Pros: It works !!!

Most Critical Review

It's Vista, but it's not so bad after all!!!

Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit for System Builders
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit for System Builders

Pros: So I am a tech support agent and for a long time I have heard horror stories on Vista. But I decided to upgrade to vista anyways. I am happy for the most part, let's just say I expected worse. I am downloading updates 24/7 to fix their all ready obvious problems and everything has been good. I have installed a lot of my same programs I had on XP onto the new computer and tweaked it to how I would like it to be. I am happy... For now.

Cons: downloads updates then wants to restart and then as soon as I am back up and running it had more updates to install and then it's restart time again... Kinda annoying, but atleast it gives you the option to "postpone" restart

Overall Review: to get the most out of Vista use a duel core...period! and it least 2 gigs of ram

Waste OF Money

Mvix MV-2500 Ultra-Portable Media Center

Pros: The Idea that you can plug a device into your HDTV and upconvert files. Play a variety of files without having to convert them

Cons: First off the dang thing came in another language so I had to try to use the instuctions to figure out what was what... Still didn't have much luck! Also there isn't any sound. Mind you I am in tech support for a living I am no spring chicken when it comes to troublshooting this stuff.

Overall Review: If yuor comes in english, great... I would recommend using this device if you are traveling, have kids or you download movies from the net.

Linksys is Junk

Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE802.11n Draft

Pros: Works for a little while

Cons: I am a network specialist and have used many different brands of wireless equipment and I have to say linksys is a joke! you pay high prices for a device that burns out quicker then the cheap brands. I think a D-link or Belkin will last longer then these.

Overall Review: I recommend you buy extended warranty plan on these, caue they WILL fry itself (due to overheating) before a year is up and the plan is cheaper then a new gigabit router.

Nothing Special... But hey it works!

Pros: Nothing fancy going on here! nothing that implies it better then the average card :(

Cons: I replaced a onboard graphics card and to be honest I don't see much of a difference from the card I had already installed on the Mobo fromt start. I haven't tested anything like games yet, but have been trying to use my new HDTV tuner and I am not thrilled with the results. My monitor is meant for high def... But hey it works... Kinda

Overall Review: duel core processor and 3 gigs of ram vista ultimate

Works fine for me!

Pros: I installed it on my new Vista Ultimate and it sem to be working just fine. Im still excited about the fact I have a remote and can watch tv on my computer :p

Cons: None so far driver installed like a charm... Love it... I haven't figured out how to get high def channels of the qam tuner yet tho'
