Pros: Fine performance for the price on a card that runs cool, 25c idle up to the 50's under continuous load for me. OC edition runs closer to reference performance than some people assume. And even though I've been pretty satisfied with both Geforce and Radeon cards for years, for me one "pro" of this card is not having to compromise on Physx support this time around. Currently running BF: Bad Company II, L4D2, Cryostasis highest settings@1680 res. with ease. I feel guilty for docking this great little card by one egg. People make jokes about the SE variant calling it "slow edtion" (or worse) but if you could avoid comparing it to the reference 460-GTX's you might think of it as a card that outpaces the 5770, neatly passes the 5830, is a contender with a 5850 or 6850 in quite a few games, frequently beats the GTX 460 768mb, and stays close on the heels of the stock 460-GTX 1GB , (usually within 10% or closer, especially at resolutions up to 1680x1050), but with a caveat.

Cons: Bottom line is that most users would be happier with a reference version GTX-460 1GB (preferably "AR" series if an EVGA), or even the excellent SC EE variant for very little cost beyond that. There are benchmark reviews if you google. On EVGA models "TR" means 2 year warranty vs the limited lifetime for "AR" models which don't cost much more. The factory OC on this card plus further OC potential are great but ultimately a number of GTX-460 models are available at or near this price that will have higher raw performance potential.

Overall Review: Here's the deal on "SE". What's gimped? Total number of CUDA cores & TMU's, but that's about it after factoring in the OC values. The GF104 chipset used in 460's consists of 2 GP Clusters with 4 streaming multiprocessors on each GPC. A reference GTX 460 has one of the 8 SM's is disabled. The SE variant has two disabled. This means 288 cores are in use versus the 336 in the stock 460's, and 48 texture mapping units are utilized versus the 56 on the stock models. Memory controllers aren't crippled though so this card has 32 ROP's, the same number as any 1GB 460 or 465 (more than the stock GTX 460 768mb version). At the very decent default OC settings this card frequently exceeds GTX-460 768mb performance, especially with higher resolutions where the additional memory is more utilized. Nothing wrong with this card if you get a great price, but a reference model will make more sense to most. Windows 7 64 Phenom II X4 3Ghz 4 MB DDR2 Antec EA 650 psu Nvidia drivers: 8.17.1

Overall Review: resubmitted

Pros: I got this to have a quick look at contents of a number of old IDE drives before discarding them. The product arrived this morning and includes exactly what is shown; a short SATA cable, a 6" 4 pin Molex to SATA power cable, and the USB adapter/converter cable device. It took a few extra days because of shipment from China, but that's understandable, and for the price I'm pleased.

Cons: I would not necessarily recommend it for SATA, and I already own an external box for SATA. The angle of the SATA connection on this adapter would be a bit challenging and tenuous in my opinion, but if I was in a pinch I'd definitely be glad for the option. My five stars are based upon acceptable performance PLUS quite inexpensive price, which may be subject to change.

Overall Review: My testing today included 7 IDE HDD's of various age and capacity that had been in a box in an unheated shed for over a decade, so my expectation was not high. I did connect power for each of these, and all of them did spin up. Four of the drives were successfully detected and I even successfully transferred several GB of data to better review it within my system before deletion. Two of the drives were never detected. Another was detected, but Windows reported a failure. In view of what I was testing I consider this device very satisfactory for this use and well worth what I paid.

Pros: Easy installation with my ATT dsl. Runs cool! Easy access to many configuration options. Runs cool compared to the old junk, makes all the difference!

Cons: No serious cons in my experience. To be honest, the automated setup for my existing ATT service did not immediately work, and the progress bar did not ever finish, but it apparently had made all the correct config settings as all I had to do after a restart was to enter my ATT user/pw.

Overall Review: I've used the old ATT "officially supported" motorola dsl modems for years, and there was nothing wrong with them for basic functions until they begin to fail as a result of RUNNING TOO HOT, which is almost a certainty unless you want to fan-mod them, not to mention that ATT overcharges for them and offers little or no choice in recent generation hardware at this level. I went through 3 of them and never abused them or left them in an unvented/warm spot. The long and short of it is, this unit runs cool, has performed for months now without a hitch, and the fact that it is so easily compatible with ATT dsl service at a reasonable price makes it a welcome alternative.

Pros: Seems to be a decent quality narrow fan at a reasonable price. I am satisfied with the two voltage options. Even though it is not necessarily a graphics cooling solution for every application, for me it is a fine alternative to original equipment (which we all know is often either priced beyond reason, hard to obtain or both).

Cons: It should not be specified as "Compatibility: VGA Card Processor" without clarifying the intended application. It can however be a very suitable compromise for many applications as long as you realize this. Also, don't expect to control rpm apart from the two options specified, which is also no problem for someone like me making a simple replacement to a mainstream card.

Overall Review: The fan on the ASUS EAH4670 graphics card I bought about a year and a half ago was starting to squawk at intervals, and I already had this and another fan bookmarked for consideration. I unclipped the original plastic fan housing from the card's heatsink and hack sawed the stock fan from the housing at the very lowest point. The fan is a tad on the heavy side for horizontal installation on this card, so I also removed the otherwise nice Zalman logo grill, then lined up the new fan to mark holes to drill through the plastic housing. 4 zip-ties finished the job and she clipped right back into place! I opted for the normal mode (2800rpm/12v) as even that is inaudible next to my system fans.

Pros: Rockstar finally issued a patch recently that seems to do the trick for me. I'm glad that I waited! I gather from recent posts on Steam forums that isolated issues are still possible, but I've been playing this several hours a day this week and it looks and plays beautifully. I fine the game itself fun and amusing with a lot of varied tasks to do and a lot of personality, certainly equal to the current discounted price. Rockstar usually produces quality games, and I consider the production qualities above average.

Cons: The controls are not that bad for what is typically a console game, but I am thinking of hooking up a controller to make things a little easier on myself.

Overall Review: The v1.200 patch addresses the following "Compatibility fix that will improve streaming performance, as well as a fix for random lock ups and crashes affecting 64-bit Windows with over 2 GB of RAM." Just google "Rockstar games bully support" You can get this for about ten bucks on PS2, but I just tend not to use my consoles. I'm a long way from completing this game, so I can't honestly say there will be no "game stopping issue," but as I said, at the current price I've been very happy with what I got.
