Pros: It's cheap. It's faster than what I had before in this computer (a 2.9 Ghz dual core). Frame rates on games that I thought ran well before have jumped up a bit (going up by about 10-15 FPS on average), and I can run them at higher settings. I like this processor quite a bit - it should serve me well until I finally build a new computer in a year or two.

Cons: None, considering the price. I guess that it doesn't have L3 memory, but it runs very well without it.

Overall Review: One of these days I'll unlock the 4th core, but I'm enjoying how much faster it is just with 3 cores.

Pros: Stays cool (35C idle, 55-60C under full load, with overdrive turned on (overclocked GPU by 50 MHz, memory by 100 MHz), runs current games very well (45-60 FPS for Skyrim on ultra settings, though not max resolution - 1280X720 looks just fine on my monitor). This is a great card for discount PC gamers, like myself. My rig: Athlon II X3, 3.3 GHz, 4 GB DDR3 RAM.

Cons: Didn't have the money for a slightly better card.

Overall Review: I actually bought this exact same version of the 5770 - now deactivated - but since the cards are in all perceivable ways identical to each other, I feel qualified to write a review for this one

Pros: You get great performance for the price. Any recent game runs well, if A) you have at least a dual core processor B) you use ATI overdrive to slightly increase RAM and GPU clock speed (increasing each by a mere 50 MHz makes a big difference - I haven't gone beyond that yet because I like to keep the temp way under 50c). You won't be able to run any game from the last 2 years on maximum settings, of course, but the frame rates will be very high and smooth.

Cons: None, considering what you get for the price.

Overall Review: Don't expect to run, say, Crysis at higher resolution than 1152X864 (medium to high graphic settings, depending on your RAM and CPU) without lowering the frame rate significantly. Luckily, the type of person who would buy this card (people like me - gamers who don't like spending thousands on a system and would rather play a game when it's a year or two old than pay out the nose for a computer) thinks it looks pretty good at that resolution.

Pros: It's a somewhat fast computer for those who A) are too lazy to build one themselves and B) don't want to spend a lot of money (I am guilty on both counts). Plenty of ram, good processor, decent (though lackluster) video card. I don't regret this purchase.

Cons: Expansion? Pretty much nonexistent. I may have to replace the motherboard at some point. I'm definitely going to want a more powerful video card as well.

Pros: So... it connect IDE devices... like in my case - an extra hard drive I had lying around. It was in perfect condition, as one would expect a simple cable to be.

Cons: It did not magically connect itself to my hard drives and motherboard.

Overall Review: I think even writing this much about a cable is a stretch. Other thoughts? Really?
