Works Great!

Wintec AMPX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AXT6400C5-4096K
Wintec AMPX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AXT6400C5-4096K

Pros: Comes with heatsink, easy to install, motherboard detected all 8 gigs (I bought two of these), price is pretty good ($76.99 each)

Cons: not the best for overclocking

Overall Review: Got this with an intel 2.4 Ghz quad-core OC'd to 3.05 (very stable I could easily push it higher) computer runs so much better with multi-tasking and I can render video much faster, next upgrade will be a video card

Most Critical Review

Hey, at least it's cheap...

Archos - 14 Vision - 4GB MP3/MP4 Player w/ FM Radio (501509)
Archos - 14 Vision - 4GB MP3/MP4 Player w/ FM Radio (501509)

Pros: - It's pretty cheap! - Plays music - Small - Decent battery life

Cons: - Poor controls and no hold button (buttons get pressed in my pockets) - Lint and dust has gotten behind the screen - All of the labeling has been rubbing off. - Occasionally freezes and restarts (usually accompanied with loud static; it's really unpleasant) - Power button doesn't always work - Shuffle feature randomly picks a song on the event of clicking the next button as opposed to generating a random playlist order; i.e. if you skip past a song you wanted to hear on shuffle, you can't go back to play it. - You cant go Artist -> Album -> Song. You can list only by artist, album, OR song.

Overall Review: I'm usually a fan of archos; they generally have well constructed, solid, linux-run media devices. It's great that this was so cheap, and I DO still use it, but if you want to do anything other than listen to songs, get something else. If you just want a cheap mp3 player like I did, it's still alright.

Best CPU for the price

Pros: Very fast, 64 bit, easily overclocks past 3 GHz, 4 CORES

Cons: nothing considering the price

Only for Vista

Pros: AMAZING!

Cons: err.. none?

Overall Review: someone said that it isn't vista ready, this is one of the first GC's that can do directx10, which only works on vista.
