This is not a bad GPU, however for the price it's dated. Better options are now available in this range if you just plan to have a single GPU. With rebates, you can currently buy the more modern RX 460 for about the same price. That being said, if you already have one R7 360 (with available PCIe and PSU headroom) and want to run them Crossfire (which I am not a big fan of) the current clearance price from Best Buy is a good deal, even when compared to all the online-only retailer current pricing I reviewed. I wish there was an option for "maybe" in "recommend to a friend".
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased my first Boom December 2013, when transitioning from an office job to full time remote working arrangement. I spend at minimum 3 hours, and typically 5-8 hours, on conference calls every day. I have used this headset for almost every minute of those calls for the last 13+ months. The call quality and comfort level far exceed that of a significantly more expensive (company provided) Plantronics headset that's designed for VOIP "soft phone". This is my primary communication device for work, personal calls, and when travelling. Performs wonderfully, even when compared to other much more expensive devices I own.
Although it performs very well for it's intended purpose, there are a few drawbacks. The included ear loop IS going to break. It's not a question of IF, it's a question of WHEN. Mine initially lasted less than a month of heavy use, and Best Buy (as of January 2014 at least) does NOT sell replacement ear loops. However, I was able to easily find a 5-pack of aftermarket ear loops that fit perfectly, and are actually much more durable than what is included with the purchase. Overall 5-pack price was under ten dollars (w/ free shipping), and I've only had one more break after 12 months of heavy use.
Today, the plastic flip piece broke off at the hinges. The unit still functions and call quality is fine, but the On/Off flip functionality is severely compromised. However, I will be going to Best Buy tomorrow to buy a new one of the exact same model. I've spent the evening researching alternatives, but I am sticking with this Motorola Boom. I estimate about 1800 hours of use from my existing unit, and I find that to be a great value relative to the alternatives.
Reasons to buy this: Call quality is great (except for maybe in high wind/noise... don't plan on using this while riding your Harley), battery life is good and recharge time is phenomenal (15 minutes to full 6 hour charge), very lightweight and comfortable.
Things to consider before buying: The ear loop is going to break, shop around for and buy additional ear loops BEFORE it happens.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can you record without a memory card?

Can you record without a memory card? If so, how much? I only need to keep 2-3GB on it at a time. Our last camera, a Flip, didn't use a memory card and you just plugged it to the flash drive. It was great.
This video camera does not have any internal storage capacity for recording. It will just blink a message "Insert Card" if you attempt to record with no SD card mounted.
