Good Product

Wintec AMPX 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AXT6400C5-2048K
Wintec AMPX 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AXT6400C5-2048K

Pros: Great ram, works as advertised. Low cost, heat spreaders...

Cons: Overclock easily in BIOS, stable at 1000 MHz

Overall Review: AMD X2 5600+, Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard, 2GB Wintec AMPX DDR2 800, MSI Nvidia 8600GTS-OC,200GB Maxtor DiamondMax SATA300, 300GB Maxtor DiamondMax SATA150, Windows XP Professional 64Bit, Windows Vista Ultimate 64Bit

Great Power Supply!

Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU 500 W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply
Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU 500 W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply

Pros: Handles my 5600+, 3 hard drives, and 8600GTs just fine. I will need to upgrade soon though, as I am going to SLI config. The sleeves on the cables make organization much easier

Cons: DO NOT BUY THIS POWER SUPPLY IF YOU EXPECT A REBATE. Worldwide Rebates is the company that handles thermaltakes rebates. They intentionally sabotage rebates so that they could deny them. I photocopied every item I placed in the envelope that I mailed to them, and was sent an email a few weeks later that I was missing a packing slip. Well, considering I know I sent the packing slip, as I had proof scanned it, I called and offered to email it to them AGAIN, because I guess it was accidentally "misfiled." I am awaiting their response now after I had to mail in all the components again.

Overall Review: BEWARE OF REBATES. Otherwise, great product. Specs:Asus M2N SLI Deluxe, AMD 5600+ OC: 3.1gHz, Thermaltake Purepower 500W, MSI Nvidia 8600GTSOC, LG 20X DVDRAM, Maxtor 200GB SATAII, Samsung 500GB SATAII, Rosewill Z3 Cooler System, Antec 900 Case, Windows XP Pro X64.

Good MOBO

Pros: Works out of the box, no install problems or compatibility issues with the X2 5600+. Dual LAN inputs, firewire, plenty of SATA & USB. Cool software off the disk for amateur overclockers.

Cons: 1 IDE port...nobody's perfect. Also, one of my copper fins was slightly bent, probably a packing issue.

Overall Review: Heard it was not compatible with some RAM. I rolled the dice on Wintec AMPX DDR2 800, and wanted to let everyone know that is a good combination with this mobo.

Wow....

MSI GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card NX8600GTS-T2D256E-OC

Pros: Super Fast! Overclocks easily with the tray on CD. Big *ss cooler keeps mine in the 50's even under a heavy load. Good price. Play the same games, BF2, BF2142, CS, as my buddy who bought the 8800GTX and laugh at him because mine was half the cost and you can tell almost no difference.

Cons: You aren't supposed to use it as a TV tray, but it's big enough.

Overall Review: I clicked order and the package was on my door. How do you do it newegg?
