Great Laser Mouse

Logitech MX1000 931175-0403 Blue/Black 8 Buttons Tilt Wheel Laser Mouse

Pros: Great response and absolutely no hiccups whatsoever. It tracks fine, fast and smoothly on any standard surface (and even my "non-standard" pant leg while first setting it up). With the included adapter, you can attach the cradle to your standard mouse port and not have to use another USB connection. The initial charge time is only a few hours and you're ready to go. And if you're not a heavy user the charge will last almost up to a week (YMWV if you're a gamer/heavy user). Set-up is easy, just plug it in and away you go!

Cons: I've had a little trouble with getting the wheel/third button to function properly with City of Heroes, but nothing else has pooped up yet.

Overall Review: I had been skeptical of getting a wireless laser mouse. It seemd like too many variables in one package. However, I am extremely happy with the change. The freedom of no wires is great and the smooth fast repsonse of the laser is amazing. It was well worth the investment!

The Last Great AGP Card

BFG Tech GeForce 7800GS 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card BFGR78256GSOC

Pros: This video card is a real champ and performs excellently. With this upgrade I was able to play Neverwinter Nights 2 and reduce my load times on City of Heroes/Villains. The detail and frame rates are absolutely wonderful. Installation was very easy but that is also a function of the computer I installed it in. The software bundle is very helpful, but I would still suggest going to nVidia's site to get the latest drivers.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I finally was forced to upgrade my video card thanks to the steep requirements of Neverwinter Nights 2. Unfortunately my 4 year old computer had an AGP slot. However, this card gives my machine another year or two of life. If you are debating whether to make one last upgrade on your AGP machine, this card can make the difference.
