Great memory

CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1333C7 G
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1333C7 G

Pros: - Fast - Heatsink is reasonably sized - My memory benchmarks actually went up, even though I have another 6GB of Corsair Dominator with the same XMP profile in the same machine. - much cheaper than Dominator

Cons: none

Overall Review: Be aware that to use CAS of 7, you need to run the memory at 1.65v. At 1.5v (667MHz), it is rated at CAS 9.

Do not work in a Eee PC T91MT

HyperX 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Laptop Memory Model KHX4200S2LL/2G
HyperX 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Laptop Memory Model KHX4200S2LL/2G

Pros: Good specs

Cons: Does not work in my Eee PC T91MT - the machine does not boot.

Overall Review: Theoretically, this may just need a BIOS update, although I don't think so. And, yes, I did disable the fast boot option, before anybody brings that up. Regardless - according to the specs it should work and it doesn't, hence 1 egg.

A versatile laptop

ASUS N81 Series 14.0" Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 4GB Memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASUS N81 Series 14.0" Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 4GB Memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: - price - features - speed - versatility - does not heat up - quiet

Cons: - Fn key placement - short battery life - the screen is 14.1", but the laptop has dimensions close to my old 17" one - it is the same width, but an inch shorter. This is due to the wide border around the screen. - not very light

Overall Review: - The GPU is 4670, however it is clocked as a 4650 and the driver does not allow overclocking. You may be able to use a 3rd party tool. - Screen resolution is a bit small, but works well for this size screen. Overall I find this to be a great compromise between performance and size. Its versatility makes it a great all-around computer - you can play games on it, work, surf, play movies and drive an external TV. It is exactly what I was looking for, even though it is not perfect.

simply amazing

Mass Effect PC Game
Mass Effect PC Game

Pros: Great story, very nice graphics (almost photorealistic), great fighting system, novel fighting styles with technics and biotics, romance subplot

Cons: - gets a little repetitive, if you want to explore planets that are not part of the main plot - when fighting, you cannot aim from the tactical screen (with action paused) and keep the aim when you continue - the effect of weapons, upgrades, etc is not avalable as a value in your stats, so you just have to guess at it - items did not get better in a satisfying curve (hard to explain, but it just did not feel as good getting new items as with other RPGs). - romance does not have direct effect on gameplay - romance plot is fairly limited, and the "controversial" love scenes are tame and 5-6 seconds long. i would have liked a little more payoff in that area.

Overall Review: an awesome game, i loved playing it, can't wait for Mass Effect 2.

surprisingly good
