A budget SSD
Pros: Very very fast compared to a hard drive. Windows 7 boots very fast. Applications load very fast. No studdering at all. Comes with cloning software, although i did a clean install of windows 7 on it. It also supports the trim feature for windows 7. My windows 7 hard drive score went from 5.9 (with a modern 7200 rpm western digital black drive) to 6.9 with this ssd. Quite a jump i think. It also comes with hard drive brackets to make it easier to fit in your case.
Cons: This ssd is not a top of the line ssd. However comparing the price to some of the other higher performing ssd's it seems to be priced about right in the current market. Even though it's a budget ssd it is still a lot faster than even the 10000 rpm rapters.
Overall Review: If your on a budget and want a ssd this drive is for you. However if you want the best of the best your going to want a better ssd. However your also going to have to pay a considerably more for those drives. In todays market i think this ssd is priced about right in the current market.
Great card but isues with dvi, vga works great.
Pros: Great video card. Was just playing gears of war and crysis. It plays them much more smoothly than my old graphics card. I have a q6600, abit motherboard, and 8 gb of memory.
Cons: My particular motherboard does not get along with the dvi port on this videocard. At first i thought my motherboard had went bad. It turns out vga works fine. My motherboard is an abit ip35v. Hopefully a bios update will fix the dvi thing.
Overall Review: Besides the dvi thing, this card is working great and playing my games on high settings. Great bang for the buck card.
Comments: with my last modem i would usually connect at 45.2. it was a creative modem blaster. With this cheaper modem i connect between 49.2 and 53.2 every time i connect. Very good modem for the money.
