Why all the low ratings?

Pros: Great board, lots of features. It is still running great, no problems with Vista 64, q9300, DDR3 RAM (look for the approved vendor list online in their manual) and sapphire radeon 4870
Cons: none I can think of
Overall Review: I don't know why people rated this board so low. I bought it because I decided to ignore the comments and go with the specs (it was what I was looking for). Great board.
Does what it's supposed to

Pros: For someone like me who isn't a computer fanatic, this antivirus works pretty well. It's easy to use and works better than the other free ones that I tried (for the average joe user like me I don't want to micromanage my antivirus).
Cons: It does use up a good chunk of system resources, but I always take that into account. It also has a very annoying renewal reminder that has popped up and locked up my system before. I would be in the middle of a program and it would pop up (especially frustrating during a heated game of counter strike). It's annoying enough to dock three eggs.
Overall Review: Dear Norton, If you'd just make your program shut up, I would give this 4+ eggs. Otherwise a great program.
What is wrong with newegg or microsoft?

Pros: What I expect from Windows Vista 64
Cons: The CD-key/code on the packet was actually scratched out for three letters/numbers!!!!! I had to literally sit there and go through the permutations because tech support and/or the returns process would be a pain in my caudal end.
Overall Review: Please don't scratch your products (whoever is responsible).

Pros: Great screen, great price, great quality
Cons: It's not 24"
Overall Review: Acer has always been good for me. I'm not a major video quality freak (I read some comments here about how Acer video quality sucks...what are they talking about?)
Love it

Pros: Excellent power backup for the price! Well made and sturdy. Did I mention that it looks beatiful too?
Cons: I just wish power backups were cheaper in general.
Overall Review: I love the power drain meter and the power reserve indicator (how much battery is left).
Great monitor

Pros: Great priced monitor. I have two of these exact models, one from newegg and one from brick and mortar Tiger Direct. Owned both for more than a year (one for about 3 years) and they are great!
Cons: I understand that some very picky gamers will want a more expensive monitor, but average people like me don't really notice or care.
Overall Review: Apparently the other even cheaper model is buggy? I would just spend the extra $$$ and get this one then.
