SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3650 512MB DDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card 100258L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3650 512MB DDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card 100258L

Pros: Bought this card a while back. Nice packaging, every thing you need included disks, cables, instructions. I installed my blu-ray player/burner ran flawlessly with a blu-ray disk. Computer didnt even flinch running it. Does everything ATI/Sapphire claims it does. It would be flawless if it wasnt for the driver issue I had ( look at Cons). Fast Delivery of Newegg as usual.

Cons: Had an issue installing hotfix 9.8, 9.9, 9.10. Kept wanting to install drivers for a Visiontek Radeon HD 2600 xt AGP. The work around is allowing the install to go thru. Then just go back into the driver via start>control panel>performance and maint>system>( under the hardware tab)Device manager>display adapters open the drop down menu. Now right click and select properties, update driver. Install from specific location (click next), now select "DON'T SEARCH" I will choose the driver to install etc. Then choose Ati Radeon 3600 series let the driver install itself restart and your done. Lost 1 egg due to poor tech support on Sapphires side.

Overall Review: I should have just built a new PC instead of buying parts for an old AGP system. You can get a better PCI-E card for as much or a little more than the worth of this card ( food for thought) Anyway, its a nice purchase if you want to get the most of out your aging AGP mobo. For the price its worth it I guess. Overclocking your PC will help with Frames per second too.

Pros: Great modem. I bought it on the account that people were getting better download speeds and by the speed tests it is much better! I went from about 19-21 Mbps to 30Mbps. Fast delivery by the way! ( got a free month too from TW for turbo so now its upto 40Mbps hehe)

Cons: Had a bit of a rough start getting it to work, called CSR @ time warner to provision it and they couldn't get it to connect. The call got dropped so I had to call back and we got it to work on the second run. A little bit harder to get it to warm up to the connection though than the normal modem timewarner provided modem, but for the download speeds I don't mind spending an extra 1-2 minutes getting it to work from being completely turned off.

Overall Review: The fact that one of the receives LED is solid blue rather than green concerns me, not sure if its meant to be that way or not? Anyway, it works! So I can tell ya that its download speeds are better than what I was paying for with the modem Time warner provided modem. Good luck!
