Seagate ST3300622AS-RK Barracuda 300 GB SATA NCQ Internal Hard Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this drive to replace a 260GB Maxtor that died after 2 years. It had a one year warranty and the deciding factor for this drive was the 5 year warranty. Good thing my back up drive which was a year older still works.
Why only 4 stars? Who knows how long this one will last? If it lasts to the end of the warranty, I'll give it 6 stars.
Here are its strong points:
Good manual
Pleasantly surprised to find it has a cloning program in the installation. Clone your existing drive for a perfect back-up.
Good installation CD
Comes with Data and drive cables.
Here are its weak points:
The manual is written with some key points in tiny type. My 70 year old eyes got a bit strained.
Many instructions need to be read several times before I understood the sequence to follow.
They didn't remind me to Defrag and Chkdsk the old drive before cloning.
Good thing I remembered. Do the Chkdsk with the /f and /r switches

All in all, so far I am satisfied.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ 2.1 GHz Processor Socket AM2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Lost a star because processors still cost much more than than they should, in my opinion.Apart from that, this thing has been running my computer very well.Low energy consumption contributes to really cool temps.This was the best value I could find when shopping around (in terms of processor, not storefront).It's worked like I expected it to, based on it's specs.I could probably overclock it a lot if I wanted.

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8 GHz 6x512 KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Processor - Retail HDT55TFBGRBOX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok. For those who are Intel fans or for those who are not sure about this CPU, let me say a few words. I am an Intel fan and I own all Intel CPUs. Now, that being stated here comes the facts. I am a scientist and I work in a lab with 9 more people including other scientists and research assistants. We have 6 computers in the lab, all with same amount of RAM and storage: 4 computers are using Intel Core i7 960 Bloomfield. The other 2 computers are using this processor (Phenom II X6 1055T).All of us randomly work on and switch around these 6 computers during our 10 hour work day. We use all sorts of scientific software from data analysis to databases to performing complex scientific calculations. Noone notices any difference in performance. Noone says "yes, I was on the AMD computer and it took a bit longer to finish." Noone says "It's taking a while because I am on the AMD." If there is a difference in performance, it is so small that it is not noticeable in these tasks. I can't comment on gaming performance. We don't play games. In summary, this is an excellent CPU for the price.
