Fantastic
Pros: -Runs at least 20F cooler than my old 4870 -Uses at least 20W less power than my old 4870 -Much much more powerfull than my old 4870 -HDMI output, plus my TV supports Deep Color & xvYCC wide gamut :)
Cons: -It seems that supply has been lagging since the day one...
Overall Review: Got Nvidia?
What?
Pros: Same as the 8800GTS(G92), solid mid-high range video card.
Cons: It's esentially the same card as 8800GTS(G92), but with higher power requirements? Why would anyone pay extra $60 for it?
Overall Review: Really confusing this new 9 family...Maybe if they have added directX 10.1 support, or HDMI port, or maybe extra few stream processors...
Oh yeah !
Pros: -Comes with a sata internal connection kit (desktop bracket & esata cable) -When using sata copy times drop in half on large files -Price -Esthetically very pleasing
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: good old ext drive
Excellent product
Pros: Reads both HD DVDs & Blu Rays, I use Netflix & so far every Blu Ray disk (old & new) was read without any problems.
Cons: CyberLink ver 7 is the ONLY program that I was able to find that reads HD DVDs, I wish I had some options out there...Please post if you know any products that are better than CyberLink (low output volume is my issue with CyberLink ver 7...)
Overall Review: Worth every penny, considering that stan alone players are more $$$, well you need HCDP compatible video card & HDMI connection to your HDTV, if you already have requrements this product is to get !
I used to buy only Nvidia cards
Pros: Less $$ than nvidia, less power consuption than comparable nvidia cards. Running warhead on "gamer" (high) settings.
Cons: idles 10c higher than my 9800gtx...Also ATI's control center is little awkward comparing to Nvidia control panel...
Overall Review: Get it ! It's worth every penny :)
Good value for Wireless & VPN
Pros: -PPTP VPN works like a charm -remote management works like a charm -dynamic DNS is a lifesaver !
Cons: -IPSec between two of these units is unstable (I have returned 1 unit - purchased 2 originally), however happy that I was able to fall down on client PPTP to this router. -DSL's PPOe doesn't automatically reconnect after it looses conection.
Overall Review: I have tryed few other VPN routers, they are all ok...If you need VPN & Wireless you can't go wrong with this router.
