fine, good price
Pros: running Windows Vista Ultimate and the card works fine. clarity and color is good. no visible lag. it's ok by me!
Cons: do not use the drivers (for Vista) on the cdrom. for that matter, don't even use the one from the XFX website. ***this is what i found*** windows will disable the driver and the Aero environment will be gone. seriously, don't.
Overall Review: the driver installed by Windows Vista (from clean install) supports the GeForce 6200 and Aero environment. would not recommend less than 2 GB ram running vista. windows vista ultimate - nice os.
a good starter hdtv
Pros: easy assembly, light weight for its size, plenty of inputs, compact remote, nice color and brightness, everything works
Cons: uneven backlighting, VGA connection has ghost image, 1080p isn't as sharp as expected, dead pixel
Overall Review: This is a good starter HDTV. Good for TV shows, sports and as a PC monitor (like right now.) An avid movie buff should avoid this because of the uneven backlighting. The lighting hot spots are obvious in dark scenes. If you watch movies and don't use the TV as a PC monitor, consider a plasma. The VGA connection has an impedance mismatch somewhere. Could be the HDTV, my laptop, or the cable. However, the laptop HDMI port looks great on the HDTV. This is what is being used now. Something about the 1080p mode bugs me. Seems a little fuzzy from what I'm used to. The dead pixel shows up as a continuous red dot. It's on the very edge of the bezel in the upper left corner. So, it's not really an issue. The uneven backlight and fuzzy 1080p knocked two eggs off. Using: brightness-25 contrast-51 color-69 tint-R1 temp-WARM
Worked like a charm
Pros: - XMP profile used. - Immediately recognized by system.
Overall Review: Very glad about this purchase. - MB with B550 chipset - Used along with Ryzen 7 5800XT
Nice Compact Case with PSU
Pros: -short depth and not to big overall -light weight and easy to move around -PSU with fitted cables (great) -PSU has good amount of power for basic desktop -mostly toolless design -hidden cable routing -good fan for basic airflow -decent drive options (3-2.5", 1-3.5" with slide) -top front connections and PWR -magnetic dust filter (top) -hardware included (black)
Cons: -prefer a magnetic PSU filter not a big fan of the slip-in type
Overall Review: Good option to build a very nice desktop PC. I would purchase this product again. An optional mod would be a transparent cover for those that like to show-off the internals of their build.
new to ASRock and like it
Pros: -nice layout -plenty of fan connections -good chipset and BIOS design -good set of drive options -plenty of RAM options -OC options -looks good
Cons: -n/a
Overall Review: -would recommend this product (COMBO #4729748) -I would purchase again
Working great!
Pros: System's motherboard BIOS was updated to the 2024 release. There was a different processor in the MB (A520M PRO) at the time. Ryzen 3 was installed and no issues with start-up. Although, it booted a few times to make adjustments. As a general desktop, the system flies. It is being used to write this review.
Cons: There was a time when the BIOS and Ryzen CPU had to be matched correctly. That looks to be resolved with the latest BIOS releases.
Overall Review: Good general-purpose processor. You get 4-cores and 8-threads (on the box.)
