Cheap and simple

Pros: Simple to use and cheap. Nice display for the size. I can view web pages with relative ease and I'm able to install some of my favorite Firefox plug-ins like Adblock Plus. Setting up the wireless connection was easier than I've seen on other Linux setups.

Cons: As mentioned in an earlier comment, this has a limited amount of flash and is essentially full. The updates automatically download without the user's approval. The number of pre-installed apps for is rather low for a Linux distro and it doesn't appear there are enough hooks for a Linux power-user to tweak the system.

Great replacement

Pros: Worked immediately out of the box. I ran Memtest86 and Systester (Linux) to verify stability. No problems.

Cons: So far, none. I've read that this memory won't likely overclock, but I don't intend to do that with this system.

Overall Review: This replaced a set of OCZ Platinum sticks that were causing my PC to freeze and lock up. I wasn't overclocking, so it was very frustrating to have the "good quality" memory behave badly.
