This memory saved my new PC which was restarting and reporting memory errors with the PNY memory that I initially installed. This memory is fast and appears to meet spec's. I have over clocked this system (2.9GHz) to 3.3GHz with air cooling and it
runs perfect. As a rule I don't run my machines Overclocked but when testing a new machine I thought it could show me the
weakest link in my system. Obviously it is my CPU, but still 10% Overclocking without increasing voltages & with air cooling
is pretty good. I have read reviews from several folks that were able to go past 3.5GHz with this AMD processor just by jacking
up the voltages.

Great product and great service from AMAZON......

Patriot Box Office 1080p High-Definition Media Player PCMPBO25 (Black)

Filed Under (Patriot) by admin on 04-03-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , ,


I have owned this product for over a month now, and it has worked flawlessly.
This Box Office has played every format I've sent its way:
audio: mp3, aac, wma, wav, flac
video: iso, avi, mpg, mov, wmv, iPod mp4, m4v
pictures: jpg

Positives:
+The box office supports playing media from an optional 2.5" SATA internal HD, a USB stick, or from a network share. I play movies from a USB stick or from the network.
+Network browsing of your home network is seamless. You simply choose Net, your workgroup name, computer name, then Public. No password was needed to browse the Public shares on my Windows 7 box. Videos play fine over wired Ethernet.
+ISO files play fine and appear to be full DVD quality. Chapters are accessible with the Prev and Next buttons.
+Playing a partially-viewed movie will prompt to resume playback so you can continue from where you stopped. The stop position is retained even after power-off.
+The menus allow for switching between 4:3 and 16:9 widescreen formats, 1080p 24Hz output, and the box automatically detects composite connection (Red White Yellow cables) and HDMI. I have used composite to watch movies on an old CRT TV, and HDMI on an LCD 1080p TV, and both work great. It's a little disconcerting to see the picture scroll out-of-sync during startup on a composite connection.
+Music plays using a basic filename listing. Files with id3 tags (MP3, AAC) display some data, but album artwork does not display. Genre is shown as a number, not text.
+Subtitles can be displayed but accessing them using the remote button is clumsy, requiring four clicks. It should be a simple on/off toggle.
+Power consumption is 6 watts during movie play.

Negatives:
-The fan is noisy and noticable during quiet periods of movie.
-The box will often turn on when a different remote sends some commands to the TV. I sometimes must flip the power switch on the back to keep it turned off.
-M4V (iPod video) files with chapter markers will play but you cannot skip to the next chapter. You must instead use the Go To feature and punch in a time.

The Version Information screen can be found with a press of pause and stop on the remote. My box was revision P02 and bootcode 18. It listed these audio decoders: AAC AC3 ADPCM COOK DTS DV FLAC A-Law-PCM u-Law-PCM LPCM LSD-(RA-lossless) MPEG MP4-HE-AAC MP4-LC-AC RAW-AAC VORBIS WMA WMA-Pro. I downloaded the newer update P05 and copied it to a USB stick, then used the menu to apply the P05. The P05 update added DTS-HD decoder and retained all the previous decoders. Functionality seems unchanged, with new menus for PPPoE and time setting.

Overall I am very happy with the product, and have recommended it to friends.

PATRIOT from Swiss Gear by Wenger Triple Gusset Rolling Computer Case w/ Removable Tote


I bought this on Amazon in October 2008. I am a road warrior and beat up my bags. This bag was no exception and after a good run, the handle broke and the bottom of the bag sprung a leak. Please, do not take that as a negative -- I really do beat up my bags. This bag is put together incredibly well. I love it. I agree with all of the reviews on Amazon praising this bag.

My praise goes one step further -- the warranty. I merely e-mailed Wenger and explained my problem and they responded back within 24 hours and asked me to send them some digital photos and additional information. A day later, Wenger sent me a message stating that they would send me a new bag and that I did not have to send back my old bag (although they did ask that I toss it). Think about it. When was the last time you ran into a Company that didn't make you send back the old item or jump through hoops? Wenger saved me money, time and saved the environment some wear and tear as well -- cutting down on shipping and packaging.

True to their word, they sent me a new bag TWO DAYS LATER. The warranty is marvelous. Wenger has earned a lifelong customer.

Great Computer Bag
I use this bag for work, it's great! My Chiropractor told me to stop carrier my computer, which I did allot and get a rolling bag, reading some of the reviews and shopping around I decided on the Patriot. I have not one regret! It does everything I need it to, I carry my two cameras, my Flip, my consulting notebooks and yes even my laptop. I recommend this bag highly.


Awesome travel case!
This bag was everything that I expected, and more. It's amazing how much can be fitted into it, and even when full, it easily fits into the overhead compartments on airplanes. The wheels are extremely smooth rolling, and since I am rather tall, the length of the retractable handle is certainly appreciated. I use the separate, removable case for my net book and daily office needs, and really appreciate how the handles to this case are large enough to fit over the retractable handle for maneuvering around airports. I got a fabulous price from this seller, much, much lower than the retail prices I had seen in the office supply stores. If you want a versatile, roomy, yet compact travel companion, this case is for you.


Awesome Mobile Office
I have used this case for several weeks now both for buisness trips and for my home office. I am very pleased. I can take "my whole office" in the larger case but when I just need my computer I pull out the smaller bag and leave the rest in the car.

Wenger Patriot Rolling Case Blk Up To 17IN Laptop with notebook Case


I ordered this so I could stop carrying my laptop and files from office to home - saves wear and tear on my back. It was fatter than I expected and at first I thought I might have ordered a bit too big a bag. As I got used to it though, I decided it is really just perfect.

It has enough room to use it for overnight trips, well organized, and I love the little laptop bag that comes out separately if that's all you need for the moment. It can be attached to the handle above the main bag freeing up more space for clothes in the main bag.

The telescoping handle extends very easily and seems sturdy enough - although I am not certian when I get the bag REALLY crammed full if it will be rigid enough - I may leave additional feedback on that in the furture. Bag seems well balanced - I have not had any trouble with it trying to tip over on a slope like my old set.

The bag material is very sturdy and all the zippers and movable parts work perfectly. This is a well made bag.

Wheels are large enough to make a trip over some grass to the car easy and unstressful.

Not sure how this bag will fare as a carry-on bag if you fly. It looks too big to shove under a seat but I haven't tried yet. This looks like an overhead-bin bag but that's fine by me; I like my leg room.

I recommend this product.

Wenger Patriot Rolling Case
The Wenger Patriot Rolling Case exceeded my expectations with excellent storage capacity. My business travel requires transporting notebooks, forms, computers etc. I was apprehensive as to whether the case would hold my large laptop (Dell Latitude D810) and still leave room for other gear. The case stores the computer with no issues and offers plenty of other space. The case has held up to some rugged conditions and is breeze to roll across airport parking lots.


Perfect
I got this bag because I used to use a backpack whenever I used to travel. This bag does so much more. It is very rugged and well made, it isn't cheap or anything like that. It is very durable and fits a lot of stuff. It has space for a laptop, shoes, passports and other documents and even overnight clothes.


Lovin' it so far ...
Had the Wenger backpack for the last year, and since I'm a 46 year old, it probably wasn't the wisest choice for my back and shoulders. In fact, started to have neck pain. Loved the backpack, though, and even though I'm a road warrior, it showed no signs of wear. So I decided to give this a try. So far, it's been great. Others complain about the extendable handle, but I like it. I'd buy it again, and would recommend it to my friends.


Patriot Rolling Case
Great bag, lots of room. If you fill it full it will not fit in the over head compartments. Lot features and pockets....
