Four sticks works like a charm
Pros: Installed four sticks (8 gigs purchased from Newegg) in a new build. Used a Gigabyte GA-P35-D53P motherboard running VISTA Home Premium (64 bit). It runs flawlessly. I have not tried to overclock yet. Played Crysis for four hours straight (several times). No issues, no problems.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I ususally stick to Corsair, but couldn't pass up the value of this offer. G.Skill has a new fan (and I love the way they monitor the comments here - too many companies don't seem to care)
OK but not great
Pros: inexpensive, works
Cons: batteries left in it for a while seem to completely lose their charge. one battery that came with this unit malfunctioned and melted a nearby plastic trash can liner, making me fear the potential for fire. others of these that i have purchased as bundles with cameras have worked as advertised, but the batteries seem to have limited lifespans
Overall Review: OK but not great - but then again, not too expensive so i guess i shouldn't complain
excellent performance for the $
Pros: peformance is excellent for the price, runs cool, great choice for upgrading an old system that had a Socket 478/AGP motherboard. I switched out the motherboard, installed this processor and a PCIE Intel 9800 vid card and life is much better
Cons: none so far
oozes quality
Pros: outstanding quality, excellent room, well organized, no sharp edges. love the brushed aluminum exterior. it doesn't show fingerprints, and is understated in it's own sinister yet elegant way. this is my first Lian Li case, and i definitely will be buying from them again in the future
Cons: motherboard tray is not removable
Overall Review: well worth the price
gorgeous
Pros: I own or use seven different lcd monitors, and this has (by far) the best picture of any of them. That says it all.
Cons: tilt feature is stiff, no height adjustment, but none needed on my desk.
Overall Review: no dead pixels, swivel is nice, front on-off button is nice and easy to see (backlit). too many monitors have a black button on a black background, or put the on-off button on the side of the monitor
solid processor
Pros: used in a micro-atx build with leftover parts. overclocked to 2.7+ ghz with no problems. runs low to moderate games like UT2004 with no issues. Halo was a little slow but that is probably the vid card. i'm very impressed!
Cons: none (however, you shouldn't expect it to run cutting edge games at spectacular framerates)
Overall Review: outstanding processor for the price.
