Pros: - Easy to find SiL3114 drivers - Drivers can be sideloaded to a windows XP install - Still good enough to make a dirt cheap 120/8GB SSD worth using for a 'retro'ish Windows XP install - Pretty workable for use on some older hardware. - SATA I over PCI is still enough to make booting OS's and loading games fast as all hell with aforementioned dirt cheap SSD

Cons: - Have to sideload drivers to a WinXP install, but I get why - Uh, it doesn't work right if it's not mounted properly on my strung together wicker test bench? - Only SATA I spec, and PCI bus limited, but you're not transferring multiple gigs of data anyway - Maybe a SATA II spec would be better? At least maybe in a single drive application

Overall Review: I used it to have a chance at properly adapting a cheap SSD to a salvaged Compaq AMD Socket A system, With a 2.1GHz Barton Core, 512MB PC100/133 mismatched, the compaq mobo based on some nforce chipset but severly limited, an MX4000 (Unfortunately it's the 128MB version which sounds nice but is really debilitated by the 64-bit bus instead of the 128-bit you'd really want), and my cheap SSD is a 128GB Silicon Power A 55. I didn't get to play many games a significant amount of time, but booting and running Need For Speed: Underground 2 was absolutely snappy and flawless. If you're just needing An SATA Adapter, then this is just fine. Eventually I will buy 4 matching cheapo SSD's and see how bad it's bottlenecked by the PCI bus more than the SATA I spec, but that might be a while

Pros: I really don't like the Radeon 9 series, to me, they suck. But at these prices, there good for low end gaming, nothing fancy.

Cons: The clock are horrible compared to what ATI could have put out. A few of the prices are a bit weird. xxx$ for a 9550 but only xx$ for the 9800.
