Most Critical Review

Pretty awful

Rosewill RNX-G300EX Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128bit WEP WPA WPA2 802.1x, 802.11i, AES, TKIP with 100cm cable external 2 dBi Antenna
Rosewill RNX-G300EX Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128bit WEP WPA WPA2 802.1x, 802.11i, AES, TKIP with 100cm cable external 2 dBi Antenna

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install, very fast (well... for the short time it worked)

Cons: I have Win7 x64 and the card worked for about 24 hours then my computer would freeze/crash constantly until I disabled the driver. I tried disabling the hard-wired nic (in case that was causing a delay), tried changing the power settings for the wireless adapter (thought maybe that was causing it to freeze when waking up etc) and nothing fixed the freeze up and crash issues. At first it was just when I would boot it up or come back from sleep then once I got it working it would do so right in the middle of using my machine. It sucks.

Overall Review: Many said they didn't have issues with it with Win7 and it may not be a platform issue it could just be my particular card sucked but I am not going to let it give me any more of a headache. Just not worth it!! I hope it works well for others, but it was a real hassle for me.

Finally, a wireless card that works!!!

Pros: PnP and works like a champ... even at 1-2 bars (about 30 feet from router with thick walls) and once I'm closer it's even better.

Cons: I like to complain about things not working.. but this one works... what to do?

Overall Review: I have a Win7 64bit machine. Some said Rosewill said it doesnt work well with 64bit, but it's fine for me.

great board

Pros: Just a solid board, easy to control, powerful and liking the p55 chipset... it doesn't support USB 3.0 but that's about it...

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I'd recommend it

Pros: The contrast, colors and resolution are great on this monitor.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I'm not sure why someone would give 1 egg to a product regarding the rebate. That doesn't make any sense, this is a 5 egg product.
