Great system memory

Wintec AMPO 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AMD2667-2G2K-R
Wintec AMPO 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 3AMD2667-2G2K-R

Pros: works great for windows vista, got a 5.5 for the memory score. Runs all the games smoothly..

Cons: I notice some slow down for some games, i didnt have with my other system memory. from a scale of 1 to 10 i would gave it a 8.3

Overall Review: Its not the best memory for gaming, "i guess you get what your pay for" anyone still deciding "GET THE SUPER TALENT ddr2 pc5400" has lower latancy and a better deal/price.

Most Critical Review

Not for gaming..

PowerColor Radeon HD 4650 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Low Profile Ready Video Card AX4650 512MD2-LH
PowerColor Radeon HD 4650 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Low Profile Ready Video Card AX4650 512MD2-LH

Pros: Speechless.

Cons: This video card is definitely not for gaming. It wouldn't even handle Street Fighter 640x480 res. Very Choppy trying to play 1080p and 720p movies.

Overall Review: this DDR2 version is a completely different video card compared to the DDR3 version, they should name it something else.

9600gso for media center pc

ASUS GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card EN9600GSO/DI/512MD3/V2
ASUS GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card EN9600GSO/DI/512MD3/V2

Pros: This video card has the best price and performance overall. I run Street Fighter IV at 1320x960 res. and Need for Speed - Pro Street at 1024x720 with 2x anti-alisa with everything high.

Cons: I found that nvidia video card video play back quality isn't as good as ATI video cards. Especially when you play 1080p movies.

Overall Review: So you your in to games then the 9600gso for the price range would be your best choice, and if you in to movies then the Radeon 4670 ddr3 is very close to its performace with better quality video play back.

Good stuff

COOLMAX V-500 500 W ATX12V Non-Modular Power Supply
COOLMAX V-500 500 W ATX12V Non-Modular Power Supply

Pros: its a very good price! got it for free after mail-in rebate thats cool..

Cons: The fan in the power supply is pretty loud compared with other brands with dual fans.

Overall Review: got it because its ATX 2.0, got most of the plugs from sata, pic-e, cpu, mb.

Really nice card for its price!

SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950PRO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100176L
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950PRO 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100176L

Pros: I had no problem running CnC3 at 1200x1024, and ultra high quality, but no AA. Has the best performace + quality for the price.

Cons: For windows vista it does goes black screen in some games, then i had to restart my computer. perhaps its the driver problem or the overheating on the card.

Overall Review: This card is awesome, but don't expect it to use for 24/7 gaming. For Vista user, this card is a DX9.0c card and you do have to manually DX9 for vista for alot of games to run.
