Most Favorable Review

OEM A-OK

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM2 125W Processor - ADX6400IAA6CZ
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM2 125W Processor - ADX6400IAA6CZ

Pros: Great performance. Great Price. Great upgrade form my +4200, & the extra L2 cache grants noticeable gains in CPU intensive applications.

Cons: Going from the energy efficient 65w to this 125w is gonna up the utility bill a pinch, but well worth the extra scratch.

Overall Review: This is my 2nd OEM cpu from Newegg and my 5th OEM product, plus an OpenBox item or 2, & I have yet to have a single problem with anything other than incompatible RAM for my buddies Dell laptop :-(which they RMA'd quickly, I might add:-). Seems Newegg puts effort into making sure we are being well served, even when not buying Top-dollar-Brand-new-in-the-box stuff. Never disappointed. gOEM !

Most Critical Review

Dell's are He11

CORSAIR 512MB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Laptop Memory Model VS512SDS400
CORSAIR 512MB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Laptop Memory Model VS512SDS400

Pros: Good Price. But most RAM is these days.

Cons: Didn't work in my buddy's Dell Inspiron 5100. But neither did the Wintec (PC2700)'s I tried to replace them with. Gonna try a 3rd time since they say it's a charm. Don't buy Dell unless you want a disposable product.

Overall Review: NewEgg made the RMA process very painless so far: I was even able to print the UPS return label from my own printer (Cool, I thought). But this company has always proven to be a pleasure to deal with. Thanks neweggies for consistently great service.

Extremely Pleased w/ MSI Support

MSI Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R7970 Lightning
MSI Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R7970 Lightning

Pros: This is not so much review of this card (others have already given it the praise it rightly deserves), But a review of the level of service I received from MSI when my last card died.

Cons: Now it will be a bit longer before I can justify upgrading my GPU & there are some very nice ones right around the corner now that this one is discontinued.

Overall Review: I was using the 6970 Lightning card for a couple years when it started acting up on me: It was locking up with Vertical Lines & Freeze outs; just plain Not working. It would run Fine if I Underclocked it to Stock 6970 speeds, but that is not what I paid for. I quickly & painlessly obtained an RMA from their website & returned the card to MSI for repair, but it seems it was beyond such remedy. After less than 2 weeks, & after verifying I was not using Crossfire configuration, & even though I had mere months or weeks left on my warranty, they offered to ship me this 7970 Lightning as a replacement. I received it a few days later & have been tremendously pleased. Perhaps it is a bad sign of the times, but I was very surprised to have received such prompt & satisfactory Service from ANY company. Not to mention I have a brand new, much better replacement part flawlessly devouring my version of Crysis3 with Ultra High settings even @ 3240x1920 res & great frame rates. I would recommend MSI to anyone with NO hesitation, especially if the question pertains to Customer Service. Thank You MSI & newegg for keeping my gaming Amazing.

Nice little package

Gear Head SP2000URED 2.0 Speaker System - 3 W RMS - Red, Black
Gear Head SP2000URED 2.0 Speaker System - 3 W RMS - Red, Black

Pros: Small footprint, Price, Pretty

Cons: Fairly short cables, USB is the source of power, not sound. Was looking for USB without the need for 3.5" audio jack. Not fault of the product, but the description.

Overall Review: Great little speakers for non-demanding sound solution.

A faster Processor (for my Computer)

Cuisinart DLC-2A 24-ounce Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, White
Cuisinart DLC-2A 24-ounce Mini Prep Plus Food Processor, White

Pros: I Never owned a Food Processor & now i would HATE to be without it. Cooking for one is such a hassle as food prep is so time consuming. Not with this thing. It has me eating much less drive-thru, take out & pre-packaged foods, saving me lots of $ that can be spent on faster Processors for my Computers :-)

Cons: Great size for one or 2 folks, but some things have trouble fitting in & need a bit of cutting to get them started (Onions, for example) which is why you have this thing to begin with. My next one will be the next size up.

Overall Review: Takes up very little room on my small Kitchen counter. Easy clean up & seems pretty durable so far. This, coupled with my dedicated egg cooker, has me making enviable Egg Salad Sandwiches.

As Advertised & then some

CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive CMFVY3S-16GB
CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive CMFVY3S-16GB

Pros: Price, Durability, Brand Reputation, Speed

Cons: Little big compared to some of the tiny ones out there, but less likely to lose larger one, and the size is due to the durable rubber casing, so not really a con I suppose.

Overall Review: Some random DiskBench results: from USB3thumb to RaptorHDD: Size: 787,644,981 Time: 10378 ms Transfer Rate: 72.380 MB/s from USB3thumb to SATA6SDD: Size: 1,653,435,119 Time: 18333 ms Transfer Rate: 86.011 MB/s from RaptorHDD to USB3thumb: Size: 185,463,440 Time: 8812 ms Transfer Rate: 20.072 MB/s from SATA6HDD to USB3thumb: Size: 185,463,440 Time: 8875 ms Transfer Rate: 19.929 MB/s Size: 18,692,909 Time: 833 ms Transfer Rate: 21.401 MB/s These results are on par & slightly better than advertised specs.
