Your feet will love you!
Advantages: You can wear them all day without crippling yourself
Disadvantages: Not for 'high end technical' stuff.
...Rossignol soft ski boots are possibly the best skiing product for recreational skiers' since someone first strapped bits of wood to their feet.
Soft boots are quite different from the 'normal' boots in that rather than a solid outer shell which holds your ankle and leg rigidly in place they are like tough padded lace up boots with some solid casing in strategic places.
This has good points and bad points depending on your skiing style but for most 'normal' skiers they are the dogs whatsits!
So - I have been skiing for 15 years but I'm too lazy to do anything too exciting and I've not pushed myself beyond a pretty good intermediate - therefore I don't need highly technical equipment. I ski for about 2 or 3 weeks a year if I'm lucky and I'm probably exactly the target market for these boots. (You can get different grades...

Review of Rossignol Soft Light Boots

Ski of the year in some mags - I'm not surprised!
Advantages: Go anywhere do almost anything - on snow, of course!
Disadvantages: Snow melts :o(
...There I was wandering round the Ski Show at the NEC looking for my dream ski - Salomon's X-Scream Series - at a decent price. I found it several times over, but as usual, overpriced for what they were. Salomon's never seem to be bargains, in my experience. Then the boss of my favourite holiday company suggested looking at Rossignol's Bandit B2. According to him, the French ski shops loved them. Intrigued, I wandered around again looking for them. No luck. They didn't seem to be there. Disappointed, I went home and decided to look on the net for this mysterious ski. I didn't find much there, either. I began to wonder if they really existed.
A week or two later, I bought a skiing magazine that had a review of all the upcoming 2004 skis. And in there, was a review of the mythical beast that was the Rossi B2, along with it's siblings...

Review of Rossignol Bandit B2 Skis

They have barely changed in 2 years - Wonder Why!?
Advantages: Durability, speed and control - Superb!!
Disadvantages: There's no snow!
...Rossignol have kept these bad boys pretty much the same for the past 2 seasons simply because there is nothing they could do to make them better!
These skis are guaranteed fun, on or off-piest. I'm going to keep them for at least 10 years.
Not quite as fast as my old school Rossignol 198's but then again Bandits are like paddles in comparison. The wide structure does help them cruise nicely over powder and still leaves you with a great degree of control on piested runs as well!
Perfect ski for those of an intermediate or advanced level.
Very hard to fault them but I would say they need tip guards as these do tend to get a little cut up. Not really a fault, just a good idea if you want to keep them looking as slick as they did when you bought them....

Great taste and great value for money
Advantages: Doesn't taste powdery, good range of flavours
Disadvantages: Sometimes difficult to get hold of it
...When you're out on the bike, sweating away in the weights room, or whatever your preferred exercise is, you need something that is going to get fluid into you with minimal effort and without making you feel physically ill. SIS have successfully hit the balance with an electrolyte that does what it needs without being too sickly sweet and which mixes easily, quickly and without lumps.
The biggest disadvantage we've found with other electrolyte sports drinks is the whey flavour that seems to permeate them and leave you with a powdery flavour in your mouth. However, this has never been an issue with SIS electrolyte.
When mixed in advance for a 7 hour bike ride, it is as drinkable at the end of the ride as it was at the start and doesn't seem to re-separate. Though a word of warning that if you don't rinse the bottles out at the end...

My Winner
Advantages: This motherboard works in a great speed and stability.
Disadvantages: I have not found it, yet.
...Bridge and South Bridge are combined to be 1 chipset (SIS735)
Sound Onboard = AC97 Codec
Price = USD 71
You know that finally ECS K7S5A. The price (USD 71) was not the main factor that changed my mind to choose ECS K7S5A. I was thinking and thinking about my needs. At my first glance, certainly I thought that ASUS was the best of all. But realizing that those motherboards were new products, the famous brands could not be hold as the only reference.
How did I solve my problem? The only way was to measure the performance of each motherboard. Certainly it was impossible to do it for all motherboards. Hence, I had to determine some motherboards to be benchmarked, namely ASUS A7V266, ABIT KG7 and ECS K7S5A.
I chose ASUS and ABIT because I thought that they had great reputations and certainly they were worth considering. Then ECS was...

A great beginners motherboard
Advantages: Simple, Reliable
Disadvantages: Lacking newer features
...means you won't have to spend additional money buying a separate sound card. This is AC97 sound, which is easily customised through supplied control software.
The SR7-8x supports the powerful Pentium 4 processor and I have had no problems at all with its performance or reliability.
It has the SIS 648 chipset, which is known for reliability. The SIS CD supplied with the motherboard contains drivers, utilities and documentation to help with the motherboard.
Perhaps the most integral part of the motherboard is the RAM that you must attach to it. The SR7-8x supports different ratios of memory modules to allow for high speed, low cost, or somewhere between the two. It supports three onboard DDR DIMMs supporting up to 2GB of DDR333 memory or 3GB of DDR200/266 memory.
-Important Things to Know-
This motherboard is only suited for Pentium...
