PowerColor Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card X800GTO256MBDDR3
PowerColor Radeon X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card X800GTO256MBDDR3

Pros: This card is awesome. Plain sweet. Some say that the card is HUGE, yet it is a quite small card. ONLY 1/2 inch longer than my x700SE. The cards cost is $xxx. So not expensive. For specs read other thoughts.

Cons: Absolutley none.

Overall Review: Card installed right out of box in 10 mins. I pulled my x700SE out, put this one in. Had to uninstall and reinstall Catalyst for it to properly detect, and WALAH! The card also runs BF2, about 120fps without a hitch Out of box. I have an 80gb HD and 1gb of Memory. 400/492 out of box clock. Only thing is it doesnt have temp. detect, but no reason to cry, most cards dont. Would suggest to anyone. A MUST BUY!

Pros: A good board.. but read Cons.

Cons: Was hyped about getting this board, Waited for an hour for the UPS guy to get to my door. Once I received it I ran to my room, put the system together, then Nothing. Got a DoA board. Tried 2 CPUS, 3 Cases, 2 PSUs, 2 Sets of ram, it just wont power up..

Overall Review: Newegg was great about Replacements. Paid for shipping to replace it, printing the labels and going to run up to UPS now.

Amazing.

Pros: Amazing board. As I posted before, I had received a DoA board. It was probably a coincidence, as the board I received today is nothing short of amazing. It went in amazingly and is absolutely the best over-clocking board I have seen to date. Glad I didn't go with the DS3R board. Runs my E4500 Stable at 230x11, currently set at 240x10.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Pros: New mobo should ship today, We will see if I recieve another DoA Mobo again or not. Hopefully it was just a fluke and won't happen again. Looking forward to finally getting this system together.. a month after I originally started ordering parts..

Cons: ---
