Incredilby FAST, Incredibly HUGE Hard Drive!

Pros: VERY FAST, VERY LARGE, WinXP installed in record time. Runs cool. Price is also great. My game load times are much faster. Crysis levels load in 2/3 the time they used to.

Cons: None whatsoever.

Overall Review: I am absolutely thrilled with this drive! This the new latest and greatest hard drive to beat. It just debuted days ago and there are only a few reviews on the net. This drive sports three 334GB platters. These denser platters make it much faster than ALL OF THE COMPETITION. My main C:boot drive was a WD 750GB GP drive which read around 72-74 MB/s using HDTach. This drive reads at 92-94 MB/s which is phenominal. Toms Hardware Guide.com has a HDD Performance Chart that compares dozens of the latest drives and this thing dominates the charts for a large margin. Go check it out.

Awesome Card! It's Built for Crysis!

Pros: Amazingly FAST and POWERFUL! Runs my 24" monitor at 1920x1200 wonderfully, not too loud. Can run Crysis with everything on "HIGH". Call of Duty 4 looks incredible!

Cons: Price should be lower. I paid through the nose for this card because of the ridiculous markup due to low supply.

Overall Review: This card has blown me away. It has exceeded my expectations. When I opened Crysis and chose to detect "Optimal System Settings" and saw everything go to "HIGH" I nearly fainted from shock and excitement. Crysis looks amazing at 1920x1200. Oblivion, Crysis, COD4 and Bioshock all look incredible and are smooth as butter. I'm running this card with my Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz, 2GB DDR2 1066 @ 1334 and a Samsung 1TB drive on an Asus P5K-Deluxe. My 3DMark05 score is 18,028. My 3DMark06 score is 13,631 and my AquaMark3 Score is 171,069!!! WOW!
