Great

Pros: Replaced the OEM 60GB Fujitsu Drive in my Macbook. Installed easily, works great. If .you bought a Macbook with the 60GB drive, you'll want to upgrade it. Don't upgrade through Apple. You can save the stock drive as an external if you buy an SATA enclosure.
Cons: None
Great Graphics does not equal Game of the Year

Pros: Graphics, Graphics, Graphics. Weapons, character models, sound effects.
Cons: Very weak story. Music is average at best and not in sync with gameplay. The only thing tactical about this game is the duck and cover system you have to employ at "hardcore" and "insane" levels.
Overall Review: Purchased this expecting it to unseat Halo 2 multiplayer. Wow, what a disappointment. Single player story is sorely lacking (was there even a story?). The graphics are truly next gen and that's why the game is getting rave reviews. Other than the duck and cover system, this is just another generic FPS. Multiplayer is pitiful. Where's the tactical side of this game? This is just a human version of MechAssault. Just so you know I'm not coming out of left field, here are some of my favorite multiplayer FPS: Halo 1 & 2 (2's single player story was sad but nowhere near as sad as GOW), GRAW, Rainbow Six, Counter-Strike. Rent this game before you buy it.
Great

Pros: Installed one stick in my Macbook (new total of 1.25GB). Apple recommends matched pairs of RAM for both slots but benchmarks have shown very little performance degredation for unmatched pairs. Huge improvement in boot time and speed. Apps open and run much faster. 512MB isn't enough for the MacBook. Do yourself a favor and get it to at least 1GB.
Cons: None
Works great w/ NEC3520

Comments: Legacy has been very dependable for me. I've burned almost 100 DVD's using Legacy Media and none have been coasters. NEC doesn't have Legacy listed in their approved or recommended media list but no worries because these are awesome. Burns at 8x just as advertised.
Excellent

Comments: Installed into a Toshiba M35X-S149 (CELERON M 1.5GHZ) and works great, no errors of any kind. Toshiba's recommended replacement is Kingston. Forget it. Install this. Looks like from other reviews it works great in other laptops as well.
Comments: RMA'd mine as it wouldn't burn anything faster than 8x. Wouldn't bother me if this weren't the second samsung drive I've installed that's failed me. Not sure if it's bad luck or just bad quality control. I like samsung's other products. Replaced with Lite-On which is loud but reliable. Samsung drive was quiet.
