Pros: First off this has to be one of the most well packaged computer part I have ever seen in my life. It comes in a very nice box that has full padding. The card is sitting in a perfect cutout almost like a guncase. The card itself was in polished perfect condition out of the box. I am running this card with a i7 920 and I was able to run crysis on very high settings with no laggy frames. XFX drivers work awesome, I am running Win 7 Ultimate and there hasnt been a single issue running this card.

Cons: I have a thermaltake element pro case and this card pretty much fit wall to wall installing it. No way it could even be half an inch longer or it wouldnt fit.

Overall Review: When I booted up my machine for the first time it didnt recognize the card at all, only vga standard. Once windows got done with all its updates I poped in the disc and chose register and get direct drives off their site. Drivers installed really fast and then my computer reset with full detection of this card. Win 7 performance rating gives me a 7.8 out of 7.9 without any overclocking. I used to be an Nvidia fan but after changing from a GTX295 to this card. I think ATI has earned my respect and loyalty. Maybe one day I will buy another to crossfire but seeing as I threw crysis at it full settings with ease I have no need to get a second at this time.

Pros: This card is pretty small, it should fit into shuttle cases and stuff pretty easly. Asus has good drivers to get off their website so no issues there for me.

Cons: Its a little deceiving for a 9 series card to me. I was upgrading from a 8500gt which was playing most my games at a very low setting. Upgrading to the 9 series was a very little improvement at that. I was unable to turn any settings up on excisting games but frames where better.

Overall Review: I was looking for a cheap alternative to get my pc back up and running with a simple card that I could run medium settings on games like COD5, Call of Juarez, and prototype. This card will not play these games unless you downscale the resolution significantly which is no fun to me. So for adverage users who are looking to upgrade an excisting pc or build a new one. If gaming is something you would want to do, I suggest saving up a little longer and getting something else.

Pros: It does its job, powered up my machine. It has enough power cables to SLI or Crossfire graphic cards. It runs pretty quiet.

Cons: The power cables are long, I have a Thermaltake Element case and the cables have so much excess length you basicly have to loop them to get them to fit. I tried adjusting the wires abit but there is so many since its not modular. It looks somewhat sloppy inside my case now because of how the power cables fill every gap of space in my case.

Overall Review: I cant take off a star for the power cables being too long, because I know with another case someone might say they are perfect or even too short.

Pros: This being the lowest model of i7 quadcore it still pegs out my Win 7 performance rating at 7.4 out of 7.9 without any overclocking. I ran crysis with max settings with a XFX 5870 and game runs flawless. All applications I have ran so far run at amazing speeds, very pleased with my purchase.

Cons: None

Pros: I installed my memory with no trouble at all. Looked at my motherboard instruction booklet to see which slots were best used when only using 3/6 slots. Plug and play, I didnt have to do anything else put place them on my motherboard.

Cons: None at this time

Overall Review: Running win 7 ultimate, windows performance rating gave me a 7.5 out of 7.9 on memory.

Pros: Plug and play, works great.

Cons: None

Overall Review: For $30 its awesome for a standard optic drive.
