Good LGA 775 board

ASUS P5G41T-M LX LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5G41T-M LX LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board installed and booted right up with no problems. I matched this board up with an E6700 Duel Core processor and 4 gig of G.Skills Ripjaws DDR3 1333. I'm running XP so only 3.25 gig shows up. My primary use for this machine is desktop publishing and internet so I really didn't need a speed demon. But this setup is more than adequate.

Cons: None that I can see other than only 2 PCI slots and 2 mem slots...but I don't have any PCI peripherals installed anyway, and 4 gig of memory is more than enough for XP.

Overall Review: This seems to be a good, solid board for anyone looking for a 775 platform board.

Most Critical Review

Bose IE2

Bose IE2 Audio Headphones
Bose IE2 Audio Headphones

Pros: The name Bose usually speaks for itself. These buds are very well built. Very comfortable to wear, especially for extended periods of time.

Cons: I've owned and operated a recording studio and have produced music for almost 30 years. I've been a professional musician making my living playing music for 35 years. Maybe I am partial to hearing music as it is supposed to sound in the studio with a flat frequency response. These ear buds are FAR from having a flat frequency response. These things are SO boomy that I can't stand to listen to music on them. I have a set of cheap ear buds that came with my Palm cell phone that sound much truer than these.

Overall Review: I know that a lot of consumer audio equipment has a "bass boost" switch because lots of people like to hear the bass frequencies exaggerated to the point of thumping or being boomy. I did not purchase these buds from NewEgg. I got these ear buds for free actually....by using up my reward points I had accumulated on my credit card. Honestly...if I had paid for these I would have returned them for a refund. This is just my opinion from my own experience. Obviously others like them and that is great. They are just not for me, and if you are looking for ear buds that give a true representation of the music you're listening to, these do not fit the bill.

Pros: Larger screen size is easy to read. Map update works great. Hands free voice activation is well worth having.

Cons: Larger size might block some of your view if used in a smaller vehicle. This thing is the size of a small tablet...!

Pros: Installed it...turned on the laptop...and it booted right up. What more can you say...!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I got this for my HP Compaq Presario I got at wally world a couple of years ago. It only had 2GB of ram so this boosted me up to 4GB.

So far it works

Pros: This card reader does what it's supposed to do.....so far. We'll see how long it lasts.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: I have two other card readers, one external and one internal and both have quit working for no reason. The only thing that works on the internal one is the USB port. The external one doesn't have a USB port so NOTHING works on it. We'll see how long this one works.

It Works
