Advantages: Good laughs and great goals
Disadvantages: Only 58 minutes long

...Soccer AM is a Saturday morning show on Sky sports one every Saturday and it helps cover the English football leagues from the week before and what games are going to be played for the following week. It also has other features like about 3 different guests will come onto the show e.g. one could be an injured footballer, one could be a celebrity and another could be a few band members for a music group. Not only do they have guests and football highlights they also have 8 fans in from a certain football team and some of the crew members have their own part of the show like Tube's question. No this is a big hit on TV soothe first DVD, Soccer AM 1, was quite good so this DVD had good expectations. In Soccer AM 2 it is different to the normal show as they like to focus on a certain idea that do just another show but on a DVD so... Read review

Advantages: cheap, stable and responsive, easy installation and runs right off the box
Disadvantages: hot chipset

...detailed digital copy of the manual and other instructions materials that can be found in the cd driver. All in all, the user manual plus the different intruction materials in the the cd driver will give one a fair understanding of the workings of the motherboard. The Motherboard The thing that I immediately noticed with this motherboard is its single bridge configuration. Most motherboards have two bridges: the north and south bridge. This is so because most chipsets come in pairs. In the case of the AM2NF6G-VSTA, there is no need to have two bridges because it is built around the NVDIA GF6100-405 chipset, which, according to what I read in the net, is a single chipset solution. With only one chipset positioned in the usual place of the south bridge, the area around the processor socket is not as cramped as one would expect of a micro... Read review

...GA-7VTX Socket A Gigabyte dual bios motherboard. Introduction; This Dual Bios motherboard designed to accept AMD/Duron/Athlon/XP processors,incorperates onboard sound,+4 USB,with DDR memorey and in innovative dual bios system. Having myself tried and tested this motherboard for 6 months in two machines,I am totally convinced of is usefulness and it's place in the market.Providing a very stable board and up to date technology,it has the added benefit of a system that protects your bios against viruses,power fluctuations,incorrect bios upgrades and bios chip failure. Its incorperated resources and features are good,and ample for a very respectable system.However there are a few factors to be considered when choosing a motherboard,and most of the conflicts and incompatibilty problems I have encountered are not documented...

Advantages: Incredibly cheap, reliable CPU
Disadvantages: FSB+Cache could be better

...The Sempron 3000+, now a lower end, low cost CPU. Is it still worth buying? In short, yes. I have just this week purchased a new PC, decided on the socket AM2 sempron3000+. So far, so very, very good. This is a chip that impresses, at around £35, you'd expect a budget, just about usable chip. This is far from reality, running XP professional edition is no longer a hair-loss inducing experience, and even better, I no longer get horrible skips and jumps and pauses through music and video. For the overclockers, this is a recommended buy. We all know overclocking can be a risky business, but at this price, it really doesn't matter if you do need a new one. As far as overclocking goes, I've seen this chip OC at 50%, and heard it can run stable at more. Buying an AM2 mainboard for your new chip will also make life much... Read review

Advantages: Dual Core, Low power usage* and Fast!
Disadvantages: Motherboards can be costly for this!

...I used this processor to build a completely new computer for xmas (a present for myself ha ha!) and when i first opened the box it was the usual core. In the package there was the core, cool silver gel, heatsink (fan) and the instructions. I had to buy a new motherboard anyway but be wary the motherboards for the AM2 versions can be rather pricey but the advantage of AM2 means that a lower power usage and so a cooler processor and less fans needed! Also the AM2 board means that the memory accepted is the newer DDR2 RAM which is roughly the same price as DDR RAM but faster! Excellent! Installing the processor was little trouble and there were no problems. The performance of the processor is excellent, dual cores are excellent things! I bought this after thinking about buying a dual core pentium however they are very similar... Read review

Advantages: Quality and fast overclocking, great for games
Disadvantages: In the shadow of the Core 2 duo motherboards

...When purchasing my new computer i needed a motherboard that could handle the latest technology and compete with the latest releases. The ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard fitted within my budget of one hundred pounds and offered a powerful tool for over clocking my components to keep my machine competing with the stresses of new programs and hardware. Fitting the motherboard and installing the other hardware was exactly the same as fitting other motherboards. The ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard supports the AMD AM2 cpu and thus supports DDR2 ram, this meant that when recycling my old computer i was unable to use the cpu or the RAM and needed to purchase these items again. The passive cooling on the ASUS M2N32-SLI means that no fans are needed to cool the motherboard making it quiet. The motherboard comes with a optional fan which snaps onto... Read review

Advantages: Could safe a life, hides an ugly feature, very affordable
Disadvantages: None - everyone should use these

...are hardly attractive, you can buy attractive covers that go around them and improve the look of them so why not go one step further and hide those ugly pins, if not for safety then for image. So you have put it in, now how do you get it out? Well ok, finger nails do come in handy here. I find it is best to go for one corner and it easily comes out. This is not any inconvenience at all. Just remember that because it is in an electrical socket never try to get it out with anything metal as that’s a risk just not worth taking. Just remember if you have children to store them safely away and not to leave them hanging around. Your child will think it’s a toy and try and play with it. So, now I have my electrical sockets covered that’s the end of my hazards with electric? Not at all I am afraid. When you have a child unfortunately... Read review

Advantages: keep little fingers out of sockets
Disadvantages: none

...Little fingers love to explore, to find holes to poke themselves in, or pick up things to poke into holes. Inquisitive fingers great until it comes to putting them in the electric socket and getting a fatal electric shock. So make your sockets safe if you have young children around. I have made the sockets safe at work.I shall recommend My daughter has safe sockets in her house(I thought you had some already) I shall be making mine safe before baby Adrian gets inquisitive. There are several socket guards available these are the ones I have at work. I do not think it maters much which style you get but I would certainly recommend that electric sockets have a safety cover of some kind. These ones I think by Tomee Tippee are fairly good and cheap. They are easy to purchase in chemists and I think in some chain stores. I just... Read review

Advantages: Helps to protect a child from the dangers of electrical sockets
Disadvantages: None

...I thought that I would have learnt with our first two children. It seems that I may have overlooked a small but important detail of a small child's safety. Having two school aged children, an active toddler running about and a small dependant baby to look after, I kind of forgot what toddlers can get up to when in a curious mood. Yes John has got to that stage where he has to tamper with electrical sockets, every parents nightmare. He is not happy with just turning on the switches but he has to try and fit every thing and any thing into where a plug would fit. After getting bored of trying this its time to see which of his fingers fit the best. Believe me toddlers fingers fit very nicely into the three holes of an electrical socket. You see the potential danger that little ones can get into! I did and that's why I... Read review

Advantages: Excellent all rounder with too many features to list
Disadvantages: Not great for overclocking

...I have recently become a big fan of Asus products. The first contact i had with them was when i purchased an A8v deluxe motherboard for my pc. At the time, it was the best motherboard available on the market, but this was mainly due to the small number of manufacturers catering for this format. Last month my younger brother pleaded with me to build him a computer which he can use for games, music, internet and all manner of things pc related. As Microsoft are slowly integrating 64 bit capability into almost all of their upcoming software, and 32 bit is being slowly phased out, I decided on starting with a 64 bit system. There are currently 3 formats of 64 bit system available, namely socket 754, socket 940 and socket 939. These 3 formats differ in their chip types and also in their compatability with other components used in the pc...
