Much needed upgrade

CORSAIR Dominator Platinum RGB (AMD Ryzen Ready) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMT32GX4M2Z3600C18
CORSAIR Dominator Platinum RGB (AMD Ryzen Ready) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMT32GX4M2Z3600C18

Pros: Works perfectly. I was able to install the ram and set it to the advertised speed right away. Ram sticks are bulky but thankfully fit next to my top mounted radiator. I can see a noticeable increae in boot up and load speed. Ram is 600 Mhz faster than what i had and double the memory.

Cons: The only Con is having to downlaod another piece of software to manage the RGB.

Overall Review: I would deffinitley recommend for AMD systems with the Ryzen 5000 series CPU and X570 chipset motherboards.

Pros: Used this graphics card in a build for a friends computer. This thing is massive. It barely fit in the case but it did fit. My friend says he is able to play the latest game on the highest setting smoothly. I would recommend this graphics card to any of my friends.

Cons: Was a big card but not really a con.

Pros: I've used this particular wireless card with windows xp for over a year with no problems. I would recommend this Wireless card for anyone with a laptop.

Cons: The card will get warm after extended use.

Overall Review: If you make sure you have the latest driver for the wireless card you should have no problems with use of the card in windows XP.
