Push it to the Limit!!
Pros: This is a great processor. It is fast and super easy to overclock. I have it up to 3.2 Ghz and it is stable. Well worth the money.
Cons: Other than now it's over 10.00 cheaper than a month ago..no cons!
Overall Review: my sys:Antec 900 case,AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Black Edition Processor,hec Zephyr 650 ATX12V 650W Power Supply,ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard, 2 MSI NX8500GT-TD256E OC GeForce 8500GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card, Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
It gets the job done.....
Pros: I caught this on sale for $21.99 with free shipping. It is a good adapter for the price..... Newegg rocks!!
Cons: 1. I had to replace the stock antennas.. I thinks its just some interference in that area of my house. 2. Only linked to my Netgear N600 router at 130 Mbps instead of 300Mbps (or at least something in the two hundreds....) (Read Other Thoughts below)
Overall Review: I purchases this adapter to replace the n150 in my wife's computer. The adapter works fine, the problem was reception..even with a high performance router, the stock 2 d Bi antennas just were not cutting it. I went out and purchased the Trendnet duo 7 d Bi antenna.....and BAM!! I'm getting 100% signal strength and link quality constantly!! Computer is used mostly for surfing the internet and school stuff, so the adapter works great now. The only other concern that I have... for whatever reason I don't know why its only linking to the router at 130 mbps...i understand the dates rates are UP TO 300, but when I first install this adapter I was at 270 mbps. After about a day it dropped to 130 mbps and remained there. But I'm not gonna dwell on it...the internet works great and its not slow to print over the network, so its no biggie...
Good graphics...
Pros: I have two of these running in SLI mode. They are very good cards for the money. I am able to run COD4 at max settings and I have had no issues.Comes bundled with some pretty good utilities.
Cons: Had issues once or twice playing Flight Simulator were the screen would blink rapidly during the game.Would stop once I pressed the esc key and then resume the game.( Not sure if it has some thing to do with the graphic card or the game itself, no issues with any other game.)
Overall Review: Oh..had issues with E-color utility. Just couldn't get it to work. It made the screen cloudy and no mattter how I adjusted the settings, it jsut would not work. Ended up removing that particular utility and things work just fine.
Feel the Chill
Pros: I love this case! It is the absolutely the best case I have ever owned. It really helps keep things nice and cool. i like the fact that the power supply is on the bottom...seems to make things a little roomier. I also like that the blue lights are not as bright as my previous case. If you are looking for a great gaming case this is definately the one...
Cons: None.
Great Card!!!!
Pros: SLI,Fast rendering,Good Price
Cons: None
Overall Review: This is a very good card for mid range budget. Card is SLI compatible, however I only have one.Play Battlefield 2 with no problems.
