Comments: I order the card after researching found out they are pretty much all the same and overclock just as nice.(If you look at the pics, the PCB and the coolers are the same as many of the more expensive ones. The Jaton is an excelent card. The only poor thing about it is the packaging. The packing was 2 lousy pices of foam inside and the card was just rolling all around. When I opened the card a transitor rolled out. I can only imaging that its was from banging around in the box. Had to RMA that one back. The second one I installed that one was fine. Couldnt do my SLI now. With the second one is how I found out the OC was just as good as any of the more expensive ones.
Good little USB to Enet
Pros: Cheap, and finally able to connect my samsung 1.5t drive to the network. Got a Dir-655 with shareware, what a waste, shareware is worthless. But to the rescue this little device. Simple straight forward. Haven't messed with FTP yet, But setting folder's and permissions on this unit via login name and pass is straight forward and easy though SMB. Windows XP and up found the network unit easily. Have had 2 computer moving information to it for 2 days at once and not a blip. All files are intact.
Cons: Back up your drive first. This unit requires you to format to FAT32 through its software. Directions could be little better. 10/100 limits speed.
Overall Review: Cheap, and will hold me over till someone comes out with a unit that may work with read and write on NTFS drives with giga net for bigger faster trans speeds. 4 Stars- nothing is perfect.
Good for the money
Pros: For the coast a great card for an old machine or somewhat old machine with AGP.
Cons: None Iv seen
Overall Review: As far as what to put it in. Keep in mind 8x is better then 4x, but not by much. And the limitation of you computer bus, and proc speed are limiting factors.
