Not Instant Switching

IOGEAR GCS24U 4-Port USB VGA KVM Cable Switch
IOGEAR GCS24U 4-Port USB VGA KVM Cable Switch

Pros: 45 inch cables (max reach) good for 3.5 foot each. Small size and simple to connect and use. Remote switch is a nice plus. USB device works well with XP x64, Win 7 and Win 8.

Cons: Slow to respond on Windows 7 while USB is detected yet reacts nearly instantly on XP x64. This could be hardware or driver related yet no other issues exist other that having to wait 2-5 seconds for keyboard when switching to Windows 7 system, the mouse and video are usually less than 3 seconds.

Overall Review: As with any USB device, it is released and again detected by the hardware/software when switched. My old KVM was PS2/VGA and was exempt from this loss/detection issue.

DOA ??

Foxconn K7S741GXMG-6L 462(A) SiS 741GX Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Foxconn K7S741GXMG-6L 462(A) SiS 741GX Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Was able to easily contact MFG for tehnical support.

Cons: This link may answer many DOA issues - this motherboard will NOT support most CPUs older than Athlon 2100. (ie. XP 1400+) http://www.foxconnchannel.com/upload/Compatibility/200606271024427474K7S741GXMG.htm (VERY POOR MANUAL)

Overall Review: Suggest adding the CPU support list for this board as it is VERY misleading. Great reviews from those that work (right CPU?)

Worked perfectly

RIITOP PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD to USB Adapter Card with USB 3.1 Type C and Type A Dual Ports (No Need Cable) for Samsung 970 960 series WD Black Intel Crucial NVMe M key SSD
RIITOP PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD to USB Adapter Card with USB 3.1 Type C and Type A Dual Ports (No Need Cable) for Samsung 970 960 series WD Black Intel Crucial NVMe M key SSD

Pros: Worked perfectly to clone and replace 512GB (nearly full) with 1TB drive using Type C port and was much faster than expected, less than 2 hours with free software suggested by the replacement drive mfg.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Excellent product. Highly recommend. Even for one time use, price was acceptable.

You never know

GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Great specs: From 16 GB RAM support (if using 64-bit OS) to RAID 0/1/0+1/5. Optical & Coaxial S/PDIF Out. Still supports LPT, Serial, PS2, and Floppy (even if in a bad location). 6x USB 2.0 & 2 x 1394a. And at a great price too.

Cons: Board 1: Spent 5-hours with Microsoft attempting to discover why windows XP sp2 could not update. Then discovered no secure sites worked. Used wireless USB Adapter & everything worked. 1-hour with Giga-Byte to determine bad controller on MB. Would only connect at 1000MB if forced to 10/100 could not obtain IP & manual configuration said connected but could not even ping the router. With a gigabit switch, connection speeds could be seen and helped isolate the problem, it would have been real tough without it. Board 2: Out of the box everything works. If I had no temp gauge on the North Bridge chip I would never notice the temp of 150F - DO NOT TOUCH (Board 1 was a steady 80F.)

Overall Review: System Specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz, 4 x 1GB PC2 6400 RAM, GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video, 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s HDD, 20X DVD±R SATA DVD Burner, 750W P/S, Windows XP sp2. I know I must be one of few, I actually had Microsoft call back the next day after getting cut off 5-hours into troubleshooting. I also had good communication with Giga-Byte (spoke english well). I had to RMA Board 1, I'm caling Giga-Byte about high temp on Board 2; will see what they say. System is FAST !!

TRENDnet TEW-444UB Wireless Super G Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 108Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Small size, activity light, easy to install.

Cons: Intermittent connectivity when it did work, 25 feet from router down hall with open doorways.

Overall Review: After 7 days - no light, no connectivity, unable to contact MFG. Should have purchased this from Newegg rather than local store...
