Went in fast. Runs faster.
Pros: Easy install. Good 130mb throughput!
Overall Review: Buy one
3.5 years isn't long enough
Pros: Worked as supplied in my Tivo DVR
Cons: Started fruiting out about 3 months ago, now fails every test in the DVR, lags out. Was maybe 3.5 years old max.
Overall Review: since I didn't want the next one to only last 3.5 yrs I bought a different model.
Solid RAM
Pros: Worked Great out of the box...good price.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Time to overclock and play!
Veddy, Veddy Nice!
Pros: Worked out of the box. Stock cooling 38C Doesn't make the lights dim in the house when you turn it on!
Cons: None
Overall Review: It's the price/performance sweet spot for AMD right now. The other dual core chips do nothing for games-just get the best Athlon64 you can afford.
Great Bundle!
Pros: -Nice bundle for the money! -7800GT rips through my games like butter including COH. My monitor doesn't HAVE enough resolution to test this card. 4X faster than my old AMD1.2/GeForce3 rig.
Cons: Nforce4 motherboard bundled with card is a bit thin--installing the AMD heatsink creates a scary looking bend in the board. I have no idea how to use NVTweak successfully with this video board--just locks up and goes away. If I want to OC, looks like manual effort.
Overall Review: INSTANT NewEgg delivery--the card and the motherboard & CPU, came in two successive days. System: AMD 3500+/2.2 Nforce 4 SLI EVGA M/B Creative X-Fi Xtrememusic Mad Dog 6/1 DVD/RW 420W PS Ugly old beige case 23488 3D2001
