Worth the wait

Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.13 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6420
Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.13 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6420

Pros: Runs very cool. At least 10C cooler than my old p4 3.2 Ghz according to nvidia monitor and 20C cooler according to TAT. Now I can run everything maxed out with no lag or stuttering. Too fast to be real :0 Thank you newegg and intel.

Cons: None. May be the hsf?

Overall Review: I bought a 680i at launch hoping one day the c2d line would be cheaper. I was going to buy the 6600, but then I found out about the 6320 and 6420 with extra cache. I read a review @ x-bit labs and finally decided to buy this processor. I haven't overclocked yet, but those guys got 3.7 ghz out of this baby.

not so great...

MSI TV@nywhere Plus Tuner Card
MSI TV@nywhere Plus Tuner Card

Pros: cheap, easy to use, picture quality is ok.

Cons: terrible software! sound loses sync after 10 min no matter what source you use. The remote has lots of features, but feels flimsy and the shut down feature does not work.

Overall Review: you MUST download 3rd party software to get this thing working properly. I tried Christv and DScaler. Christv has many features but the picture has lines all over the place. DScaler has suberb picture quality, but it took me a while to get audio because the menus are confusing. Bottom line: install drivers only and then install DScaler. You will lose the remote functionality, but you will love the picture and sound quality.

My 1000HA loves it

G.SKILL 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory Model F2-5300CL4S-2GBSQ

Pros: Replaced the generic 1gb of ram on my eee pc 1000ha and it works perfectly. Timings are 3-3-3-10 @ 667 mhz

Cons: I had to wait 2 weeks to get this!!???

Overall Review: Newegg had this in stock when I ordered it. It took them 1 week to process my order and another week for shipping!? also, the price went down while i was waiting, i paid $25+ shipping and now is $21. Not really happy but whatever...

Great for the money!

SONY Cyber-shot DSC-S650 Silver 7.2 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera
SONY Cyber-shot DSC-S650 Silver 7.2 MP 3X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Pros: price, quality and functionality. The camera is actually smaller than I thought. Overall, this is the same thing you can find in the W series just without the rechargable battery.

Cons: no audio playback while playing videos even though there seems to be a speaker in the camera. You can't take pictures in high sensitivity mode while you are on the go(pictures will come out blurry).

Overall Review: The pictures are very sharp and with vibrant colors. No grainy pictures. The flash is perfect, long range and great quality.

FYI Mr. DSDS

EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: -C2D and C2Q ready -680i chipset with SLI -supports DDR2 800 and above -1333 FSB -good for overclockers -evga warranty

Cons: as an early buyer of this mb(bought it a week after launch), I got a lot of problems with the onboard lan, ps/2 ports,sound and many more... My old p4 intel and MSI boards were more stable than this.

Overall Review: Mr. DSDS says that overclocers are the ones having troubles with this board. HA! I am running everything at stock speeds. I did not have to read anything because I am having the same issues reported at the forums. You really think that we have no idea of what we do? The chipset is defective. No need to blame eVGA but nvidia. Even the asus striker is having the same issues. New technology always has problems, but sometimes it gets ridiculous.

uh?

Final Fantasy XI Online Van'Diel 07 PC Game
Final Fantasy XI Online Van'Diel 07 PC Game

Pros: hmm it's a game? It's FF?

Cons: a lot of cons.. first, the game will eat your social life!!! seriously, this game requires a lot of time and Im not willing to spend 3 years trying to get to level 75. Second, the monthly fee; I mean it's not hat high but c'mon there are better games out there without that. Third, No mature gamers!!! I'm tired of this pre-teen invasion to the game industry.

Overall Review: I'm not a casual gamer nor a parent. I spend a fairly amount of time and money on these things but this game is ridiculous. If you don't believe me, look it up by yourself.This is my first and last MMORPG ever.
