Advantages: Great performance, unbelievable overclocking, high quality
Disadvantages: Large Vdroop, Easytune temperamental, IDE socket placement may cause problems

...I recently wrote a review for the Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4L board. I wrote of how the board seemed excellent, but the two I used broke within a week, for no apparent reason. This board is another storey. The installation was very easy, especially as the board is slightly thinner than standard ATX boards, which allows more room to work in. All the connectors on the board are in sensible positions. The only problem I encountered was that the IDE socket gets in the way of one of the PCI cards - it fits, but it's a bit of a squeeze. The BIOS offers all options you would expect, including RAID and NCQ setups for the 8 SATA ports provided. It is when it comes to overclocking that this board excels. My FSB will run at at least 450MHz, 117 higher than the stock 1333Mhz. There are various voltage options, including CPU, memory, northbridge... Read review

Advantages: Quality of British Airways!, Great on-board service!.
Disadvantages: Pretty expensive as only recognised airline company which flies to Gibraltar!

...GB Airways is a company set up in Gibraltar which controls most flights between England to South Spain and North Africa. GB Airways is a franchise from British Airways so everything is of their standards. The meals where slightly poor on the morning flights but the return meals in the afternoons where a lot better than expected!. I take regualr flights between Gatwick and Gibraltar. I have never ever been late on arrival, only slight delays on take-off. The on-board entertainment was poor as there was no radio or anything to listen too. The on-flight magazine was poor too as it was one magazine for all destinations so languages where split into many regardless of space!. However, GB Airways is the only company with high reputation that flies to Gibraltar but so if it's quality you're looking for, GB Airlines is the one to choose... Read review

Advantages: Excellent board layout

Advantages: Easy To Use And Great Design
Disadvantages: None So Far

...Sony Sports Walkman 1 GB Silver This Sony mp3 player was designed to be used whilst participating in sport. Sony has defiantly achieved their goal, as this mp3 player is perfect in every which way. I use mp3 Sony mp3 player when I go to the gym or go out for a run. With 80 GB iPods on the market some people may think 1 GB of memory is no a lot. If you want better memory then you can buy a 2 GB version, which come in black. I have never had any problems with my Sony mp3 player. The sound quality is very high and the mp3 player its self is very durable. I have dropped this mp3 player many times and it still works perfectly. This mp3 player is very simple and easy to use. The battery life is good and usually lasts about 8 hours with music playback. I paid about £60 for my Sony Sports Walkman and it was well worth it. This mp3 player... Read review

Advantages: Great game, each character has individual characteristics and skills and strengths and uses. You need to be able to order your men to do things efficiently.
Disadvantages: Can become very hard in the later levels.

...Note. This walkthrough assumes you retrieve decoy, cigarette packs and crawl after killing. This is a walkthrough for mission 3 at hard level: Get all Commandos to the house and behind the wheel cart. Kill the 2 soldiers nearby with the Green Beret (GB) using decoy or cigarette pack. Carry bodies behind cart. Have all but the driver at the top of map and crawling. When the 3-man patrol comes near cart, have Driver machine-gun them down. Alarm will sound. 2 more sets of 3 man patrols will come to investigate. Machine-gun them too. No more will come. Use the GB to fetch the guard near the fountain with a cigarette pack. Punch him when he isn't looking and carry him back to cart and handcuff him for later use. Get the remaining guard that is walking between the 3 houses with sound decoy placed between the middle and left house. Take... Read review

Advantages: Lots of space for all your gaming needs.
Disadvantages: Price, Dust, Missing GB

...My personal experience with the Xbox 360 hard drive has been fairly positive. The ability to store music, films, videos and of course games saves is one that no Xbox gamer should be without. 120 GB of memory is more than enough for the average gamer. The hard drive is well designed to blend with the console perfectly. It is small and easy to store. However the price is pretty heavy compared to the cheaper 20GB versions. A problem with the memory is the fact that the hard drive does not actually have 120GB, obviously it wouldn't be exactly due to the need for the running files but several GB are actually missing. Regular cleaning is advised as dust tends to collect on the hard drive but a sharp blow into the docking port is sufficient to clear this. All in all this product is an incredibly useful addition to any Xbox 360 gamers arsenal... Read review

Advantages: High Quality Music Playback
Disadvantages: Video Quality Isnt Great

...hours of video playback or 15 hours of music playback. With 1 GB of memory you can hold about 400-500 songs which is plenty. Viewing pictures is very easy. You simply click on picture on the menu and you can view all of your favourite pictures. Overall the Philips Go Gear 1 GB is great and easy to use. I recommend this product to all potential buyers.

Advantages: Excellent to Store data, home video & music files, 4.7gb, 16x speed, just 5 mins to burn
Disadvantages: None, well None for me

...First of all just like to mention that for me personally Verbatim DVD's are the best QUALITY DVD's. The Verbatim 16x DVD has 4.7GB of data or 120 minutes of video can be recorded in just 5 minutes. YES JUST FIVE MINUTES, I was surprised by myself that the DVD could be recoreded so QUICKLY. the 16x discs will ensure any recording to be of the highest quality and the multiplicity compatibility of Verbatim's discs make the DVD's very ideal for sharing and Storing computer data. Great to store Home videos and Music Files on. Features of Verbatim DVD: -4.7 GB capacity -Highest level of recording stability - The DVD+R offers up to 4 hours of the highest quality MPEG-2 video and is (well it was definatly for me) a cost effective solution for storing, editing of data, audio and video files. Another benefit of this product is Its high... Read review

Advantages: Maximizes the amount of data vs the cost of the product
Disadvantages: heat issues, cord connectivity, and small installation problems.

...Some people call me ignorant for using Maxtor, but I honestly only order Maxtor for my hard drives. Now the only downside to the Maxtor 500 GB is that it is an external drive that, if not careful, can overheat and cause connectivity problems, transfer speed issues, or just annoyance from when the usb gets knocked out. That being said, if you can get past the downside of have an external I would recommend this product to anyone not using a Mac. The only reason I do not recommend this to Mac owners is because Mac is the only type of computer that I myself will not touch. I have filled this thing up to about half it potential and when I do manage to full it up, I will write agian to let you know the outcome.... Read review

Advantages: Fast except multithread read,good capacity, stable, 5 years warranty
Disadvantages: Weak at multithread/multiple reads, a little noisy

...I've used a similar model for a long time and I have mixed opinions about 7200.10 hard drives. The good things of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 Seagate hdd are the most stables drives in the market, I've used my drive for quite a time and never experienced a single problem. Large capacity, 320 GB is more than enough (300 Gb real) Good speed, especially at writing data, but also at reading excepting multiple file copy. Speed is about 75-80 Mb at large files The access time is about 13-14ms (about the same as other hdd) Temperature IS OK. Very stable and reliable The not so good things: Multitasking read performance. While on single thread the performance is high, 75 Mb, while increasing the threads, many aplications used the speed drops at about 5-10 Mb A little noisy especially when many aplications are used Conclusion. Good hard drive... Read review
