Hilariously bad Newegg product reviews

I was checking on this board when I stumbled upon this:

Pros: Decent price, good BIOS.

Cons: This board has an FSB with only 2000mt/s. Zotac has a board for the exact same price with 5200mt/s. A 2000mt/s FSB is ok if you're running a single core processor and DDR memory, but it doesn't move nearly enough data to put on the same board with a multi-core processor and DDRII memory. WAY TOO SLOW.

Other Thoughts: This problem is of course my fault for not truly understanding the importance of my FSB. I tried to upgrade my old system with board because it supported faster memory, a multi-core processor, and PCI-E graphics card; but it is all choked out by the tiny FSB.

This dude ain't got the faintest idea how an AMD platform works. Firstly, K8L doesnt have an traditional FSB. Secondly, because of the IMC most traffic doesn't pass through the Northbridge at all. And thirdly because of the IMC, since when HTT link between CPU and northbridge is EVER a bottleneck?

heh. he just thinks HT is shared and everything runs on it. i wonder what articles he's read that lead him to this conclusion. i always thought the platform diagrams were pretty clear.

Speaking of LOL-able Newegg reviews, here's a really good one for Corsair's 750HX 750W Modular PSU.

Pros: This velvet bag is simply amazing. It's so soft. It also comes with a free power supply in it that's pretty good too. But the bag, man, you gotta get one.

Cons: Velvet bag has no cons.

Other Thoughts: Velvet bag comes protected in styrofoam, inside a box, inside another box.

80plus.org says the free psu is 90% efficient at 50% loads, and minimum is 88% at 20% load. For a free modular PSU, that is amazing.

multi-socket intel systems that still used FSB.

LOL at the people that didnt find that review helpful.
