Pros: Adds the monitor as a 3rd monitor to the display properties where you'd normally have 2. Plays video well but not great. You can mirror and even use as a stand alone additional monitor at the click of the mouse. Max resolution isn't near caught up to the monitors on the market currently. Easy to install and use! Get the most up to date drivers before you install. The ones that come with it are horrible. Plug and play is always a plus! Loads up just fine hooked up to a usb docking station and loads once the laptop is logged in. Until then it runs as a mirror. Got this for my work laptop. I needed more desktop realestate so I researched and found this. I'm now able to use the laptop minitor and a second monitor hooked up to the docking station in addition to this.

Cons: The USB cable that comes with it is junk! It's annoying and not very well made. Very cheap and seems to be more of a gimmic then anything else. I'd recommend getting your own usb cord to replace this one. the dvi to vga adapter is annoying. They went through great effort to make this device look nice and then package it with pathetic extras. The adaptor is gray while the device is black. Make them the same color and that would at least look better. The adaptor port is also on the side, not the back, so it gets in the way if you are trying to set this up to be able to see the blue led light it has. Both the port and the power should have been setup on the back and out of sight but are instead on opposite sides which makes it a tad hard to tuck away. this thing gets HOT if you aren't careful. I'd recommend giving it as much surface space to air as possible and also only that monitor for things that aren't constantly moving as this will increase the heat.

Overall Review: The device is the best out there and does a very good job. I've seen pictures with people using up to 4 of these. The extras it comes with are very cheap and sub-par for such an awesome product. If the company was smart they'd ditch the stupid carrying bag, the cheaply made retractable cord and the dvi to vga adaptor for something better. Get rid of the bag all together since this isn't a pair of oakley's and even if we wanted to show it off scratch free then why the bulky different colored adaptor and the placement of the port? This bag is useless and I'd rather the unit be cheaper without it. Include a decent usb cable since we all know how to deal with cords by now. Include a dvi to vga adaptor that is the same color as the unit, maybe something like apple's adaptor. And finally either remove the led light, as this might increase the heat, or put the dvi port and power in the back so that at least the light can be appreciated else what purpose does it serve?

Pros: Side blowing heatsinks are by far the best for quick cooling. This thing will keep your CPU as cool as possible with the max possible heat displacement.

Cons: This thing is LOUD! I have to use the motherboards power performance options to reduce the settings so the fan wont be so loud. Even then, it's annoying. Really heavy also. I woudln't recommend this for someone trying to make a quiet machine. Awsome for overclocked people who don't care about the noise.

Overall Review: Given that there aren't many am2 heatsinks to start, this is the best but with a horrible downside. If all you are using is a 65mm CPU then don't bother pluging the fan in.

Pros: None really. Nice to be able to have a 3rd, or more, monitor but the fact you really can't do ANYTHING with the addition monitor is rather disappointing.

Cons: Refresh rate on this is horrible. Anything that moves or has any motion is like watching it through a strobe light. Really choppy. THIS THING GETS HOT!!!!! Even when used for things that aren't moving on the screen this thing will BURN YOU. I can only imagine that the thing would melt itself should you require actually using the monitor hooked up to this. THe display settings are horrible and I don't udnerstand the purpose of creating this if it can't even handle anything beyond 1024x.

Overall Review: I am REALLY disappointed that they discontinued, or whatever happened, the +16 version of this because the +12 is not worth it. DO NOT BUY! I'd really recommend finding someone who is still selling the +16 unless you like wasting your time and money.

Pros: MUCH bigger then the picture leads on. even still, considering its size it is very quiet.

Cons: none

Overall Review: wish it was copper but whatever, that was me being cheap

Pros: had to have it for an old p4 chip/machine I was rebuilding because of a new motherboard. Wouldn't have purchased this otherwise. Considering I had to have it,, it was well priced and haven't had any issues but it is what it is,, nothing special

Cons: none

Overall Review: it is what it is and nothing more

Pros: very nice card and very cheap,, even before the rebate. card works like a monster and handles every game I've tried on it at max settings with little to no problems. temperatures have always remained extremely low even under high loads.

Cons: none so far
