Works great!
Pros: Very easy to install, immediately recognized by motherboard, absolutely no problems - and pretty color!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Installed on ASRock ALIVENF6G-VSTA AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 or 6150SE / nForce 430 (Depend on the version) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
One stick failed after 4 months
Pros: Looks great, works well when it works. Currently very reasonably priced after rebate (I purchased when it was nearly double the current price).
Cons: One stick failed after 2 months.
Overall Review: We bought in Aug, and by Oct my dad's computer wouldn't boot. I was helping him troubleshoot long distance, and resorted to purchasing a new motherboard to resolve. When that didn't work, we got a new CPU. That didn't work, and when I came home for thanksgiving I started playing with the RAM - discovered that using alternate RAM resolved the problem. Then narrowed it down to the specific stick that is the problem. Considered sending back to manufacturer, but at the current price may as well purchase a new dual channel kit, and then have an extra stick as backup in case of any other failures. Other reviewers aren't having difficulty, so I'm hoping my issues are just one of those flukes.
works!
Pros: Works well, installed easily and immediately recognized by OS. I have to say though that my favorite thing about this RAM is the pretty heat spreaders!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Using MSI K9A Platinum AM2 AMD 580X CrossFire ATX AMD motherboard.
speedy!
Pros: Very noticeable difference in speed from old single core processor. Very reasonable price.
Cons: None
Overall good case
Pros: It's a sleek, nice looking box - good if you prefer something a bit more austere, without the flashy gizmos. Components installed easily, two case fans were nice. I chose this case especially for the audio and usb ports on top of the case.
Cons: I didn't expect this case to be so large and heavy. It's sturdy, I'll give you that, but it's a bit too hefty for my taste.
dual core woohoo!
Pros: Much faster than my old single core processor, there is a noticeable difference - and at the price there is little excuse not to upgrade
Cons: None
Overall Review: Installed on MSI K9NBPM2-FID
