PNY GeForce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card VCG6600GAPB
PNY GeForce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card VCG6600GAPB

Comments: l just installed it (coming from a fx5200) and the difference is mind blowing!! l went from struggling in 800 x 600 everything on low in BF2 to Med/High settings on 1024 x 768 and its silky smooth! Only negative l can think of now is the fan noise. My psu fan was barely audible but now this fan is all that you can hear. Actually there is another negative aspect to me buying it....l ordered it on the 22nd from newegg and starting TODAY if you bought it from the 23rd and on you get a $40 rebate...

Most Critical Review

For the Einstein below..

ASUS EN7900GT-TOP/2DHT/256M GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card
ASUS EN7900GT-TOP/2DHT/256M GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: The memory used is GDDR3, which like DDR/DDR2 is half of the speed indicated. Just like DDR400 ram actually runs at 200mhz, the advertised 1400mhz memory speed is actually 700mhz which is HOW ALL GRAPHICS CARDS WORK.

Cons: $350, $50 more then some others

Great buy!

G.SKILL 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory Model F2-5300PHU1-1GBSA
G.SKILL 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory Model F2-5300PHU1-1GBSA

Pros: Great deal! I bought this to install alongside the 512mb dimm that my E1405 came with. Windows now shows 1.5Gb of memory and everything is much quicker now!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I didn't know this so it may help some others as well. When installing a sodimm, you have to push it into the socket at a 45-degree angle instead of straight in. I found this out the hard way and almost fried my stick (wasnt in all the way, laptop wasn't booting). Then I read online the correct way to install it. You do not install this the same way you install a dimm for a desktop!

To the reviewer below me...

OCZ 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Laptop Memory Model OCZ25331024VSO
OCZ 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Laptop Memory Model OCZ25331024VSO

Pros: l plan on picking up two sticks for my 5672WLMi

Cons: -

Overall Review: Not sure if you knew but Hynix is the 2nd largest memory chip manufacturer, so don't call the memory sticks terrible without knowing the facts.

Intel Pentium D 820 - Pentium D Smithfield Dual-Core 2.8 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80551PG2800FN
Intel Pentium D 820 - Pentium D Smithfield Dual-Core 2.8 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80551PG2800FN

Pros: l don't know what the person below this review is smoking, but there are two lines of AMD dual core cpu's; and both work on socket 939 motherboards

Cons: Check CNET for a comparison of AMD vs. Intel dual core processors, the AMD won EVERY benchmark (in some cases the $300 X2 3800+ beat the EE Intel Dual core..

For the person below me...

CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWINX2048-3200C2PRO
CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWINX2048-3200C2PRO

Pros: Don't have it

Cons: Dunno l don't have it

Overall Review: All DDR/DDR2 ram supports dual channel, what decides if you can run in dual channel or not is your motherboard.
