Gould be perfect but.

Pros: Unreal speeds. Made my old 3800x2 come to life. I just ordered a intel 6750 pc. But had I tried this card in my current pc before that I would have never ordered the new intel core duo 2 pc.
Cons: The stock fan does not cool the chip properly. In auto mode it idles at something like 29% and on my pc that is 64C. In Stalker I would play for about 5-10 minutes then my screen would completely artifact. I'd exit and reboot and it would happen all over again. I installed NTune and checked the temp and it was around 90C. But still at 29% speed. Obviously something is wrong here with the fan drivers. My card should not be artifacting stock.
Overall Review: With Ntune I manually set the fan speed to 50% and my temps stayed down into the mid 70's and was stable for about 2 hours of playtime. I'm gonna give it a few days to see if the artifacting comes back. I've heard that everyone with a 8800 gt is having issues like this. If the card doesn't artifact anymore it's a keeper. The speeds are outstanding. it smokes my 7900gt SLI setup.
Not bad but still some kinks

Pros: So far this card has been great other than one small caveat that hopefully I'll get a response from support on. I have a pretty fast system. Core 2 duo 6750 and a nvidia gtx260 video card 4 gig of ram on vista 32bit using a over the air antenna.
Cons: Everything works fine with the card until it records 2 hd shows at once. It doesn't happen everytime either. Randamly I'll get one show glitching like crazy. Not drop outs like a poor signal but just bad audio and video glitching. I've checked my antenna strength and it's solid green 6 bars I believe, the highest you can get. It's always only glitching on one show even though it's recording 2 at the same time. It happens on different networks as well and on one of my other pc's I have a hauppauge tuner and I do not see the issue if recording the same channel. I'm not sure if the card is defective or not. I have the newest drivers as well.
Overall Review: Please chime in avermedia I'd appreciate your tips.
Love this card

Pros: This card gives me glitch free hd in vista. Unlike my last ati offering.
Cons: The picture quality is darn good but about 95% of that of my tuner in my tv. It's a little darker as well. Still darn good though and in no way am I disapointed.
Overall Review: Ok I only use the HD tuner in Vista. I had some issues with my hd channels losing guide data and recording on the sd channels and other issues but they were all related to vista. Since then I have never tried the sd tuner in vista since I run 2 other sd tuners and this one hd tuner and things are perfect. I'm just too lazy to switch it all back. I'm sure the sd and hd tuner on this card will work at the same time but like I said when I had problems I thought that the card was the culprit and it ended up being related to vista not picking up my hd channels after a guide update. I fixed it and all is good. Very happy user.
Pretty sweet deal

Pros: This monitor is bright! Really bright. I wasn't expecting that. I actually had to turn the brightness and contrast down to below 50 to get it where I like it. Normally I have to turn it up on LCD's. The picture is very good and you get a lot of bang for the buck.
Cons: My model has some light seepage on the very top that is only noticalbe during black screens
Working great

Pros: I have 2 of these now. They work very, very well. THey are speedy quick and never get hot to the touch. The Alum housing is slick and bolted right together. It took all but 3 minutes to get it up and running. I've transfered huge amounts of data to a 250 gig drive in this enclosure without a hitch.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Good bang for the buck.
