AM2 65W Black Edition Processor - ADO5000DSWOF

Pros: G2 stepping! :-) Black edition stickers (tribal spider, scorpion, and bat designs), "collectable 'get 3'" sticker, and a standard Athlon x2 sticker.

Cons: My motherboard's OC-ability, but that's another story. (Low-, Medium- or High- voltage dummy-settings)

Overall Review: Nothing new, but the OPN on the certificate of authenticity: ADO5000DSWOF (G1), Part # etched on the processor: ADO5000IAA5DS (G2 stepping). CoA label and Etched serial #'s match so there must have been a glitch with the labels.

SAPPHIRE Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card 100131L
SAPPHIRE Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card 100131L

Pros: Excellent upgrade from R9500Pro!!! Unlocked to 16 pipelines with no artifacts!

Cons: x800 w/ R430 chipset. Don't count on getting XT speeds from the included overclocking utility.

Overall Review: This card is an excellent value if you're looking for a budget AGP 8x upgrade. Unlockable, but remember- your mileage may vary.
