Pros: This is definitely a good, high end card. Now that the updated Catalyst drivers are out, previous support issues are not as much of a problem. Runs Oblivion with everything turned on perfectly indoors, though with some noticeable slowdown in heavy areas.

Cons: Does run hot, but it's because of the very low default fan speeds, which Catalyst Control Center won't let you change. Also probably one of the last DirectX 9 cards, so the XTX may not be worth the price as perhaps the PRO version. The card can also be on the loud side under load when the temps get high.

Overall Review: The card idles hot because the fans are set to a pitiful 13% by default (as checked via ATITool). Setting fanspeeds can be done via 3rd party software, but I feel that it -should- be allowed in Catalyst.

Pros: For the capacity and speed at this price, this card is an incredible deal. I've been using it to run homebrew and programs on my Nintendo DS using a Slot 1 flashcart and have had no problems whatsoever.

Cons: None at all.

Overall Review: I haven't tried doing certain operations related to the FAT filesystem which have allegedly resulted in corruption (e.g. DSorganize's reading/writing) so you may want to do a bit of research on your own. I have not heard anything negative about this card however, and you still can't beat this card on value.

Pros: The monitor itself came with zero dead or stuck pixels, and is capable of being REALLY bright if so desired. Backlight bleed, while present, is not bad at all. The price is right for a monitor this size.

Cons: There is a lack of height adjusting features which are present in other monitors of similar size/price. The buttons are awkwardly placed on the side which, while it isn't a really bad thing, gets a bit frustrating when you have to adjust things. The movie/photo presets don't really help anything and you can't save your own settings.

Overall Review: From my understanding, LCD monitors don't really stretch non-native resolutions like CRT monitors do, and this is no exception. Make sure your graphics card can play your games at this monitor's native resolution.
