Speed Boost

Pros: Great little upgrade for the laptop. The laptop was a HP one that only came with 256 MB of RAM. This 1 GB upgrade was the max that could be added and it definitely sped up the laptop.
Cons: None.
Nice Mousepad, Won't Flatten

Pros: Nice fabric material, rubber bottom keeps pad in place. Improves the feel and use of a mouse.
Cons: Comes rolled up, which causes wrinkles and after two months of use, still wrinkled.
Overall Review: This is truly a great mouse pad and it is a shame that it ships rolled up. The wrinkles are only slightly visible and do not hinder the use of the mouse pad, but it is annoying.
Awesome Graphics Card

Pros: AGP Slot. 1GB Ram. 4650 GPU. Can now run games at 1920x1080 res. New AGP Hotfix drivers released, Catalyst 10.4 from AMD.
Cons: Bottle-necked by my Pentium 4 CPU.
Overall Review: I bought this video card to upgrade my aging PC. I used to be able to run BF2 with Low settings and only get about 30 FPS. Now I get around 80 FPS with the settings at medium, so I haven't finished tweaking the settings yet. It's an improvement to just get decent FPS while fully using the 1920x1080 res of my 23" LCD Monitor.
What a nice PSU

Pros: It's great because it's a single rail so the power is not split between a couple of rails, meaning that I get maximum output from this little PSU. It has a lot of connectors, plenty of peripheral 4-pin molex connectors, enough to power extra fans and case lights. It has a dedicated 6-pin PCI-Express power connector. There are plenty of SATA power connectors too. Cool black paint, large 120 MM fan on the bottom of the PSU.
Cons: It's not modular, but I knew that when I bought it, so there are some extra cables I'm not using. The entire cable is not sleeved as you would think. The connector is sleeved from the PSU up to the first connector, like on the SATA cable which has three connectors, the last two are not covered in sleeving.
Overall Review: I was originally going to buy the 530W which was on sale for $49.99, but missed the sale and this so this one was $59.99 and I decided to buy it. That's a great price for a 630W PSU. I've only had it for a month, but it is super quite and very nice.
Nice little Quad

Pros: I've had this installed and running smooth now for almost six months now. Easy to install, no weird issues to report. Super fast little quad core. Runs the latest games just great.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Apps that utilize all four cores run great on this CPU. Even single threaded apps and games don't skip a beat.
Awesome Memory

Pros: Works great without any compatibility issues. Dual Channel. Nice Rebate that was easy to apply for on the Corsair website.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: First time using Corsair memory as I have always been a loyal Kingston customer, but Corsair is top notch and quality as well.
