Sony CMR PC1

Advantages: Very good bargain
Disadvantages: Compatibility issues with certain games

...My previous 3D graphics card was an ATI Rage 32MB which is quite old and it doesn't have the capability to run the latest games so I decided to upgrade. I bought the Connect 3D Radeon 9600 from Savastore for just a tad over £60 which is a real bargain for a 256MB graphics card. The main reason for upgrading to Radeon 9600 was to play Need for Speed Underground which requires a lot of graphics processing.

Advantages: looks good
Disadvantages: expensive

...well i have always been a sony fan for the sheer elegance of their models and the Sony TZ11 is no different. of course you do pay for what you get hence the Sony TZ11 is not the cheapest model available in the market for it's specs. i would recommend a toshiba for the perfect balance of price vs. durability and reliability. sony models are very likely to break down just after the warranty runs out if over used e.g. leaving it on all night or constantly runnings many application and the prices just to get it looked at are sky high! this doesn't bother me as i tend to change model every 6 months or so as my work requires me to be up-to-date. if in safe hands, and used wisely, however, a sony will perform everytime so highly recommended!...
