Pros: This card works great and didn't break the bank. I use it to play video games - COD W@W and L4D.

Cons: Can't think of anything wrong with this card.

Most Critical Review

Not as fast as claimed

OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K

Pros: Can be overclocked a LITTLE.

Cons: I have never achieved the claimed clocks out of this memory. As such, overclocking slightly is necesarry to achieve the claimed rate.

Overall Review: Installed in an ASUS P4P800SE MOBO with an ANTEC PSUP 26amp on the 12v rail. Not impressed with the overclock. Less impressed with the stock (did not meet the claimed clocks).

Great Router

Pros: Very good router. Easy to configure for a noob with a helpfull interface. If you have a better understanding of wireless/router technology there are many features. I especially like the guest network. Pairs very nicely with the recommended usb wireless device.

Cons: I wish all my devices were native 108 draft n. Not the routers fault.

Works as Advertised

C2G 43099 35 ft. HD15 Male to Male Cable with 3.5mm Audio
C2G 43099 35 ft. HD15 Male to Male Cable with 3.5mm Audio

Pros: Connected my Sony 52 inch XBR5, via the VGA PC port and microphone jack on the television, to the graphics card and sound card on my computer (used a VGA to DMI adaptor I had laying around). Works great.

Cons: Hmmm, it is a cable rather than wireless? No cons.

Great Monitor

Good sink

ZALMAN VF700-CU 2 Ball VGA Cooler

Pros: This cooler is very quiet at low rpm. Low rpm is suitable for older cards like 9800 pro; dont know about newer stuff. Even at low setting this cools great on my ati9800pro. I also have one on my ati850xt but have it at full blast - it also is better than stock even at a huge overclock. It comes with thermal paste and memory HS.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Quiet when you want it to be - a strong performer when you want it to be. Installation was easy.
