Worked awesome after I uninstalled zone alarm

Intel 2200BNHMWDTX1 PCI Express x1 Centrino Advanced-N 2200 for Desktop IEEE 802.11b/g/n Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Intel 2200BNHMWDTX1 PCI Express x1 Centrino Advanced-N 2200 for Desktop IEEE 802.11b/g/n Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: I installed the card and Windows found the card but would not show any networks. I knew there were networks. I tried changing slots, drivers, and searched all over the internet. I was about to give up thinking it was an AMD compatabilitily issue (I have an AMD FX8350 8 core running in an ASRock 990fx extreme4) when I came across a blog about this very same problem. Uninstalled Zone Alarm. Fixed the problem. Weird because I've used zone alarm for years. Card works like a charm. Great signal signal strength.

Cons: None really

I like it

Pros: Replaced a 5y/o 19in lcd. I really like the swivel and height adjustment. This is why I picked this model. The display is bright and clear even in the middle of the day with bright sun shining in. So far everything is perfect, NO DEAD PIXELS.

Cons: None yet.

Works Great

Kingston ValueRAM 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3N9/2G

Pros: Works well with the intel dp55wb and i5. I'm about to buy 2 more. I'm not a gamer but for everything I do this ram makes me happy.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This ram was recommended by intel for my model board, I figured why not go with a tested brand.

Pros: -Easy Installation. I have yet to hear the fan over my case fans. It runs about 40-42*C most of the time. I am not much of a gamer, mainly just photo and videos so I can't vouch for game performance. The card seems well built. It seems to be getting along great with my new systems: i5 intel d55wp 4 gb ddr3

Cons: none

One word, RAM.

Intel BOXDP55WB LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Lots of features for a nice price. Nice guide that came with the board, easy to follow installation.

Cons: I think I have terrible luck. I Ordered OCZ RAM and had one stick with memory errors. RMA. Ordered GSkill and again, one bad stick. Just ordered the Kingston which was recommended on the Intel site. Crossing my fingers that both sticks are good and the board gets along with them.
