Pros: Fast CPU, installation was easy on my motherboard, OEM fan included has heatsink paste already applied. I actually installed the CPU into a AM2 socket pending purchase of a new motherboard with a AM2x socket, so I lose some advantages of this CPU, but stillan improvement over the one it replaced.

Cons: Haven't run into any negative situations yet.

Overall Review: I read many of the reviews before buying this CPU. I saw a pattern. Some people found the CPU ran hot, others saw no heat issues. Since all the CPUs were the same, I guessed correctly that the difference was installation technique. The stock fan works just fine, as does the heat transfer paste on the heatsink. Before installation, go to AMD's website and read the instructions concerning installation of the heatsink. I installed the CPU, then cleaned the surface with Arctic Silver's Thermal Surface Purifier to remove any fingerprints or oil film that might be there. Then I installed the heatsink assembly per instructions (twist a couple of degrees to remove air pockets) and everything is working flawlessly.

Pros: NO DEAD PIXELS!!!!! Not one!!!!! This is the third Samsung monitor I have purchased over the years, and I like that I can depend on the quality. Both previous monitors are still working perfectly, I just keep upgrading to bigger ones and passing the previous ones along to friends/relatives. Great to have all this real estate....can open multiple programs or documents side by side.

Cons: Price made me wince a little....

Overall Review: If you buy this screen, be sure you have a good video card to push it, and if you have enough in the budget, you might think about a Blue Ray drive.

Pros: light, fits on keychain

Cons: Because of the way it is designed, it can be inserted upside down in the USB slot, making you thinkit it is defective because it is not recognized by the computer. Check to see that you have inserted it correctly before deciding it is bad.

Pros: Great deal in a combo, got the USB card reader at no charge.

Cons: USB card reader could use a cap to protect the USB connector.

Overall Review: Shoulda bought several......combos would make great Christmas gifts for anyone with a digital camera.

Pros: fast card for gaming or video applications

Cons: Thickness of card may cause the sacrifice of at least one other slot because it will be blocked by the card's thickness. It will depend on the motherboard.

Overall Review: This card uses a lot of power, it needs two 6 pin connectors.

Pros: Pretested in pairs.....no surprises.

Cons: slightly higher in cost than generic RAM

Overall Review: If you are building a fast computer for gaming, this is a sure bet. Other RAM may or may not affect the performance of a computer with high-end graphics cards, etc. If you are going to the trouble of building your own, and are going to be gaming, then go with these for stability.
