Pros: High memory throughput, socket AM2, SATA3, and support for 4 PATA devices,

Cons: Has very strange quirks, for one, its unstable when using a 24-pin power connector, so use a 20-pin power connector, the chipset gets rather hot, and not much overclocking

Overall Review: At first I was frustrated at this board, it would past POST but would hang afterwards, I did some searching and found out that the motherboard can't quite handle 24-pin power connectors, but im sure with a BIOs update it will support 24-pins

Pros: HDMI 1.3, a 1:1 pixel mapping mode, ASTC QAM tuners, supports the Blu-ray standard of 1080p/24hz also supports 30hz and 60hz for 1080p, tooless assembly for the tv's stand, as built in deinterlacing hardware, also supports low black levels 0-255 on both the YCbCr and sRGB color standards

Cons: 16:10 ratio, native resolution: 1440x900, so it scales down 1080p content, and worse, scales up 720p content.

Pros: 55nm version of the 9800GT, Hybridpower, tri-sli, great heatsink, integrated HDMI, and Optical Audio port

Cons: ASUS' software, the thing about this card is that you can only view GPU temps in detail using their software, you can only overclock the gpu using THEIR software, voltage tuning only works with THEIR software its just that THEIR software sucks and apparently they still think that awful skin they use looks presentable in Vista.

Overall Review: Its a good thing I only got this card for its features, not to overclock, this card has huge potential, and its wasted over ASUS' shoddy software.

Pros: Dual-Link, for like 7.3Gb bandwidth, very solid heavy cable, gold connectors

Cons: Not HDCP Capable, a bit too heavy, unflexible.

Pros: Costs about 50$ dollars less than the 3870, but matches it in many games, lower clock speeds which means it doesn't burn up, 51C idle 62C load, this is the new best mid-range card over the 3850.

Cons: 256MB of RAM but not much of a con if your not playing at extreme resolutions, or high anti aliasing.

Overall Review: just make sure you've got a good PSU, 550w or better will do nicely.

Pros: Much Much more stable then Windows XP, much faster too.

Cons: Takes up a good bit of RAM, Gaming proformance is not very good right now.

Overall Review: Vista is a beast, it is the best Operating System Microsoft has ever released, bar none. But be sure to have 1-2GB of RAM.
