Bad Module, Again

PNY Optima 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model MN8192KD3-1066

Pros: PNY finally sent new memory to replace the failed memory.

Cons: Started the RMA in September, it's now Nov 12 - and I'm just receiving the replacement. One of the two DIMMs of the replacement memory received today is bad. Computer will boot with one, but not the other.

Overall Review: I will NEVER purchase ANYTHING from PNY again.

Pros: Seemed like a good price in January 2011. Hopefully PNY's lifetime warranty will redeem the failed RAM.

Cons: Computer has been crashing intermittently for months and months. I new the RAM had failed tests. Looking up my order history and seeing the same responses here confirms my suspicions.

Overall Review: Here's hoping PNY's lifetime warranty makes up for this.

Too user friendly.

Pros: The size, power consumption.

Cons: Video quality does not seem the best. I'm definitely not achieving 30fps, and I've got it connected straight from Router to Computer.

Overall Review: Absolute nightmare to try to embed this thing into a website. Plenty of other options to use their Digisoftware and third party programs, but no one knows what the video stream is coming off of this. Perhaps if I was truly a web programmer, but I only know how to manipulate Javascript enough to be dangerous. I didn't have any problems embedding video from other IP CAMs. Too bad customer service had no idea how to do this, as this IP CAM is probably coming back.

Meh

Pros: I did find this card for cheap elsewhere.

Cons: One of the two cards I ordered had a capacitor fall off. -Had to solder it back on =/

Overall Review: Nothing but problems and dissapointments. Doesn't work as described. Thought Software would be better, but it's not.

My first review?

Pros: I have been a Newegg customer for many years. I have benefited from a lot of the reviews on here, so I thought it's finally time I give back to the community. Please see below:

Cons: This board has been a headache. Make sure you flash the BIOS asap. Mobo with original BIOS does not like RAM with voltages 1.7 or higher. You will probably have to set your own latencies/voltages. If your PC even posts. -No beeps, no lights, no music... Intel is aware. The original BIOS does not like a lot of video cards as well- so check compatibilities, or have a cheap vid card so you can flash the BIOS. Updating the BIOS crashed my hard drive. The Vista recovery was worthless, however I was able to recover the OS by running the command prompt. -You have to navigate to your Vista DVD, go to the boot folder, and run "bootsect /nt60 c:" I still had to reinstall Vista however =/ A lot of people, including myself, get BIOS errors- such as keyboard errors when posting- unwarranted. Oh, and mine didn't come with a manual, you have to go online for that.

Overall Review: I bought this as a retail promotion, and was unaware of a few things as I somewhat impulsively bought this board for the price. As mentioned: No IDE, Floppy, and it takes DDR3. Overclocking options are a little limited... I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone to purchase this board what-so-ever! Get an Asus board, or anything for that matter, but this.

XP Doesn't Recognize for install.

Pros: Good if you already have XP installed.

Cons: Not a solution for hitting F6 to load your drivers during XP install. Go to Microsoft's website to see a list of supported external floppy drives. Sony's not on there.

Overall Review: Waste of money for me. Microsoft needs to accept flash-drives to load drivers. I hate floppies.
