Very fast, very impressed.

Advantages: Fast transfer rate, reliable
Disadvantages: Can't think of any.

...The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapter came built in to my pc, and I wouldn't want to replace it. It provides a fast, reliable connection. Was easy to connect to and set up a connection with other pc's, laptop's, etc. Great for gamers or business' that require wired link up between machines, servers or both. Felt like the data transfer was instant, so was perfect for backing up data from one machine onto another Driver's are very easy to get hold of, just download them straight from the manufacturers website. Which also has very good support, if any problems should arise. Very fast if needing updating due to new driver releases. I would highly recommend this ethenet adapter to anyone. Especially gamers or small businesses....

Review of Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet PCIe NIC Card

Neat Netgear 5 port gigabit switch

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, simple to use
Disadvantages: None.

...about anything other than configuring the devices themselves. I would recommend this switch to anyone who has a few machines on their home or small office network, that way you can upgrade the speed critical machines on your network to gigabit speeds. I bought my two to allow me to use one with my media server and file server, and the other in my living room to connect the laptop, XBOX and so on... By having a gigabit switch, it allowed my machines with gigabit ethernet cards to network at full speed with each other, so that transferring video and large files between them was not constrained to hundred megabit speeds you find with most home and home office networks. I think the 5 port switch is pitched at the right price, and has the right number of ports for the average home user who will usually have one or two computers and a games...

Review of NETGEAR GS605 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch - switch - 5 ports

THE INTEL PROCESSOR.

Advantages: HAS FAST PROCESSING ABILITIES.
Disadvantages: : THE FAN CAUSES NOISE.

...The Intel processor has made me to see many reasons to update my PC with It. The Intel processor since I installed it has been serving me very well. My most likes on it is that it is very fast in processing and that has paved way for my pc to perform many things like in the case of playing games with my pc and the rest of them. The processor is quite easy to install so when it comes to that, there is no problem in doing that but to achieve a reliable goal on installation, you must have to read the instruction manual very well for the manufacturers brief description on the product. The installation of this processor has given my pc a very good processing speed and abilities. I got this because this was the best processor I could afford to buy at that moment. Well I look forward on buying another advanced make of the Intel...

Intel Desktop Board D845GVSR

Advantages: Easy to use and very fast
Disadvantages: none

...Extreme Graphics with up to 64 MB Dynamic Video Memory but this graphics is not at all meted to today games thats why i changed my system.There is one dedicated plot for graphics card but not sure that will work.We also have Integrated Intel PRO 10/100 Network Connector: Onboard 10/100-Mbps Ethernet LAN connectivity; AC'97 Audio. If any one is buying a system for entertainment or for internet then this mother board is the best and if you are buying for gaming then we should go for new mother board and make sure that mother board have integrated pixel shader in it . In my view this is till date the bets mother board Intel have made...

THE INTEL PROCESSOR.

Advantages: VERY HIGH SPEED IN PROCESSING
Disadvantages: : MAKES NOISE.

...I got this just for two reasons; the number one reason is that my other Intel seems to be outdated and the number two reasons is that I wanted a more advanced and faster processor for my PC gaming so I had to buy this for these reasons. The processor comes in an orange packed colour with blue stripe at the edge of the pack and also with an instruction, heat stick and fan for cooling down the temperature. The processor makes it outright for easy installation and application so no problem when it comes to installations and ease of use. The Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHZ socket 775 CPU has hyper technology and I think that was the best processor computer product I could find in the market and I decided to buy it after a long battle between Intel and athlon processor on which one to buy. The Intel processors that I have been using have been...

Intel Core i7 920 Review

Advantages: Fast, quad core, best for gaming, runs cool, big cache size
Disadvantages: price

...The Intel core i7 is the new processor range from Intel. The core i7 is the fastest processor yet to be unleashed into the marked. It comes in three different models at the moment however there are plans to release another 3 more. At the moment of when this review was written there are only three types; 920 (2.66 GHz), 240 (2.93 GHz) and the 940 Extreme Processor (3.2 GHz). each of the processors have 8MB of cache which means you will be able to run your PC faster as it will use large memory to process the information. the i7 is also a quad core CPU which means it will multi-task extremely well. When I used this Processor on my system, it ran extremely fast and only using about 8% of CPU usage when opening programs, surfing the web, watching a DVD. It rarely goes over 50% when playing games such as Counter Strike: Source and Left 4...

Intel Xeon The Best Server Processor!

Advantages: Fast, Cheap, Stable
Disadvantages: Nothing

...1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from store. Pros: Excellent performance per watt. I'll be using these processors in a machine that will be doing a lot of video compression and 3D modeling, which are some of the applications that Intel processors are better suited for than A M D's (comparing the Clover town X e o n to the Barcelona O p t e r o n). I like A M D's C P U s too, but I n t e l s are the better tool for these jobs. Cons: None so far, but there is a caveat that purchasers should be aware of. The LGA771 socket requires a special case that accommodates the heat sink for the processors. The LGA771 specs require that the heat sink be attached directly to the case instead of the motherboard. And so the case needs a special set of standoffs or a mounting plate for the heat sink to screw onto. Intel says the case...

Intel Desktop Board D945GCCR

Advantages: VREY FAST
Disadvantages: none

...This is my third mother board i am working.I bought this moth board two years ago and till now i did not have any problem this is the best mother board i have worked. This mother board will work if we have a compatible processor like Intel Core2 Duo, Intel Pentium D, Intel Pentium 4.But the processor should be greater than 2.99Ghz if the processor is less than this then it will to work.Dual core processor means there will be two processors working simultaneously with multi threading concept for better performance.So your processor is 2.2Ghz dual core Processor then it is 2.2+2.2=4.4GHz. This mother board contain two slots for RAM and its bus speed supporting up to 800/533 MHz and we will use DDR2 RAM for this mother board.we have no separate port for printer but we can access printer using USB this is new...

Review of Intel Desktop Board D945GCCR - motherboard - micro ATX - i945GC

A Return to the Intel Fold

Advantages: Blistering performance. Good overclocker. 64-bit processing.
Disadvantages: Pricey. Heat sink and fan is a little strange.

...will suffice to say that I bought an Intel 975X chipset motherboard, 2GB of RAM, and a middle-of-the-road graphics card. When the system arrived, I built everything else, and arrived at the installation of the CPU. The processor has no pins on it's underside - that was the first thing that I found strange. Instead, it has a matrix of copper pads, which touch the pins sticking up from the 'socket' on the motherboard. It was easy to determine which way the processor went in, and it was also extremely easy to close the processor retainer. Once the processor was in though, I attempted to fit the heat sink and fan. It was a strange process. It all fitted together OK...it's just the 'feel' of it that I didn't like. Basically, the heat sink fits onto the socket using four corner pins.Once these are in place, it's a case of pressing each one...
