Pros: Works great with Crysis, HL2 and GRAW2. I am running a X2 939 CPU with DDR pc3200 and was a great improvement to my 7900GS in SLI. Did not need to OC the card right now as it does what I want it to do with out any latency.

Cons: NONE...is a vast improvement in performance

Overall Review: Installation of the card into a case can be a little difficult if you don't have the room. I would say that if you have a mid tower (in some casess) or a full tower you would be ok for room when installing this card. The 8800GT is just a little bit bigger than the 7900GS by maybe a half inch.

Pros: Crystal clear as far as the quality. I di not have to adjust any settings for color, brightness or contrast. Upgraded from a 17 inch LCD monitor and of course the difference is like night and day. I have more room to move applications around and the antive resolution brings out some detail in my high end games (i.e. Crysis, FFOW, FEAR) that my 8800GT handles really well. Response time is alot better than my 17 inch LCD.

Cons: None really. Wish Newegg would stop dropping the price as makes me wish I had waited longer to buy it. LOL. Speakers are what they are for 1Watt and expecting quality sound would be a mistake. What's great is that the speakers are built into the back of the monitor so they are not noticeable. However, I am still keeping this at a 5 because I never intended to use the speakers knowing how bad the quality was going to be in the first place before I bought the monitor.

Pros: Here is a note for those of you having freezing problems with OCZ memory and Probably others with 780i and 790i boards. Check your Memory voltages (if not in the green on the bios) then it is probably over what it should be mine was just a little over and now I have been stable for over a month. Just because the package says it can run at a certain voltage rate does not mean your system will stay stable. For example, the memory package says 2.3v Lower it to 2.1v (in the green zone), but not so far that your underpowering the memory. This has helped in the past and stablized the board during OS install. Seems like something alot of people are missing when installing. Just my 2 cents or half a cent depending on your view.

Cons: just informational

Pros: Here is some information on how to SLI two of these if you are so inclined to do so. I got the information from EVGA knowledge base. http://www.evga.com/support/KnowledgeBase/Default.asp

Cons: None

Overall Review: SLI with these cards will be done entirely through the PCI-Express slot on the motherboard and does not require an SLI Bridge to connect the cards. Install one card and the latest drivers, restarting to finalize the installation. Once the first card is setup, you can shut down and add the second card. If not prompted to enable SLI upon entering Windows, go to your Nvidia Control Panel under 3d settings to enable it. Some versions may have the SLI bridge connection which is required for proper operation

Pros: Cheap and works great. Bought 2 of these to max out my Dell E1505 (core duo, integrated video, Windows XP media Center) capacity and speed. Went from 1GB 533Mhz to these and the performance has increased. Web Pages load faster than before now and navigating around Windows is a little faster (Video latency seems to be better, no lag when the screen refreshes - for example, pulling up the cntrol panel the icons refresh quickly where I don't get the windows logo icons before the actual gif icons are populated).

Cons: None, easy to install

Overall Review: Just want to make a note that it is important that you seat the memory correctly. Although I had no problems installing this memory (installed on first try, because I know what I am doing), I could see where some issues may come into play where you have to make sure (at least on the Dell E1505) you hear the memory snap in the SODIMM socket before you lock the memory in place with the tabs.

Pros: I love this board. I want to make clear that the hardware compatibility list for this board (especially memory) should be followed. Second of all you should also make sure that the hardware meets vista's HCL. I got this board installed with Vista (32-bit) installed with all components install meeting both requirements (Hardware and OS). Had a hard time with stability (vista kept freezing up).

Cons: All bios's and drivers were updated to maximize compatibility and for trouble shooting purpose. However I was still getting Vista locking up. What I had overlooked (becasue the vendor stated the requirments) was that my memory (OCZ-OCZ2N10662GK, which is on the 780i compatibility list) was detected as 2.3v which is what OCZ states as the default voltage. In the bios you will have 3 different colors white, green and red. If you install memory and it is detected at a voltage with red letters then it is too high.

Overall Review: sometimes the vendor is not always right. I lowered the voltage to 2.2v, which was is the green selective choices for voltage settings. I ran nTune performance and stability test for 12 hours and played Crysis for 4 hours (usually would freeze after 30 minutes fo play) and no more freezing. Not saying this will solve your vista problems, but it is a consideration one should take if you meet the motherboard and HCL compatibility lists and your drivers are up to date.
