Pros: This thing works just the way it's supposed to when you have the correct drivers installed.

Cons: That being said, it comes with a driver disc. However, if you do not have a disc drive you will need to follow the link in the description of the item to get the correct drivers. It will appear to work when you plug it in but nothing will connect. You will need the "Realtek Bluetooth" drivers but there are many different ones at Realtek's website. You will need the ones either off the disc or from the website in the description.

Overall Review: I did not read the description -_- But I did have a disc drive. Just wanted to leave this here for anyone that might be having a problem or to avoid one.

Most Critical Review

My new CPU

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ - Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane Dual-Core 2.3 GHz Socket AM2 65W Processor - ADO4400IAA5DU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ - Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane Dual-Core 2.3 GHz Socket AM2 65W Processor - ADO4400IAA5DU

Pros: Newegg shipped it quickly, as usual. It came in a little plastic box like a small toy or jewelry might come in. It's AM2 which works with my board, and it's Dual-core + 64-bit which are capabilities that my previous processor did not have...

Cons: It's not really the speed increase I was expecting. I am still running WinXP-32 and it doesn't seem a huge step over the lil' Socket 754/Sempron 3100+ I was running before. Maybe I haven't put it through the proper paces yet because I am pretty busy.

Overall Review: My roommates say they can tell a difference in speed and load times. Me, being the "computer nerd" in the house, can't really notice much of a difference but it does work and in benchmark tests, my new setup is almost 10x faster than the old one.

Very decent GPU.

GIGABYTE Gaming OC Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-R675XTGAMING OC-12GD

Pros: 1440p native resolution in a lot of games.

Cons: It's not, like, a 4090.5700x3d

Overall Review: This GPU has treated me well. I cannot complain about the framerates and such I am obtaining, but keep in mind that I'm using a 5700X3D. This setup will be good for a few years, I hope.

Easier than I thought

Rosewill Dual Monitor Mount, 15 to 32 Inch, 4.4 to 19.8lbs per Screen, Adjustable Gas Spring Monitor Arm with Cable Management, Clamp & Grommet Base

Pros: Easy to assemble. Declutter your desk. Cable management built-in.

Overall Review: It's easy enough to put together and it took a little tweaking of the springs to get it to react correctly to monitor movements because they were stiff at first. This thing is worth what I paid for it since I was able to declutter my desk a lot!

Ya can't hear it post BECAUSE....

ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Put it in my case, added my components (INCLUDING A SPEAKER!) and it fired up and has worked great, so far. Oh, and I saved $20 when I bought open-box.

Cons: There is no onboard speaker. I was turned off from buying this by supposed tech experts that are too cocky to even notice that ya can't hear it post simply because, I repeat: THERE IS NO ONBOARD SPEAKER.

Overall Review: Upgraded from an AM3 board but kept my Phenom 965. The upgraded chipset really gave me an obvious, but not significant, boost. Can't wait to see this thing burnin' with an actual AM3+ chip in it. Don't forget a speaker because, according to others, you will apparently be furious.

Very Pleased

ASRock A780FullHD AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Great specs, ports in all the right places, no problem getting it going. I just connected everything, powered it on, and it booted right up. The onboard video can combine with another PCI-E card with the same chipset to provide Crossfire functionality...

Cons: Not the speed boost I expected but I kind of skimped on the proc (AthX2 4400+), kept my SATA1.5 hard drives, and also only bought one stick of RAM (going to get the second soon). The onboard video is not awesome even compared to the 6 year old ATI AGP card I already had but I am not a huge PC gamer so this was not much of an issue.

Overall Review: If you are thinking of going AM2, get this board. It provides compatibility and functionality with a lot of different mem and CPU types to provide for future upgrades. I got a Dual Core Brisbane and 1x2GB DDR2/800 to put into this one but it will accept less plus I can upgrade to a Quad w/ 1066Mhz RAM when I am ready.
