Pros: High quality, Price, Easy to install, Crucial reputation.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I installed this RAM in an old Dell Inspiron B130 laptop. This laptop now runs much smoother and faster. I really regret not upgrading the RAM in this laptop sooner.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I used this CPU to build a budget system running Ubuntu. It is running fine so far. I would buy this product again.

Pros: This is excellent RAM. It is reasonably priced. The bottom line is that it just works.

Pros: This is a good motherboard for a budget computer system. I had no trouble installing it into my computer case. The cables and other items that came with this motherboard were of good quality.

Cons: The instruction book that came with this motherboard was satisfactory. I wish, however, it had more technical data.

Overall Review: Installing a video card on this motherboard was a tight fit. This is my first time using a MSI brand motherboard. I am very pleased with it. I will consider using MSI brand motherboards in my future computer system builds. I would also recommend this motherboard for a first time system builder.
