Nice Video Card for the money

XFX GeForce 9600 GSO 1GB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT96OZDFU
XFX GeForce 9600 GSO 1GB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT96OZDFU

Pros: Very nice card for the money. Replaced a Radeon X1950Xt that was freezing up pc due to heat. This new card has enabled the pc to run nonstop for 2 days with no problems. It runs Battlefield 2142 at max setting at high frame rates in XP machine. My son who's pc this is on is very happy. His pc is used for gaming...Battlefield Heroes, CoD4, BF2, Cod Waw, etc.

Cons: The fan is a little loud, but I'd rather have that fan humming keeping that card nice and cool.

Overall Review: Getting the Cod4 and Cod Waw for free only sweetens the deal. I noticed a $20 rebate which makes this card a steal.

Nice small lcd

SAMSUNG ToC T220HD Rose Black 22" 5ms HDMI Widescreen HDTV Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 10000:1 Built in DTV Tuner & Dolby Digital Surround Speakers

Pros: Samsung, good picture, cool color....the red across bottom looks sweet. Perfect for a bedroom....my daughter's.

Cons: There is no easy way to mount this on the wall. You have to order a special mount made by Samsung. Don't know why they didn't include std mounting bracket.

Overall Review: Good tv for the money, but be careful if you want to wall mount it. Not the standard.

Nice Large Crock Pot

Elite Gourmet Large 8-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker, Stainless MST-800V

Pros: Pleasantly suprise by this crock. I bought this for my wife for xmas even though we had a 6 qt model crock pot. Thought it would be nice to get the large size as we have a family of 6. We have used it about 6 times and it has worked very well with a variety of dishes.

Cons: None really, but it seems to cook a little hotter than ones we've had in the past. Maybe that's because of the size.

Overall Review: If you have the need for a large Crock pot, you can't go wrong with this one. The previous comment about it not being "all stainless steel" is right...it's just the cover/perimeter wrapping but it is still an attractive, sturdy product.

Pros: Great feel, long lasting...I have at least 700 hours of 2142 and 600 of bf2 and still going strong.

Cons: None really, would have been nice to have lighted keys.

Overall Review: Great Newegg service as usual.

Pros: Great price, great performance. Was skeptical because of name brand but the specs lived up to my gaming expectation. Awesome little monitor.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Bought this lcd at Best Buy one year ago on black friday for $199. Had to camp out overnight to get it at this price. Newegg's price is great for any other time.

ASUS GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card EN8800GT/G/HTDP/512M

Pros: The package was very impressive And liked getting the free game..$40 value. The delivery time was awesome as usual. In my possesion 24 hours after I place ordered. Newegg is awesome with service which is why I buy so much from them.

Cons: Was a little dificult getting into case as it was a about an inch longer than my bfg 7800gt oc's. I have a mid atx case. The reason I didn't give it a 5 is the performance is only slightly better than my sli 7800's. In call of duty 4 I was getting 60 to 90 fps at 800x600 resoulution with a mixture of med to low settings. I am suceptable to motion sickness thus need high frame rates. Expected to get much higher with 8800gt but actually got similar framerates with 1024x728 at med to high settings. Was hoping for maxed out settings with high framerates thus my disappointment.

Overall Review: My system is as follows: Asus a8nslideluxe, 2 gigs corsair ram, amd fx-55 processor, 22 inch lcd monitor. Upgraded from sli 7800 gt oc to one asus 8800gt. Maybe I missed doing something to get better performance...open to ideas.
