Works fine

D-Link Wireless-N Home Router (DIR-601), N150
D-Link Wireless-N Home Router (DIR-601), N150

Pros: Worked fine even upgraded, has plenty of features for a basic wireless N router.

Cons: Only complaint is it seems to be a bit slugish at times with the local network on wireless, could be an issue with the apartment but the TV is less thank 8 feet away from the router.

Overall Review: I am thinking about using DDWRT firmware on it, it is supported in case you are wondering.

Do not even think about it

XFX Radeon HD 5750 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-575X-ZNFC
XFX Radeon HD 5750 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-575X-ZNFC

Pros: I didn't believe everyone else with problems on these cards......I though they were ignorant, or doing something wrong, they aren't. This card is a beautiful card, I can max out just about everything with my Phenom II x4 945 , In windows 7 64-bit ultimate. It installed fine, I have not overclocked it, don't think ill need to or I will buy another for Crossfire. ( I gave it a three because if these issues are fixed it is amazing, it will get a perfect rating, but until then its so useless) Also effects 5770, 5800 series, some 5900 series and some 48xx series as well. Even without crossfire (I have only one card)

Cons: Okay where to start, the card is amazing...when its usable. I like many others on forums, etc, have had problems randomly occuring in games, or 3D applications, at first I thought it was a bad card, then I thought bad drivers, so I originally used 10.1; 10.2 was released today did a fresh install of windows 7 64-bit, Installed new drivers....worked amazing for uh a whole 10 minutes, then crashes like every other time I play a game, sucks too I am dying to play Dragon Age, Bioshock, and Burnout Paradise...bought them all for my new rig...I can only watch movies, and listen to music and browse the web...really pathetic for ATI/AMD, they claimed 10.2 would fix all this. It didnt. Now im not sure what I am to do, RMA for another bad card? I would have installed XP pro 32-bit; but the problem exists 32/64 bit; as well as anything from xp to vista, someone even claimed using Fedora Core it gave green screens of death as I am learning to call them. I can say I have lost all faith

Overall Review: in ATI; and AMD, how could they let so many people just sit here after we dish out our money (which isnt easy to come by these days) with amazing graphics cards that don't work. Doesnt seem to matter what motherboard, PSU, Memory, Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit), or even what Processor, Ive tried bios updates, changing ram, changing slots, reinstalling windows, different drivers. I think im begining to hate ATI and AMD. And if anyone from XFX is reading this, im ashamed to say I bought this from you, ive bought so many other cards from you without a problem shouldnt you warn people before they buy a potentially useless product? I am so upset with XFX, AMD and ATI. And even if it is fixed what do we get for spending money...for nothing....I hope an XFX rep reads this...its just sad. I cant believe im saying this but I might go with the other graphics card manufacturer...the dreaded 'N'. And for so many years I swore by XFX, ATI and AMD....now I warn stay away from them..sad...

Works Great....not Forever

Pros: It worked great, it isnt too large and supported the resolutions I needed and it was pretty darn cheap.

Cons: Now when I say it worked it did, however after 6 months it just failed, now once I connected the adapter I have never moved it, however it completely failed in a pretty short time frame. Buy something a bit more expensive, I know I will to replace this one now.

Same as last pair

Pros: Worked fine out of box gives my desktop PC 8Gb total memory, this is my second pair. Great price works wonderful.

Cons: Well can one ever have too much memory...not a con just a statement.

Overall Review: Love the heat sinks as im sure some day soon I will be overclocking my computer before I build a new one and make this a multimedia PC.

Great.
