Most Favorable Review

Should Have 90-degree Connector

Pros: Less clutter than Nvidia solution

Cons: Short Inflexible Wont fit horizontally in most cases without bending near the connector

Overall Review: I was able to get this to work after bending it substantially near the connector. It did not appear to reduce the quality of the connection. That being said, with all the issues with the 12v high power connector, I would have preferred if this were not required for it to fit in an admittedly huge case. Still, it does provide a better solution that the NVidia adapter, in my opinion. My case is a Corsair D5000.

Most Critical Review

Unacceptable

Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PVS24G8500ELK
Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PVS24G8500ELK

Pros: price, except that I could probably get cheaper RAM to perform as well or better overclocked.

Cons: Will not post at rated speed at any timings, even if I boost NB voltage slightly. Inferior to other Patriot 1066 RAM available, even though those required custom timings due to the DDR2-800 timings in the SPD. They should put the timings for 1066 in the SPD, although in this case that wouldn't necessarily have been enough.

Overall Review: Had another 4GB kit from Patriot that required custom timings, but ran at 1066 on my ABIT IP35 Pro. I returned them and bought these, trying to save a few bucks. Not only are the heatsinks too tall (now touching heatsink on video card), but I cannot get them to post at 1066 at any timings. Considering returning them for a refund and buying some RAM that works as advertised.

Driver included does not work with WPA

ENCORE ENUWI-G2 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
ENCORE ENUWI-G2 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Prompt shipping and excellent communication from newegg, of course. Cheap with rebate. Functions properly if you don't use the software included with the device.

Cons: Drivers included do not connect to my wireless network even though I get excellent sognal strength. I'm assuming that this is because I use WPA encryption. If you have XP, don't run the setup program off the disk or XP won't be able to manage the device. I downloaded the generic SIS 163u drivers and it now works fine. The URL is: www.sis.com/download.
