Most Favorable Review

Highly Recommended!

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: A good solid board with plenty of extras. It Booted up with no issues. After that it was a simple overclock to 4ghz. As others have stated, the board itself runs very cool. My E8400 EO idles at 32C and under 50C at full load. I’m very pleased. Highly recommended!

Cons: Absolutely none!

Overall Review: To the previous reviewer, I used nlite to slip stream SP2 on my XP Pro disk and it worked fine. From my research I found that it is better to add SP3 after the install. E8400 (EO), G.Skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1000, Zalman cnps9700, Creative X-Fi

Most Critical Review

It's a gamble

Foxconn 6150BK8MC-KRSH / C51PVM06N2-6KRSH 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6150B(PV) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Foxconn 6150BK8MC-KRSH / C51PVM06N2-6KRSH 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6150B(PV) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Gigabit LAN and HD audio, plus onboard video (with DVI !). Price w/rebate.

Cons: The northbridge has a very cheap passively cooled h/s and gets extremely hot. The manual is terrible with very little detail. Ceretainly the worst I have ever read. As previously mentioned, no firewire and only a two pin power LED.

Overall Review: Worked great for one week! I was impressed in how easily this build was. Then the onboard graphics crapped out. Windows will not boot with the display driver installed. Anyone else with this problem? This probally is why after one week the onboard graphics crapped out. Windows will not boot with the display driver installed. Anyone else having this problem? I don't believe this board is durable enough to last very long.

Outstanding!

Cons: None!

Nothing but trouble

HP Officejet Pro 8000 C9297A Up to 35 ppm Black Print Speed 4800 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi InkJet Workgroup Color Printer

Pros: May work problem free for a few months, perhaps longer if you seldom use it.

Cons: When the printer decides it needs ink . . . it will not print. You have no choice in when to replace cartridge.

Overall Review: This is by far the worst printer I have ever owned. Definitely not recommended!!
