Pros: Fast processor for any applications I use. Great for desktop applications. Outperforms my overclocked 6420 (On air to 2.8Ghz) by enough that I consider it worth the upgrade. I have two from separate batches and had no problem with either. Install was a snap. Installed one of a MSI board and the other on a Gigabyte. Both boards are fine, it seems difficult to make a mistake here. I just made sure the boards supported higher wattage in the event (and it will happen) that I overclock the processors or unlock the cores.

Cons: Nothing applicable.

Overall Review: I do want to unlock the 2 cores if possible. I have one chip in my computer and the other in one of my sons. I have unlocked one, but it was not able to boot into W7. I did not try very hard, I just wanted to see that the Bios would do it and it did. There is more than enough speed with 2 cores and I don't use apps that take advantage of 4 cores at this time (Not many out there). 2 cores at 3.1Ghz running cool and low power is more than sufficient. I didn't overclock my 6420 until about 6 months ago and it gave it enough of a boost that it was fine for me, except the kids were complaining about the speed of their computers, so I have ended up shifting around a lot of hardware. These processors fit the bill and they are well worth it for the $100 you pay for it. I believe in buying the power you need today and overclock it down the road to extend your investment. This has worked out well for me.

Pros: The specs look good for the price It came with a lot of games - though Far Cry 2 seems to have issues. I will apply the update and see what happens. It works on the desktop LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY Now for cons...

Cons: I have brand new installs on two separate disk. One is XP 32bit and the other is Vista 64bit. I have contacted XFX starting Sunday night at 10pm. It is now 12 noon on Tuesday. Still no word. I called the phone number on their site and it says they are out of the office. It was between their described business hours. Can somebody tell me what holiday is going on today and yesterday? I posted the support incident because I wanted to demonstrat that I have been reviewing it often and tried to anticipate any questions they may have. I have chopped some of the information off to fit it in the "other comments". This seems like a pretty standard problem of try this, try that and yet not a word. Also, the times are for a different time zone, subtract 6 hours to get the real time. When I click SUBMIT it will have been more than 38 hours.

Overall Review: [ 4/27/2009 3:51:09 AM] The graphics goes "out of whack" when playing Age of Mythology. The 2D graphics seems fine. This happens consistently. [ 4/27/2009 7:27:34 PM] Update: I have installed the game that came with it and it goes through the entire setup, launches the game, goes through the setup section (with problems, but not show stoppers), goes through the movies pregame, and finially I got to be driven in the vehicle at the start of them game. I moved the mouse around and was able to see different things. [ 4/27/2009 9:30:26 PM] XFX 260GTX evga 680i SLI system board Patriot 4GB PC2-8500 Creative Labs Xfi sound card. I am looking for an update here. Let`s get the dialog rolling!! 4/27/2009 9:56:01 PM] XFX 260GTX evga 680i SLI system board Patriot 4GB PC2-8500 Creative Labs Xfi sound card. [ 4/28/2009 12:14:34 AM] Power supply of 600 watts with dual 6 pin connectors for video card. I am trying to be patient. [ 4/28/2009 4:27:19 PM] It has been over 36 hours

Pros: Good cable routing. room for 8 drives It feels solid like it should. I like the sound dampening.

Cons: Had to work for some of the screws to bolt in

Overall Review: I would use this again and again.

Pros: Worked perfect the first time

Overall Review: I order 4 - 64GB Sticks. Ordered another 25 for another system.

Pros: It works out of the box.

Cons: This is my fault. I should have read closer. It is 2022 and I saw Gigabit ports. It only has a couple of them. The rest are 10/100 and that is not a great thing for the size of data files these days.

Overall Review: Would be fine if connecting a bunch of dumb terminals to a RDP server and cost effective too. I kept it but may never find a use for it. The MSRP is over $1000? Maybe if it was out in 1997.

Pros: The performance has been great. Configuration was as expected. Management utility LAN is handy Many SATA connections. The 2 NVME connections were great to create the boot system

Cons: Mine were missing the NVME board brackets but contacted Tyan and they quickly shipped some without fuss.

Overall Review: I would use again. In fact, I am about to.

I clicked Purchase and afterward realized it was being shipped to my old home where I lived about 9 months ago. Contacted Newegg and they managed to reroute a few of the items. They tried to get Nemix to reroute but they could not. I did see a message from Nemix saying they were working with the client but I had never heard from them. I tried calling them a couple times and it was obvious they are not set up to receive calls. A couple days later I noticed I had a tracking number and the item was going to my old hometown. It was going to arrive on Saturday. I was still being told they put in an address change but I had my doubts. Fortunately I know the phone number of the people that bought my old home and while II had never spoken to them in person before it turns out they are very nice people. I told them there would like be at least one package that showed up on their door and one did. The Nemix RAM. I drove there on Saturday and picked up the RAM and it only cost me an hour and a half drive round trip and two hours sitting on their sofa talking with them. I did confirm the wrong address and I wish that did not happen but it did. The part I have a problem with is if you can't stop a shipment then say so. Do not imply it is going to happen. The least expected is answer the phone call. There were a couple days before it shipped out and so plenty of time to correct. At the least I would have liked to know that it can't be changed. Probably the uncertainty and no information was the most troubling. Still waiting on the Chassis to put it together so if the RAM is fine I am essentially fine. The odd thing about the Chassis is it was part of the same shipment with other items that did get rerouted to the right place.
