Pros: No subscription or online access required (except for downloading the apps) No requirement of previous Office version installed. (Remember those days? Thank goodness that restriction is no longer around)

Cons: Still pricey. Requires Microsoft account, which is free but still a bit of a hassle if you don't have one. No physical media in the box. You must download the Office apps from the official website after redeeming the key online.

Overall Review: This is a key code on a card inside of a small cardboard box that is delivered to you. This listing is not instant code delivery.

Pros: I still have one working fan.

Cons: One fan completely broke down and stopped working. I tried every electrical connection, including connecting the original plug to the motherboard. Still didn't work.

Overall Review: It was too cheap to send back, so it was trashed.

Pros: It never crashes, unlike the very old outdated wired-only Linksys router that this router replaced.

Cons: It won't stand vertically on its own with the included clip-on stand. Even with one cable connected at the back, the router will tip over. Activity lights are at the rear of the router instead of the front.

Overall Review: I'm a little disappointed that I can only get a wireless maximum speed 22Mbps out of this router. I don't know if its the router's fault or my own for not putting in the right settings.

Pros: I got this drive as an upgrade of a very noisy Toshiba 80GB HD that came with my Playstation 3. This drive was much quieter than the other one, with no chirping from parking heads, and scratching noises from reading and seeking was at a much lower volume.

Cons: Nothing.

Overall Review: Bare drive = drive in a non-static bag surrounded by bubble wrap. No mounting screws, no SATA cable.

Pros: As of now (Dec. 2009), it's the only option to upgrade a motherboard and Intel processor without replacing a AGP video card and DDR1 RAM. I expected some compatibility problems with the new board, but none of those problems appeared. Windows 7 installed all of the necessary drivers for the new processor and motherboard devices without complaints. I had to re-activate Windows 7 over the phone because a new motherboard is considered a new computer. Other than that, no problems over here.

Cons: There is no speed-step option in the BIOS CPU options to save power while the CPU is idle. It can only handle a maximum of 2GB of RAM. Fortunately, Windows 7 doesn't seem to need that much RAM. The PCI-E slot is rated at x4 speed. I have no PCI-E video card yet, so I don't know if this will affect me in the future.

Overall Review: There are two versions of this motherboard out there. This is version 2.0, which is the current version and supports more processors and video cards. The listing here didn't make that clear.

Pros: After getting the drivers to work, the card works well. I have had no problems running Windows Aero on Windows 7. It seems like it runs as well as the 4650 PCI-E card that I have on another computer. The fan stays quiet while the computer is on, but I haven't tested it with a graphic-intensive program yet.

Cons: I had similar problems installing drivers. The regular ATI drivers online couldn't find the card. The hotfix AGP ATI driver incorrectly identified the card as a Visiontec 2000 series card. I uninstalled the hotfix, installed the driver with the supplied driver CD, rebooted, then reinstalled the hotfix. After that, the drivers were installed correctly. I usually ignore the video card driver CD because they are outdated by the time I buy it. Don't be like me and ignore it. Use the driver CD.

Overall Review: I bought this card to try to cure slowdown problems with online Flash video on my brother's computer. It did not solve the problem, and it looks like the slow 1.8GHz processor is to blame for the slowdown. I may have to return the card and build a new system from scratch since all modern motherboards don't have an AGP slot anymore.
