Pros: Very Quiet even at 80 to 100% Fan Speeds. Full accessories kit for eventual Crossfire Configuration. It runs my previously problem game LOTRO at very high setting without a hitch.

Cons: Still Need to get Riva or ATI Tool to customize fan settings if you want to keep it out of upper 60 deg. C under load but it runs significantly better and quieter than my ATI Crossfire 1900XT.

Overall Review: Based on reviews I just installed it using the Catalyst 8.3 suite. No problems observed.

Pros: Nice feature set and solid sound for a low price. Small speakers that are very unobtrusive.

Cons: The Software goes to the Home page every time without a firmware setting to change the setting. More annoying is its almost 30 seconds before you can enter commands. So if I am running my DirecTV sound through the optical-in. I have to wait almost 30 seconds each time and then push the button to get to D-IN. The firmware does not let you change this behavior nor does it let you override the standby mode which would prevent this behavior.

Overall Review: It is ideal as a Blue Ray and Netflix/Hulu/Prime player that provides sound for a TV + player except for the Panasonic Software issue.

Pros: I had two 4850 in crossfire and this one card has let me max out my settings and still gain 20 fps, I mostly play MMO. Card runs in the mid 40s at idle and up to about 70 deg. under load.

Cons: While I am pleased with the cooler the fan starts to get noisy at over 50% fan speed. While 50% is sufficient to hold the temperature it does make me wonder about durability. I haven't looked to see if there is a wire or something that is actually causing the noise yet.

Overall Review: While it is at least 2 slots tall with the fan, it is a short card and cooler stack. This fit well because I have a gateway with a non-ATX motherboard and this allowed me to stay clear of the processor cooler.
