Allied Telesis CentreCOM 210TS

Advantages: Fantastic budget card.
Disadvantages: Limited overclocking facilities. Fails to run the latest titles.

...Last December, I was assigned the task of building a low -cost PC for a relative. With only a maximum of 35 pounds to spend on a video card my choice was limited. I finally opted for Sapphire's version of the Ati Radeon 7000 model. It cost about 28 pounds at the time, and is possibly the finest budget card I've come across. One of its main advantages is its stability, I used a tool called Riva Tuner to overclock it somewhat, the heatsink handled it fine! Sadly though, the overclocking didn't produce any marked improvement, the only benefit being a slight increase of frame rate on Counter-Strike and Medal of Honour: Allied Assualt. This aside, the card is fantastic for the price. It runs popular games such as Counterstrike (Non-source of course) aswell as any game predating the year 2002. However, it doesn't run more recent...

Advantages: Cheap and runs most older games with minimal fuss.
Disadvantages: No shader support and not very powerful.

...With this card on the market i really wanted this one when i was buying a new PC. Having no idea about the games being developed and the details of graphics cards I got one. I was impressed how it boosted the detail of every game i had in my house. I was able to play "medal of honour: allied assault" quite well with a decent Framerate of around 80-100. Most games nowadays require shader support, and that is something this card does not have therefore you will very likely loose out on the features of that game plus a very poor framerate due to the old design of this card. Make no mistake though, Nvidia have a reputation for not making good quality graphics available but they specialise in the stability of their cards. And this card was very stable, i dont remember any unnecissary rendering times and RAM access. There a bunch... Read review

Advantages: Drive is really handy and very cheap.
Disadvantages: no problems very setisfied.

...Hi All....I am heaving this mini san drive since last two years...and it is good value of money...This flash drive took a dive with me into the Atlantic ocean and didn't suffer any ill effects. It never lost any data and still works fine two year later. The drive is incredibly durable, and I love not having to install anything to access the data. I can transfer files without any fuss at all. I don't think I'd buy a flash drive from any other company.... USB storage keys are extremely handy for anyone who spends any amount of time on more than one computer. This model is compact and has endured physical rigors without a problem... It works with Windows XP, in all its versions, find the flash drive immediately.....The cap doesn't go out as other flash drive. .... The drive fit in any usb port with no problem, 2.0 and 1.1 speed... Read review
