I would call this a 720p card

Pros: HDMI - Works with sound in windows and Linux. Videos - does a great job rendering. see below. Games - very surprised. Actually plays all my games above maxed. Quiet - Exceeded expectations. see below. Overclockable- can overclock and card runs at 20% power when not in use. Powersaver - at load uses <50 wats.
Cons: Did not look as good as my old nvidia on my plasma TV. 1080p barely played optimally. sometimes slipped below 30fps.
Overall Review: Im not a gamer but it was nice to see that supreme commander maxed no lagg. Tested HL2 Lost coast and achieved 90fps. Unreal3 demo starts to get round 28 fps. Fallout maxed just fine. Tested AVI and H.264. AVI played faster than b4. for h.264 i noticed played faster. Apple /trailers: tested 1080p found loss of frames. overclocking helped but were talking bout as low as 25 fps at some times. Im one of those guys that must have a silent or close to silent computer and this card exceeded my expectations. The good outweighs the bad. perfect card for me. Feels like it will last. Machine: Intel Pentium D 930 2GB DDR2 ram windows VISTA 32bit. Ubuntu 8.10
To slow for ubuntu flash drive

Pros: Small, sturdy, affordable, good brand.
Cons: slow. maybe not slow for storing files but to slow for running an OS on it.
Overall Review: I gave it three eggs because I bought it for booting Ubuntu and it is sub par. Im not to sure if there is a faster usb flash drive. All I can say it I can't wait for USB 3.0
Perfect board for my needs

Pros: boots pretty fast ~5seconds emailed biostar to ask because the bios screen is gone in about two and the "hardware monitor" screen disappears in 3 seconds. there is a driver for the HDMI audio so i think if you bought a converter then you would have sound and video. plays battlefield 2 maxed on a 1680x1250 monitor fine. blue ray tested perfect. HD apple trailers perfect.
Cons: not 8 channel audio no external sata or firewire
Overall Review: Gave it 5 eggs instead of 4 because it does everything I want it to and got it practically for free with the phenom II 940. Bought the GSKILL 1600 ram too btw, no complications. Apparently has raid but did not test
Best hard drive yet?

Pros: Very fast. I backed up my 320 gb backup in like 80 minutes. it was transfering in vista from one SATA to its self at an average of 46Mbps.
Cons: Costs a lot. Its a good deal for a terabyte tho.
Overall Review: I bought this drive because it has 32mb of cache. seems to be very helpful. Em going to see if there is a firmware update I can perform on it and all my other drives. ...I'm not sure why I haven't done that yet : )
Good Stuff

Pros: Came three days after I baught it. ten dollar mail in rebate from newegg.
Cons: Wish i could have baught more but i dont need it.
Overall Review: have not done a memory test yet. baught for my macbook 1.2GHz Core 2. With an intel GMA like 940 or 50 watever. If your chipset is not conroe supposedly your computer will recognice 4gb but will only use the mathematical max of 3.3; or wateverGB
no PS3 and 19" LCD

Pros: apparently carries a signal. when plugged into my ps3 and monitory my monitor blinks clearly chaning the resolution but none of the playstation resolutions are workable.
Cons: my 19 inch LCD wont work with this. its not a widescreen so i have no idea if that has something to do with it.
Overall Review: I think ps3's like tv's. hey that rhymes!
