95W Cap Untrue
Pros: so far so good. after installation I'll give an update.
Cons: confusion about 95W cap. misplaced sticker? see below.
Overall Review: Ok to the people now worried about this 95W CPU cap. I purchased this Mobo and a AMD 64 X2 6000+ 125W CPU before these two comments about the watt cap were posted. when i got my Mobo it has a sticker on the front saying that it is not made for CPU's greater than 95W. However Foxconn Support says there is no cap and pointed me to this compatibility chart for reference. http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/compatibility_detail.aspx?model_id=&type_id=en-us0000001 Just click on the link for this Mobo, A78AX-S, and it clearly shows 125W CPU's are "pass".
worked fine for about a year
Pros: cheap. easy to use and set up.
Cons: worked great under moderate usage for a year then the last month or so its been under some good usage and it just died. well not died but dropes about half the packets.
Overall Review: works for a year. and for the price i guess thats what you would expect
cheap, strong, good
Pros: very good case. metal strong haven't done any testing but seems really fast
Cons: cap
Overall Review: would buy again. really good flash drive
EEE 901
Pros: Super Fast Works great with EEE 901 gets rid of thous random "pauses" when your using your netbook
Cons: not free? the only real con is that on the EEE 901 you have to upgrade the Bios (version 1902 works) for it to recognize these bigger hard drives. however Win7 has this black screen on startup glitch with the newer Bios versions. so what you have to do is mod yourself or find a Bios thats been hacked to have some aspects of the newer bios and some of the old. it works great with Win7 then.
Overall Review: would really suggest this upgrade for all you netbook owners out there. it makes a huge difference in over all speed. helps XP run faster and is really noticeable in Win7. i would buy this upgrade before i put more RAM in a netbook. this helps the overall speed of my netbook more than upgrading my ram did.
EEE 901
Pros: great speed works great with EEE 901
Cons: none
Overall Review: i would really suggest this upgrade. especially with Win7 this really helps your overall speed
CHEAP
Pros: wow the price per performance is just insane. no cap design is very helpful. good read/write speeds.
Cons: didnt come with a neck strap but very few do so no bigi.
Overall Review: perfect grad gift.
