Excellent Memory

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Model BLS2K8G3N169ES4
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Laptop Memory Model BLS2K8G3N169ES4

Pros: Extremely fast notebook memory 100% stable in Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p

Cons: Pricey

Overall Review: My new Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p shipped with 8GB of CAS 11 DDR 1600. This was adequate memory, but I opted for CAS 9 when I decided to double the laptop's memory. This Ballistix Sport was more expensive than the other available CAS 9, but it was the only 9-9-9-24, so I decided to spend the extra money. This memory was not approved for my machine, but I decided to take a chance anyway to get the best performance. My Y510p recognized it immediately, and it has been flawlessly running Win8 and all my applications. The machine feels more responsive overall, and all my apps load noticeably faster than they did with the OEM memory. So far, no issues at all. If you have a Lenovo IdeaPad Y410p or Y510p and want to upgrade your PC's memory, you can buy the Ballistix Sport with confidence. Two thumbs up. :)

Great Buy!

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16Q-64GVK
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16Q-64GVK

Pros: Runs consistently well at 3200 GHz w/ XMP enabled Reportedly runs Samsung memory chips Price won't break the bank

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Installed the G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16Q-64GVK kit in a new build running off an ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 9, and configured the UEFI for XMP. No issue at all with running the memory at 3200 GHz in this setup. The new box has been up and running with a Win10 Pro OS for a couple weeks now, and is completely stable. The ASRock software reports that the memory sticks employ Samsung chips, which I consider a huge plus. This kit is a real bargain for those not looking for bleeding-edge memory speeds, and strongly recommended. I am very pleased.

Awesome Sound Quality

Velodyne vBold Over-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - Satin Silver
Velodyne vBold Over-Ear Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - Satin Silver

Pros: + Unbelievable bass response + Spacious sound stage + Comfortable around-ear cushions seal out ambient noise + Convenient headset controls + Built-in mic for phone calls + Extended listening capability

Cons: - Bulky for travel phones

Overall Review: I've owned lots of headphones from various manufacturers - AKG, Sennheiser, etc. - and these have been the most enjoyable of them all. I've used them for several hours at a time during on long flights without encountering any listening fatigue, as well as in hotel rooms to avoid disturbing the neighbors. They offer outstanding sound quality and do a great job isolating me from ambient noise. The headset controls are a welcome bonus, offering me the ability to skip forward and back, as well as adjust the volume. All around great phones. They are a bit large for use as travel phones, but their comfort and sound quality more than offset the size penalty. And once folded, they do fit nicely in the side pocket of my laptop case. I strongly recommend these Velodynes to anyone in the market for a set of comfortable, high-quality phones..

Nice Card

EVGA 02G-P3-1387-KR GeForce GTX 460 2Win (Fermi) 2GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
EVGA 02G-P3-1387-KR GeForce GTX 460 2Win (Fermi) 2GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: No problems running this card on either my old Gigabyte GA-EP45T-USB3P NON-SLI motherboard or my new ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution w/ nVidia NF200 - Both running Win7 Pro. The EVGA card showed up in Device manager on both platforms as two GTX-460's.

Cons: Some instability when simultaneously overclocking M-board w/ ASUS AI Suite II and video card w/ EVGA Precision

Overall Review: I bought this card last summer from another vendor who was running a killer sale when I was looking for one, but I do get most of my HW from NewEgg, so I thought I'd contribute a review while I was browsing the site today for a few other things. EVGA Tech Support provided me with the one trick necessary to get this card up and running on my old Gigabyte board. I couldn't get the board to post at first after I installed the card, even though I had unplugged the PSU from the wall to clear the interrupts. The EVGA tech suspected the board was still hanging onto its interrupts despite having been unplugged from building power, and had me remove the CMOS battery to completely reset the BIOS. That was the ticket, and the board posted normally afterward.
