HIS Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H485FM1GH

Pros: I made a gaff on my original review.I state core clock at 700mhz its actualy at 690mhz and the memory clock is at 1148mhz.this was done in ati over drive,letting their program over clock it for me.Then i had the program run it through a test and it passed.Could'nt have been easier.This is for those that said they could'nt get an over clock.I could'nt either on my own but i let their program analize my system, then it over clocks itself with that info.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Bye the way,in my earlier review i said i was using dual monitors, one dvi and one hdmi and could'nt get sound out of the dvi monitor when both were cloned that problem was taken care of with a driver update from Reaktek.

Most Critical Review

New Egg Good ,Trendnet not so much

TRENDnet TEW-639GR Wireless Gigabit Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps
TRENDnet TEW-639GR Wireless Gigabit Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps

Pros: Looks good..Wired hook ups its flawless. It does handle 2 desktops one wireless one wired and 2 tablets and a note book wireless all at once, with no problems.

Cons: The wireless N seems fast enough the only real gripe i have is about every 5-10 days it gives up the ghost and i have to power it down for a couple of minutes.It only happens in the wireless not in the cat6 ethernet wired mode. You never know when its going to quit it just does. I get fair range and download speeds when its works for the week or so that it does run.

Overall Review: When we 1st bought this TEW-639GR model we were hooked up to a dsl modem now we have fios thru our cable company and it still has the same problem with shutting down after a 7 days or so.

Sounds great & New Egg Rocks

Creative ZEN Style M300 1.45" White 4GB MP3 Player 70PF2550001H1
Creative ZEN Style M300 1.45" White 4GB MP3 Player 70PF2550001H1

Pros: Great sound reproduction, Bluetooth works good, Fm works OK, Comes with fair ear buds. And takes up to 32 gigs of extra storage.

Cons: Very small, hard to handle because it is so small. You have to laugh at the screen when video is playing because the screen is so small9 but it does play mp4. You just need a magnifying glass to see it..LOL Had to send 1st one back quit playing the second day, it froze up and nothing i could do unfreeze. Fm signal is on the weak side. But it works and it scans and locks in stations.

Overall Review: Over all I think the price is a little high but the thing does work and sound is great even with the ear buds it comes with. The bluetooth seems to have a learning curve. At 1 st it was hit and miss when pairing up with my creative labs bluetooth speakers, but now it pairs up quickly and locks in for the duration. I'm going to keep it but if you have big hands I would'nt recommend this because its so small and hard to handle. Full discloser.. I did'nt buy here. I should have though I probably would'nt have had the hassle like i did at the other online dealer gave me.. But they finaly relented and gave me another player and all is fine.

Logitech& NEWEGG Great combo

Logitech Z506 75 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers
Logitech Z506 75 watts RMS 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers

Pros: Logitech has always made decent products for a great price

Cons: No Cons

Overall Review: I own an older model Logitech x-530 5.1 surround system for 6 years now and they sound as good as the day I recieved them. Very good quality of build and able to crank up with no annoying hiss from the system I own several logitech products over the years and they have all worked as advertised and all are still doing so know. I trust these Z506 speakers will have the logitech quality all their other products have given over the years. Its a name you can trust.

I Just don't know yet

Creative 51MF8130AA002 D80 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker (Black)
Creative 51MF8130AA002 D80 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker (Black)

Pros: Sound is ok..But not great.Ok for the price. Its realy not that bad of sound unless you push it all the way.And all the way is not to loud at that. It just does'nt have that much power

Cons: My bad I thought this model had battery power capability, it does'nt. Every thing went smooth the 1st day all my bluetooth gadgets worked well and paired with no problems.Next morning it would only pair sometimes with one of my android products and it would take several tries at that. It refused to pair with the other bluetooth products i have, tablet, mp3 player etc.

Overall Review: To be Honest as you can see i did'nt buy this product here at New Egg..I wish I had.I have been very lucky here and have bought many products here and none have been Lemons. All have worked as advertised. Delivery is always on time and well packaged. I am presently in the 1st days of a reman with the online retailer i bought it from.I hate to reman don't you.
