CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory with Airflow Fan Model TR3X6G1866C7GTF G

Pros: Sticks worked for 3 week.

Cons: After 3 weeks my machine one morning wouldn't boot. After extensive trouble shooting only 1 stick of three will boot the machine.

Overall Review: I have bought Corsair RAM since I started my own builds 10 years ago. I have NEVER had RAM I paid this much for break and NEVER had Corsair RAM not work! I am very disappointed! I have to RMA RAM I paid over $250 for and wait 3 weeks for RAM I HOPE works!!!!! Corsair what is going on?????

Not C&C

Command & Conquer 4 PC Game
Command & Conquer 4 PC Game

Pros: None

Cons: Not sure where to start so i will keep it sort. This game is nothing like previous C&C games!

Overall Review: I have been playing C&C since the first release of the game in 1996 called Command & Conquer ‘back when Pentium 133Mhz, 32MB RAM, and 4MB Video cards where Blazing fast’. Since then the games story line has changed from Red Alert to C&C but the game's game play stayed true to the original Tride and True Formal. This is an entirely new game play concept, I am Very Disappointed! EA should have stuck to the original game play, Thousands of defecated fans "your Cash Cow' Feel betrayed!!!!!!

WOW, WOW, WOW

Pros: I am able to run all Games at max setting with no lag. I upgraded from 2 GTX285's OC2 to these 2 cards. All 3dmark benchmarks, game benchmarks and real world game play has been improved around 25% to 35% for the same price.

Cons: They aren't 2GB models??

Pros: Great card, high default clock speeds. Great Frame rates

Cons: You need to increase voltage to overclock stability beyond factor settings. This is not recommend for novas/most users!

Overall Review: I have been able to overclock my 2 cards to 740Mhz Clock and 1425Mhz Memory clock with a slight voltage tweak. Can handle any game you through at it.

Intel does it again

Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920
Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920

Pros: What a great Chip. I have mine running at 3.67 CPU Ratio 21 DRAM 1756mHz. That is a 1ghz overclock or a 40% overclock.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I am running a D0 stepping at 1.50 CPU Voltage, 1.489 CPU Pull Voltage, and 1.465 QPI/DRAM Core Voltage. Using a Zalman 9900 my core runs at 96 degrees Fahrenheit ideal and under load 125 degrees Fahrenheit. By load I mean Prime95 for 24 hours. So I have no idea what the people saying the CPU runs hot are talking about? Can't wait for the 950! I will most likely be able to hit 4.2Ghz on Air
