Results as expected

Pros: CoD4 max settings - 4x AA FPS 120 - 80 (does drop below 60 in heavy action) Temps with stock cooling: Idle - 44C Load (min settings) - 56C Load (max settings) - 61C Fan control and OCing are easy. Fits well in a basic ATX case.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: I'm still not using this card to it's fullest. I have an EVGA 680i mobo which does not have a PCIe2 slot. This was an unwanted upgrade. It replaced my EVGA 7950 GT KO SLi set up when a buddy of mine spilled his beer on the cards while the case was open. Overall, I'm very pleased. This one card does better than my SLi cards. One less card is less heat and less watts. As for other people who had trouble installing the drivers, I have NO idea why. I went to the Nvidia site, I downloaded the newest 9 series drivers. I uninstalled my Nvidia display drivers. I shut my rig down, pulled the 2 7950s, installed my 9600, booted the system...told XP to go...well, to leave me alone, I'd take care of the new hardware...and simply clicked on the new drivers I had just saved to my desktop. One more reboot later, and the install was complete. No problems what-so-ever. As for the reported "loud" fan on this model card, I dropped one card, so this actually sounds quiet to me.
Who says this is "cheap" RAM?

Pros: This RAM is great, and what I believe to be the single biggest reason I had no problems with my MoBo install.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Say what you will about RAM, this set will work just as well as sets 3 times the price.
Perfect for me

Pros: Has more power then I needed, and keeps voltages well within specs. LOVE the modular cabling, saved enough space worth noting by not using all the cables.
Cons: None. I mean, it's not fancy with lighs and ultra violet if that's your thing....you WILL need a PSU with more power is you use a "higher" graphics card.
Overall Review: Supporting my eVGA nForce 680i SLi MoBo, eVGA 7959 GT KO vid card, 1 SATA HD, 2 DVD drives, 1 floppy drive, with 2 more slots open for power.
Handles alomst anything...

Pros: Runs cool and quiet. CoD2 X9 all setting maxed = about 60FPS average, can drop as low as 40 in a heavy fight.
Cons: I gave this card a good because I did expect it to "stand alone" a bit better for the price. In SLi, with a true x2 x16 MoBo, and I positive it would run anything thrown at it...it's JUST on the border of needing a "bit more".
Overall Review: I like the card overall.
It's going to be a while...

Pros: before there is anything better. I bought this CPU in January, and the price has only dropped $8...it's just worth the cash.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Before I purchased this CPU, I was an AMD builder to the core. For months I weighed the differences in price vs. performance. I read everything I could get my hands on to see WHEN AMD was going to "come back"...I now own an Intel.
Great MoBo

Pros: Very fast and easy to undersatnd set up. True x2 x16 SLi.
Cons: Early versions are very memory specific. Only 1 FDD connection for a total of 2 IDE devices, so if you still have old HDs, you might want to upgrade to SATA.
Overall Review: Lots of features for OCing. BIOS updates are kept current. I haven't had a single problem with this MoBo. Keep your drivers up to date. RTDM, and do your homework before you buy. It may have more option then you need.
