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.
The winkey+L will instantly lock the computer as well if you're on xp and might 2000. Its almost as good as a dedicated key. You could also program one of the G keys for that combo to get a single key solution.

One of em was run off a UPS the other was run off an APC surge protector. They're both in an open environment in a back room seperate from the auto shop stuff with the rest of the phone/internet equipment so they probably pick up some junk but not much more than the computers in the front...
We're currently setting up a "technology package" for an up and coming auto chain and we've got I think 4 stores up and running right now. 2 of them have had their Netgear FVS318v3 routers die already (been about 4 months) and I don't want to deal with constantly swapping these things out. One...

I have to throw my hat in with Tengis on this one. I spent the last 5 years working at a small computer shop and finally got a job as a sysadmin. First 2 years I worked sales, people were not too bad, what was said about the people shopping price is true though, those almost always turn out to...
Supertalent is a mixed bag, we had a stick come thru our shop recently where the heatspreader had fallen off and it was a stick of corsair value select under it. Who knows what it actually is but from my experience its atleast reliable ram, not really overclocker friendly though.
This was about the time of the bad caps and so most of the value boards in this era had those kinda problems. Nothing to do really with AMD or VIA just mobo manufacturers being cheap or not knowing they were buying faulty caps.
I worked as a system build and I always felt like a complete tool for having to tell customers that are buying this gigantic system they need to have a floppy so we can load drivers to install the OS. I also loved making calls to customers telling them they needed a floppy on the build after...
most amazing game ever.... EVER! It honestly doesn't get any better than this. I've been getting hyped up on this for a few weeks now ontop of all the press thats been out and its actually exceeded my expectations. I was up until 3am PST playing and had to drag myself away from the screen. I...
I emailed thermalright and asked them if the two were compatible and they said yes. So the heatsink arrived just now and im trying to get it on there but it just doesn't look like its going to happen. Anyone out there gotten these two to work together? :confused:
EDIT
Finally got it on...
Just getting ready to buy a 3000+, motherboard, new memory, and a Thermalright XP-120. Been trying to figure out what motherboard and memory to buy for a while and haven't had much success. Mostly I've been looking at the Abit k8v800 pro, Chaintech VNF-250, Epox 8KDA3J, and possibly the MSI...
