SAPPHIRE 100252HDMI Radeon HD 4550 512MB 64-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Low Profile Ready Video Card - Retail

Pros: Excellent Performance in HP Slimline s3300f. Ended up buying an additional unit for a second HP Slimline s3300f. The HD4550 employs an oversized heatsink and has no fan, so no noise. Exceptional image quality for text, photographs, video, and movies, but I am not a gammer, so I cannot address that feature.
Cons: Runs warm, 72degrees centigrade, so I added a 12 volt 40 mm fan to chasis case with silicon attachment pins, directly across from HD4550 heatsink, and set it to run at 5 volts instead of 12 volts, so no noise and a 36 degree temperature drop.
Overall Review: The board draws 25 watts at full load, and has HDMI, DVI, & D-Sub connections. A great product for driving 2048 x1152 high density/high resolution monitors:Samsung 2343BWK. Do not use fan pinout on video card, unless an ATI fan for that board is used, else too much current draw, and the board may be damage. I draw current from a 4 pin molex.
Patriot Xpress 32 USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Pros: Extraordinarily fast and reliable. Noticeably superior read & write speed over my USB 2.0 flash drives. The 32 GB size is a significant bonus. Never lost data. It was unknowing left in my pants pocket when my pants were washed and dried in a commercial washer and high temperature dryer. That was over three months ago and still no problems and no loss of data. It still works as new.
Cons: None
