Good chip
Pros: Rock solid and fast. Runs multiple things at the same time extremely well. Can easily overclock, but I have no need to. Couple this with a Zalman 9700 in an Antec 900 case, it runs at 32 degrees under full gaming load.
Cons: It just might be me, but I was expecting it to be faster than what it is after coming from an AMD 64 3400+. It's fast, just not as fast as I thought...not necessarily a bad thing.
Overall Review: Going from an aMD to this chip, it has dropped my room temp by a good 10 degrees, lol! This was my first Intel build, and it just might have ended my AMD building from here on out. Great chip!
Blah
Pros: Cheap
Cons: You get what you pay for. Didn't support my AMD 64 3400+ even though it is a 754 chip (that the board says it supports). Come to find out it doesn't support my particular chip. False advertisement to a degree.
Overall Review: This was one of many things on my shipment from Newegg. Very fast processing and shipping. Ordered Monday night and had it Friday. Too bad the product was worthless...not newegg's fault.
Phenominal Gaming
Pros: 1) Large 2) Clear Color 3) No delay on High Res gaming 4) Can't beat it for the price...Newegg discount + email promo code = best deal I've ever gotten on a LCD.
Cons: None so far. Make sure to buy a DVI cable if you don't already have one.
Overall Review: Be prepared to buy 2 if you have a significant other...trust me...
Works great!
Pros: Rock Solid and smooth. Works with my ASUS p5n32-e SLI board perfectly...ASUS is VERY picky with their QVL on memory and this stuff works perfectly.
Cons: Nil
Overall Review: Will probably buy another pair in the near future
Simply Awesome
Pros: All of the above. I run all my games at the highest resolution and graphic quality with no issues.
Cons: It does run hot, but if you couple it with a very good case like the Antec 900 and put the optional side fan on, it runs at 62 degrees or lower (the side fan blows directly onto the card).
Overall Review: The 640MB GTS is the way to go. The GTX and Ultra is just paying the premium for not much more performance. I couldn't be happier.
Awesome
Pros: Cooling power and expansion space is ideal. VERY quiet for the amount of fans it has. Couple this with a Zalman 9700 and you have a CPU that runs under 37 degrees under full load of intense gaming. Have a 8800 GTS (plenty of room) in mine as well and it it stays under 62 degrees...simply awesome for a card that runs extremely hot. I love the blue hue it gives off from the fans too!
Cons: With the space comes bulk. It's a pretty large case and can get quite heavy...but the tradeoff is worth it. It also uses screws for everything (not a major problem)...so it's kind of like a step back in an era of snapin PCI expansion and HD case design. But no major issues.
Overall Review: Newegg, as always, got this to me on Friday after ordering very late the previous Monday night. Simply awesome!
