Pros: Drivers installed/set up/ and running in two minutes. I didn't experience any driver install issues like some have had. XP SP2 did not auto-detect, but the included disc had the driver so this is not an issue. Fired right up after driver install...no problems.

Cons: The mini-disc was slightly used when I got it. Someone left their finger print. Call CSI!

Overall Review: I went the cheapo route with this one so I could hook up my GPS. Works sweet. Please note the bolt gender of what you're adapting. This one has male bolts as does my GPS cable so they don't lock together. If you're picky and need a device constantly connected, you may want to watch the bolt gender for a clean set up. It's a once week quick plug in for me so I went cheap and "modified" my GPS cable. Works nice.

Pros: Well, it's pretty. Readyboost (aka speedboost) is a nice trick. Direct X 10 is the future.

Cons: SP1? It's been a year and the world stage of testing guinea pigs has sent enough info to the evil empire to have this Vista junk sorted out. There should a real nice SP1 fix in our Christmas stockings...but nooooo! Beta, please! Fix your junk BG! Vista is pretty like a hot chick, but then she opens her mouth and has an annoying/screechy voice...best viewed from a distance. Approach with caution.

Overall Review: Never Ever buy a product on first run. My main system is still XP. The two "toys" run on Linux and Vista for R&D and tinkering. I have an xtra unopened vista box holding up the short leg on a table...

Pros: Pulls down every signal on the block. The USB cord is nice for putting it whereever you want.

Cons: Not really a con, but it is very tall and not invisible. Hide it behind a house plant if you're picky. It's not plug and play but driver install was straight forward. No issues.

Overall Review: Been running this almost two years. Two story house, a one story house, close to source and completely opposite side of the house from source... no issues. Contrary to what some say, no issues under Windows 7 64 bit. Works great. Make sure it's plugged in to the base all the way! I goofed that once.

Pros: Pretty. Speedboost. DX 10 Rating is based on COST vs. what you actually get. Performance is actually about a 3.5.

Cons: SP1 Beta tease after a whole year? Please. I guess if you let the world be your guinea pig you can save a lot of money on R&D. Vista is pretty like a hot chick with an annoying voice...view from a distance, do not approach.

Overall Review: Don't look now but you just threw away $xxx bucks on a shiny black box. The main system is XP. Two "toys" run on linux and vista for research/troubleshooting.

Pros: Dirt cheap and REALLY Quiet. I work on jets, the quiet at home is nice. With the speed run all the way up it's audible but surprisingly quiet. Turn it down and it disappears.

Cons: None. It's sweet cheap and works but someone out there will still complain. It's a cruel world.

Overall Review: Very minor issue...My fault...I searched for a RED fan and that's exactly what I got...I should have paid more attention. I meant to get one that lights up red to spice up my sons case. It's got a Red fan, not red lights. May bad.

Pros: Not bleeding edge technology but a heck of a lot of performance for cheap. AM2 boards should be good for a while. Nvidia chipset...nuff said. Minimum set up time in action with no fuss.

Cons: Jumper & Overclock documentation sparse. Not a real "con" but may cause problems if this is one of your first builds. Do your homework before you play around. :)

Overall Review: Great product and performance for this price range. Stuff on this board: 2 Gb Adata DDR800, Wester Digital HD, Athlon 64 x2 3800, XFX 8600GT 256 DDR3. Yep, it's low end but it's cheap and works great.
