Comments: I had my doubts about this card, but now that it's in my Athlon64 3400+ machine I have nothing but great things to say about the X550 256MB card from Sapphire! Using ATITool 2.4 I've overclocked this card from the stock 400MHz core and 250MHz memory (500MHz DDR) to an impressive and stable 459MHz core and 276MHz memory (552 MHz DDR). Vampire Bloodlines, KOTOR, KOTOR2, Sims2, Freedom Fighters, Aliens vs. Predator 2, Advent Rising ... they all run perfect and with excellent performance (1280x1024 and 60fps easy). I don't see the point in paying more for cards that won't deliver much more performance. Excellent card!

Pros: - Delivered without cracks - Conveniently stored in my fridge - Durable exterior

Cons: - Always out of stock - Available in only one color - Only three eggs per package

Overall Review: These apparently cage-free, grain-feed eggs are simply fantastic, but at the "bargain price" of $41.11 for three, you end up spending more than $160 for a dozen eggs. I haven't tested NewEgg's return policy on these, but I'm hoping I can at least get a store credit on the one I didn't open.

Pros: The pros are simple, even with my 9950 BE Phenom running with multiple cores at 100 percent activity for several hours the CPU temps stay in the high 20s and low 30s on the Celsius scale.

Cons: Tall cooler will be too big for smaller cases. Fan is loud on maximum setting.

Overall Review: I purchased a Xigmatek HDT-D1264 as a cooler for my 9950 BE Phenom build, and that horrible heatsink couldn't keep the Phenom cool unless the CPU was just running idle. Once a single core jumped above 30 percent load the CPU temps started to rise ... and rise ... and rise until the temps reached above 100 degrees Celsius and the computer auto shutdown. I tried removing the cooler, cleaning everything, using different type of thermal paste, and all the results basically stayed the same (+ or - a few degrees). I replaced that horrible Xigmatek cooler with this ZEROtherm Nirvana cooler and the difference is like night and day. This cooler keeps the CPU ice cold. I'll never have to worry about overheating again.

Pros: Excellent game performance and DVD playback. No fan means one less noisemaker in my case that already has three fans pumping air in and out. I've been playing Sims2, KOTOR, KOTOR2, Vampire Bloodlines, and Tomb Raider Legends at high detail levels with perfect performance.

Cons: I can't get the GPU core temp to drop below 68 degrees Celcius at idle and it jumps up into the 80s after only about 45-55 minutes of playing a 3D-intense game. Not horrible, but I figured the temps would be better since I have a case fan blowing directly on the card. I imagine the temps without a case fan blowing on the card are even hotter.

Overall Review: This might not be the card for you if you play games at the maximum video performance level for hours and hours without stopping. I bet some gamers could probably reach the core slowdown temp of 125 degrees after a few hours of hardcore gaming.

Pros: Near perfect color. Excellent brightness and contrast yet blacks are very good. Screen uniformity is as good as my old CRT and much better than my LCD at work. As for the 8ms response/latency, it works very well for games and video though I'm not sure I like this monitor's video performance as much as my old CRT. No dead pixels.

Cons: Monitor stand isn't great. Default brightness was a bit too strong.

Overall Review: I'll probably buy a second one of these so I can have a dual monitor setup.

Pros: Low price High Performance Looks good

Cons: NewEgg sells two types of this RAM (one with a plastic logo on the front and one like what you see pictured here). You won't know which you're going to get until it shows up

Overall Review: Despite the fact that OCZ makes two types of this RAM both versions perform equally well ... they just look different. Buy this RAM if you're looking for PC 3200 and you'll be happy.
