A7V333

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, AMD board
Disadvantages: Socket A, so wont work with Intel cpu's

...I bought my ASUS A7V333 for £85 online. It boasted many modern features, a good BIOS, and the ability to add loads of RAM. The ASUS motherboard costs a little less than some other motherboards, mainly because it is a Socked A board. This means that the only processors it can take are AMD Socket A processors like the Athlon 1800 that I have in mine. The board boasts the standard 5 PCI slots for all your Modem and network cards, and has the newest AGP X4 AGP slot, meaning new cards like the nVidia GeForce 4 cards can run to their full capacity. One nice little touch on the A7V333, is that in addition to a top of the range AMD Athlon XP2200+, you could also have 3GB of PC2700 333MHZ RAM. Unfortunately since 256megs of that RAM costs about £60, i work that out to be between £500 and £600 for 3 Gigs. Ive also seen 4 fan power slots...

Review of ASUS A7V333 - motherboard - ATX - Socket A - KT333

ASUS Laptop!!!

Advantages: Great value, State of the art Processor, Built-in Webcam
Disadvantages: Heats up fast, weighs 4Kg

...I recently bought one of these Asus laptops of the A7C Series and for a manufacturer who I had never heard of before I was pleasantly surprised. With 2GB RAM, 200GB HDD and Intel Core 2 Duo Processor the laptop runs very quickly and you are very unlikely to ever run out of space! The 17" display is ideal for watching DVDs or just for those who like to have a lot on their screens and is very clear and bright compared to others I looked at. The only cost of having a large 17" screen is that there is increased weight, - this laptop weighs in at 4Kg, which isn't bad as some 17" Laptops are upto about 4.5Kg. The laptop comes equipped with a built-in 1.3MP webcam located above the screen which provides a clear image for 1.3MP and is very useful for IM!!! Considering that Windows Vista has only been out a few months, the laptop is...

ASUS X5DIJ Laptop - It Hasn't Converted Me (Totally)!

Advantages: Impressive hard drive
Disadvantages: Short battery life

...in and charging. When running just on battery power it does tend to stay fairly cool. BUT with the battery only giving 3 hours life at the very most, it is often necessary to keep it plugged in rather than regularly receive a message to say the battery?s about to run out. To date I've not had to call on the manufacturer (Asus) for any support as I've had no problems in that area. I understand that the machine has a 12 month warranty and if it develops problems I would need to contact the vendor, which in this case was Amazon. THE EXCITING (OR MAYBE NOT REALLY THAT EXCITING) TECHNICAL SPECS OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - the 64-bit Edition Dimensions (WxDxH): 37 cm x 25.6 cm x 3.6 cm Weight: 2.6 kg System Type: Notebook (so they say; I?m convinced it?s a Laptop!) Built-in Devices: Stereo speakers, wireless LAN aerial...
