rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I have been using this motherboard for a few months now and I have nothing but good things to say about it.

First of all, I ran into none of the compatibility problems that I have been reading about from other Epinion users that have used the...

Hercules 3D Prophet II MX: The Little Card That Could

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 04:59:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - If you are like me and don't have the $400 dollars to buy a top of the line graphics card, but you still love to play games and demand performance than look no further than the GeForce 2 MX. This card is perfectly balanced between price and performance...

The Best Processor on the Market...Period.

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 20:17:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I built a system based around an 800 MHz AMD Athlon Thunderbird processor a few months ago and I couldn't be more happy with my choice. The processor has handled everything I have thrown at it with no problems at all. I have yet to find anything that...

The Windows for ME

Sat, 22 Jul 2000 00:53:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I have had the privilege to beta test Millennium over the past year and I can tell you that the newest addition to the Windows Family is the best ever for the home user. Microsoft really went the extra mile to make this version of the 9x core do the...

The coolest city ever?

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 15:27:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I have lived in many different cities in many different states throughout my life, but I have to say that Seattle and the surrounding area was definitely my all time favorite.

I fell in love with the city, the climate, and the amazing scenery...

ICQ: The best...end of story.

Thu, 6 Apr 2000 18:29:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - ICQ just keeps on getting better. It was already head and shoulders above the rest, but with the release of ICQ 2000 there is simply no contest anymore.

ICQ has always had a ton more features than any other IM client and the new version is no...

Archived Computers & Internet Reviews: Finally... a good use of technology.

Thu, 6 Apr 2000 17:57:44 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - SETI@home is a wonderful way to help out an under-funded research program using your computer and an internet connection. What? The internet being used for something besides free porn and get rich quick schemes? This can't be!

The idea...

The college student's best friend

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 21:38:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I managed to snag a copy of Office 2000 Premium for free in return for participating in a marketing survey for Microsoft and the eight programs that make it up have become some of the most used on my hard drive.

Microsoft really went the...

The Mattmobile keeps on truckin'

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 21:12:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I own a 1980 Toyota Corolla...Hey You! Yeah you in front of that computer...stop that snickering...

Anyway, this car is truly a testimonial to the quality that Toyota builds into their vehicles. I currently have 162,000 miles on it and the...

The school for yOU

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 18:06:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I made the decision to come to OU based on nothing more than the letter and the recruiting video the admissions office sent me. I had never seen the campus before, never known anyone who had attended the university, and the school wasn't even on my list...

Not as impressive as I had hoped.

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 02:43:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - My trip to Cuchara was the closest I ever came to not enjoying skiing, which, for me, is almost unheard of. The conditions were absolutely terrible. The snow was slush in the sun and ice in the shadows. There were even spots where the mud showed...

South Bend, Here I come!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 05:25:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I recently had the opportunity to visit the Notre Dame campus earlier this year when I drove to watch the Oklahoma Sooners (where I go now) play football against the Irish. I have always been a fan of Notre Dame football and I couldn't pass up the...

Great for school and home.

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 19:29:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I have owned a Compaq Presario 1230 for about 2 years now and I've never had a problem with it. Everything still works like new in it. It does fine handling the usual word processing and internet applications I usually use it for. It even does pretty...

Gran Turismo 2 for PlayStation 1: Hell yeah!

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 20:26:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - This is one of the few racing games on the market that doesn't annoy me to the point that I want to toss it out the window. Quite the contrary in fact. One of my friends who live in the dorms here at college recently brought this game back after the...

Fun for the locals.

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 22:22:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I used to live in the Puget Sound area and the Pass was one of our favorite destinations in the winter because of how close it was. Snoqualmie is close enough to take off after school or work and still get some good skiing time in especially since most...

TV worth watching.

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 04:12:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - This has to be without a doubt one of the greatest channels ever. Where else can you learn obscure facts about the sex life of Adolph Hitler one night (seriously, this was on one night) and then see Leonard Nemoy and his wacko "paranormal...

Listener Supported: The Best of What's Around

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 01:23:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - Dave Matthews Band is one of my all time favorite groups. Dave and the boys aren't afraid to be different from all the other music out there and it is this originality that sets them apart and makes them better than the rest.

I went out and...

MxPx: One of my favorites!

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 18:36:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - I've been listening to MxPx ever since they were just starting out playing small little local shows around Bremerton and Silverdale and they just keep getting better with every new album. I went to the same high school as these guys and I've even sat...

Looking for real fun? Get the original.

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 23:49:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - This game is stunning when it comes to the visuals. The textures, backgrounds, and units are all very detailed and look great, but visuals aren't everything and in the area of gameplay TA:Kingdoms leaves a little to be desired. There is just no way...

Small but Entertaining

Sun, 9 Jan 2000 16:11:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - As a native of Northern Arizona, I know this ski area pretty well. I won't go so far as to call it great, but as long as you are in the area it is definitely worth stopping to check out. It has a pretty good variety of runs and even a few good black...

In a word...terrible.

Sun, 9 Jan 2000 05:37:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - My parents recently bought one of these to replace our aging Ford Windstar "because it had more space" as they put it. I will admit that fact. This van has cavernous amounts of space, but not much else. I rode in it on an eleven hour trip to...

Even Better Than the Book?

Sun, 9 Jan 2000 05:03:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mattman_OU - Being a long time fan of Stephen King I was very excited when this movie came out. I have to admit that I was somewhat worried though because the past films based on his novels have fallen far short of my expectations. This was mostly due to the fact...
