Advantages: Simple interface
Disadvantages: VERY low frame rate, even on powerful PCs

...Well, I guess the title says enough about my opinion - the program fails in most of my interest areas : a decent frame rate that will not drop below 5 (!) fps each time a chapter changes, and better color stepping ( when there are color gradients, ie a blue sky near the sun, where color "steps" from white to blue there are descrete color steps ! I am currently using a Pentium3 @ 733MHz, and LeadTech's GeForce AGP card ( the program actually came with the card ! )..... 128MB of RAM and 32MB of graphics card RAM.... I think the program is simply inexcusable. Though it has a nice & simple interface, I'd personally go for something with more power to it, even if the cost is on the interface. thank you...

Advantages: Graphics
Disadvantages: Music

...to construct base. During the game it is possible to note, that squares of a card is nevertheless not absolutely " game cages ". For example, the airplanes are displaced on a card continuously and are intercepted not in center of a cage, namely in that place, where you have indicated by the mouse. The window interface TC outwardly is similar to windows of the game Ascendancy. By the way, in maiden some minutes of a command of the interface look rather unexpectedly, but inconvenient them to call them it is impossible. Two words can be described the interface so: good, but unusual. For same, who has got used to the interface of games from MicroProse, he really can show firstly is inconvenient a little. All remaining is made as very well, except for music, she is a little uniform.... Read review

Advantages: Plays Half-life 2!
Disadvantages: 64MB Memory

...The Geforce 3 ti500 is a good playing card. It works well with most new games like Half-life 2. I have had it for over 2 year and its still working as well as when I bought it.

Advantages: Easy to configure / Support all Protocols
Disadvantages: None found so far (time will tell)

...Netgear FA310TX network cards offer the best value for money named network card. The card is very simple to install under windows 95/98 Or NT Server and Workstation just using the enclosed driver diskette (TCP/IP, Netbui and IPX all bound to the card just fine). The card supports 10/100 Mbps, Auto-sensing RJ-45 interface and Full or half-duplex modes. So far compared to all of the card's that we have used on our LAN this unit has proven to be absolutely faultless (could change, but only time will tell) for £14.00 + VAT. I have got 20+ of these cards running in a mixed OS enviroment connected either a 3COM 3300 24 Port switch, HP 10/100 Hubb or various other Hubbs doted around the office to provide connectivity. I think the best way to summerise would be that for a medium+ network these cards work absoultely fine. (After all BAY... Read review
