Pros: see other note

Cons: see other note

Overall Review: Correction: When I said the card ran real HOT at 170 deg f I forgot to say that this was with a Video testing program that "stresses" the card to detect any flaws. It ran without any problems. With actually gaming conditions, it ran about 140-150 deg F. With an additional fan, it ran 10-15 deg cooler.

Pros: NewEgg shipped fast. Well packaged.

Cons: Sorry to say that I did NOT last........ Lasted less than 4 months. Some memory has a year replacement thru NewEgg and others only 3 mos.

Overall Review: I have purchased different brands of memory modules for our laptops and desktops and never had any problems recently. Don't know ....but when I read the reviews I will make sure that they are all 5 stars. I noticed that "some memory has a year replacement thru NewEgg and others only 3 mos"...Why?

Pros: Pro: Appears well made; heat sinks built in; tailors itself to other memory installed; Corsair website helps to find the right memory for your computer Technical stuff: AMD 9750 quad with 4 GB memory @ 800 MHz 6-6-6-18 timing in slots #1-2. 64 bit Vista OS which runs all 32 bit software I have thrown at it and can run old 16 bit software and DOS games with DosBox! Only a 64 bit OS can use more than about 3 GB memory. This Corsair 2GB x 2, dual channel, paired memory, with timings of 5-5-5-18, is faster memory than my original installed memory and I was concerned about the timings. The result was that all my memory runs at 667MHz but with a faster timing 5-5-5-15, so it is very close to the original memory installed but not as fast as it can be. I do not intend to over clock and will not change out the slower memory because of cost concerns.

Cons: knock off one star - personal

Overall Review: Have an AMD 9750 quad with 4 GB memory in slots #1-2 and wanted to go to 8GB. It is important to install compatible memory in the other slots - i.e. slots #3-4 were empty. I have 64 bit Vista which can "see" 8GB of memory. I searched through multiple sites to obtain quality memory and was not happy with the confusing results. I searched the Corsair website and they have a "memory search", where you enter your computer model and they give you matched memory that is guaranteed to work with your computer. Then it was easy to find what I needed. The result was the all my memory ran well and I can use all my 8 GB memory. I don't mean to confuse those who are less technically inclined - the point is that all memory is not the same and to just stick any DDR2 memory into your computer will guarantee an unhappy end user. It is hard to match up the correct DDR2 memory without knowing a lot of hidden details and for most end users it is easier to just go to the memory manufacturer's website.

Pros: Heat sinks; quality; works with Gateway DX4200 with AMD 9750 quad; corsair website for compatible memory searches; works with other memory timings [would not test different timings in the same paired slot - see other thoughts].

Cons: Rebate - wonder if it will ever come and easy to make a mistake with the pre-registration; UPS is a slow shipper which makes Newegg look lousy; high cost as compared to 6 months ago.

Overall Review: Corsair Memory is 800 with 5-5-5-18 timings - 2 GB each paired in slots 3-4. Had 2 GB 800 in slots 1-2 with 6-6-6-18 timings. Result 8 GB 667 with 5-5-5-15 timings not too bad a result. I could change out the slower RAM but with the high cost will not. I am satisfied with the result. If my rebate comes, the ranking will change upward. I had to ding 2 stars for all the cons.

Pros: cheap, quiet, reliable

Cons: to keep costs low - not modular, wiring thinner

Overall Review: A pro view of this PSU tore the guts apart. While some of the components are less expensive, it appears that where it counts, the components are quality. I agree. The metal casing and wiring is thin. Some reviewers have had bad PSU's - even with the cheapest stock PSU's from the 20 + computers I have had over years, not one has ever failed (lucky?). However , if you run your CPU 24/7/365 - I would expect failure at some point especially with all the brown outs and power surges that occur periodically. Quality control is not so good today in a lot a stuff (including so called name products)!

Pros: Great card even for a low powered computer system ( tested on: Acer M1100 AMD 4400+ 64x2; 320GB HDD; DVD burner; 4 gb memory; 250 w PSU); lower power consumption GPU around 59 watts; good performance ; Inserting the card was easy; Vista graphics rating went from 3.0 to 5.9 ; Upgrading the GPU, makes the overall system to be more responsive with current games

Cons: Requires extra space - a PCI Express slot and an adjacent card slot; It seemed to take a long time for the drivers to install and when the computer was rebooted, it only recognized a standard VGA quality card (problem was resolved) ; The MSI CD disk was poor - some of the utilities were old 2003 era software to adjust your monitor ; no included cables ; Initial temperature was around 130 deg F and after 40 min it was 170 deg F (75 deg C)....HOT.

Overall Review: The card is 8 inches long, requires extra space - a PCI Express slot and an adjacent card slot. Be careful to make sure you have enough room. High powered video cards reguire a lot of width (the fan!)and length. The way today's motherboards are made, you need two card slots (Why? MB's should have double wide slots and you shouldn't have to lose valuable PCI or Express slots to accomodate these cards). Installing the video drivers was another story. It seemed to take a long time for the drivers to install. When it rebooted, only recognized a standard VGA quality card ! After trying to figure what went wrong, it appeared a 2nd reboot solved the problem. When I upgraded the driver from the Nvidia website....same problem. Frustrating! The MSI CD disk was poor. Some of the utilities didn't install because the programmers changed the names! The overclocking utility is called "Dual Core Center". Dispute the appearance of more "Cons" I am impressed.
