GIGABYTE GeForce 8800 GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-NX88T256HV1
GIGABYTE GeForce 8800 GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-NX88T256HV1

Pros: Overclocked out of the box but after running a couple days got this thing at 725-2000!!! 13200 on 06 test. Replace my 8800 gts 320 that got 12225 on 06 test. Overclocking HUD program rocks can even change voltage. Card running 45c temps. Zalman fan looks nice and works great.

Cons: ROFL

Overall Review: Got this on a 965-DS3 board, E6400 at 3.3 GHZ, Wintec DDR2 800 and Exclio PS. All my parts come from the Egg. Best place to buy IMO.

ASRock A785GXH/128M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock A785GXH/128M AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Cant list any since it didnt work

Cons: Sata port smoked when i tried to boot this. Live chat with Newegg said since there was a burn mark that i would have to deal with Asrock directly. All drives where taken from a working Intel system for test boot. So i am stuck with a non working motherboard and 70 bucks gone and now got to deal with an rma well maybe anyway according to what Asrock says. I am very disappointed.

Overall Review: Newegg has always given me great service. Been buying from them for over 6 years. I would think they would try to help me out here but i guess not. So i will have to buy my parts elsewhere.

OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P13332GK

Pros: Well thought it was a great price after rebate but rebate was denied cause they said the postmark was wrong!!!Sent it the day after I got the ram. Thought i had an extra week.

Cons: lousy rebate program seems like lying to me. Bad for business.

Overall Review: Great ram but only bought it for the price after the rebate otherwise would have bought different ram. OCZ just lost a customer but Newegg was great!

AWESOME

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 320-P2-N811-AR
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 320-P2-N811-AR

Pros: Got this card running with a e6400 set at 3.3 ghz, 2 gigs of Buffalo Firestix and card overclocked to 630-1900 and got 11693 on 06 test. Im HAPPY!!! Got 7100 on a x1950xtx on same setup.

Cons: not free?????

Overall Review: For the money best card out there and lifetime guarantee

SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100186L
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100186L

Pros: This is a great card. Running this at 655-1950 with a e6400 oced to 3.2 ghz on a Gigabyte 965-ds3. What more can I say it rocks. I have a x1900xtx in my back up comp. This is a little faster but both run about 70c under heavy loads. i wonder if some of those high temps are cused by not having the fan slot open in their cases.

Cons: Big Crd had to upgrade my power supply.

Overall Review: Ive had both Nvidia and Radeons and on all my gmes i noticed that at low frame rates the radeons perform better much smoother. I ply EQ2 and Vanguard both on highest quality settings.
