Great 1GB Memory Chips

Pros: Stable, fast, and worked immediately out of the box.
Cons: Not so much of a con but 4GB isn't going to be enough memory in another year or two.
Overall Review: Bought this for my Asus M2N-E AM2 nforce 570 Ultra. Have 2 of these kits to fill up all the RAM slots. With 4 gigs, Vista runs awesome! (Vista uses up a whole GB of the memory lol) At this time 4 GB is optimal or so I hear. 8 is ok. Going beyond 8 offers very little performance benefit for the extra $$ you'll shell out (2x4 GB cost $200)
Best AM2 board imo

Pros: Easy install. Recognized all components and worked out of the box with Vista 64. Great board layout! Stable, no probs yet after 6 months.
Cons: Expensive. Slightly dated technology (doesn't support Phenom, and only 1000 MHz HT).
Solid OS

Pros: Installed easily and no problems as of yet (6 months and counting).
Cons: Resource hog. OS uses 1 GB RAM.
Overall Review: Recommend install at least 2 GB for anything beyond light computing. My system scream with 4 GB, and multitask like a champ. Asus nForce 570 Ultra/4 GB G.Skill DDR2-800/2300 Mhx x2/8800 GT.
Good drive.

Pros: Inexpensive, quiet SATA DVDRW that comes with Nero 7.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Glad I got this thing. Installations and such will go a lot faster now.
Decent Case

Pros: Sturdy. 2x front USB/Audio. Included 120mm fan, case supports 1 120mm front and 1 120mm back. Front intake filter. Nice removable HD tray makes installing HD easy, esp with large PCI/PCIe devices.
Cons: Install brackets for 5.25" are silly--you have to screw the brackets onto the drive, why not just screw the drive into the slot? Power button is a tad touchy, seems a bit cheap. Some of the plastic holders for the PCI devices don't do a great job holding.
Overall Review: I opted for this case because it offered the minimum of my needs at the minimum price.
XTRAC PRO

Pros: Flat. Wide. Good grip. Good tracking. Looks cool.
Cons: None yet.
Overall Review: Only had this item for a short time so not sure about its durability. But the hard plastic surface seems like it could last for quite awhile even with frequent use.
