Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Heh, I guess the TRUE Silver is next. Even better thermal conductivity, even more weight, and even more cost. You'd need some kind of support bracket to mount it!
The new 8800GT cards are impressive and these cards are impressive, too.
You have to consider total cost of ownership when comparing prices. The lower idle power consumption of the 38xx series relative to the 8800GT makes the total cost of ownership lower. I made a back-of-the-envelope...
There was a typo: "manor" should be "manner". :D
Also, I would have liked to see a comparison between DX9 on Vista and DX9 on XP for this game. I guess there have been enough XP/Vista comparsions done already. The review did answer my main question, which is: Will the game run okay at...
The [H] goes into great detail about video cards, but I would like to see a section in the video card reviews about getting the right speed of CPU to go along with the GPU. Most test setups use a rather high-end CPU to attempt to eliminate any CPU bottlenecking. But users who are upgrading their...
I think you can get an ASRock Dual VSTA board and reuse your RAM.
Then you can get a 8800 GTS 320 and spend a little more on a little nicer C2D processor, maybe one of the new 6420s.
I think your existing PS is okay, but if you want to replace it, I like the Seasonic line.
I have one. My rig uses a 1950 Pro, DDR1 memory, and a C2D 6300.
The system has been super stable. I have not done any overclocking.
Getting this board is a great way to avoid having to buy DDR2 memory. I'm hoping this system will last me until DDR3 becomes widely available, then I can...
It makes the [H] look like a Digg whore.
I don't read Digg, or even know or care what Digg is, so I find all those extra links as annoying as popup ads and banner ads. However, I can filter popups.
Does the constant "Digg this, digg that" have to be in every news post? How about one digg...
Neat-o!
If all the heat generated by 16-32-64 cores in a processor can be dissipated, this will keep Moore's Law applicable for a while to come.
Memory density per square inch could also be improved greatly.
I totally agree with getting the dual VSTA motherboard. It's highly versatile. Mine is rock stable with an E6300, everything at stock speeds and voltages.
Don't look to break any benchmarking records or do any overclocking whatsoever. But it is cheap and reliable and will hold you over until...
