Pros: + Shipped with a Mediatek chipset! (B) + Only $20 + Speeds are accurate What else is there to pro about a DVD drive?

Cons: -The hardware is great, but I was worried about getting a NEC chipset when I purchased this. No fault on the hardware itself though, just a little more detail provided from newegg/manufacturer would be good

Overall Review: Not sure if all drives shipped from Newegg will have the model B chipset but mine did which is great for anyone looking to flash a custom firmware. Thanks Newegg =]

Pros: +Has room for overclocking +Temps are great & consistent +Speedy card for it's price $$$ +XFX Warranty is always great

Cons: -I dislike AMD/ATi drivers & software -only 1 dual-link DVI port

Overall Review: I came from an nVidia 8800GTS I bought years ago. I've become very familiar with the interface for nVidia drivers which is fluent and sleek in design. The AMD Catalyst driver interface looks like something someone programmed in their Intro to VB.Net class. It's functional, but clunky. Plus , for some reason, the drivers install with half-a-dozen other background processes that are seemingly unneeded for the most part. Also, had a few issues with setting up multiple monitors on this card. Took alot of finessing in the catalyst control panel for some reason , but after all of that - this card is amazing =]
