SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283-3L

Pros: All of my old games play with new vigor, like an old man drinking red bull and popping viagra.

Cons: -Wont help me "play" with new vigor.

Probably the last one I'll every buy

Overall Review: I would recommend to a friend. I would buy this again if SSD's were not getting cheaper. In fact, its my second one. Wouldn't change anything.

Installed Fine, No Problems

Has not been good to me [UPDATED]

ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card

Pros: The sound is great. I think it wound sound even better if I had some new speakers to go with it.

Cons: Drivers are aweful. Do not use ASUS standard drivers. They'll leave you crashing all the time. I had to download some unoffical drivers from a person who posts on their forums and disable HsMgr.exe (Do not disable if you have 32bit version) (Do not disable HsMgr64.exe)

Overall Review: I spent months dealing with this card crashing at least once a day and some times 2 and 4 times a day. It got to the point where it was unbarable. I had tried unofficial drivers before but they did not help. Eventually someone created some that worked for me. They are easy to find if you go to Asus's forums and look up the drivers. Now, I haven't crashed in days and I was very close to doing an RMA. Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120830-0333) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) BIOS: BIOS Date: 03/08/11 10:42:32 Ver: 08.00.15 Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 B55 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.2GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Card name: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Chip type: AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x68B8) DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz) Display Memory: 2801 MB Dedicated Memory: 1014 MB Shared Memory: 1787 MB Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)

It worked for me

Auria 24" 1080p 60Hz LED-LCD HDTV EQ2487L
Auria 24" 1080p 60Hz LED-LCD HDTV EQ2487L

Pros: Good Image Quality. Works great with basic games. I didn't notice any ghosting.

Cons: Takes awhile to come on. Loses audio sync occasionally. If it goes in to sleep mode when connecting to a compuer it will more like than not freeze.

Overall Review: I guess it was worth the risk. I knocked mine over accidently and smashed the screen but even with the big white mark the rest of the screen looks good. Make sure you secure your TV or you may break it like I did mine.

Good Solid Printer

Pros: Prints much faster than my other one. Easy Setup

Cons: Changing print quality to fast normal doesn't put enough ink on the paper. I can barely read it.
