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.
Yep did all that. Memtest went all night with 0 errors, no viruses/spyware detectable which isn't really surprising since this is a newly formatted partition and I watch my network activity and ports like a hawk.
All drives pass all SMART checks. Here's what I'm using.
x2 3800+
DFI nf4 Lanparty-D
OCZ Platinum pc3200 1gb (x2)
7800gtx
OCZ 520W Powerstream
1x IDE Maxtor 6Y160PO (160GB) with a 20gb boot partition
1x IDE WDC WD1200BB-53CAA1 (120GB)
1x SATA ST3750640AS (700GB) with a 25gb boot...
I bought one of the Seagate SATA 750gb perpendicular drives (model ST3750640AS) lately and stuck it in my system. Two days later, crash out of nowhere. It would do this on a very regular basis too -- every 1-2 days. Not sooner, not later. After making sure it's not the temps or other...
Yeah, what I'm less keen on is buying a defective board with terrible driver support (how would you feel if your video drivers installed an aol icon on your desktop and keeps asking you to register every single time you installed it?) and a terribly bloated software package, then going out and...
I'm getting the Squeal of Death and I was wondering if anyone out there has any more to add to my laundry list of possible solutions. Creative has no sentient tech support and it's up to us to us to provide our own:
1. Uninstall all CT drivers via DriverCleaner, install the beta drivers...
I missed the 15th ship date by like 3-5 hours, hahah. Oh well, with these kind of cards, if you pay for the time. If you wait till september when the card would have shipped, I guarantee you'd be able to find a deal better than this. The GTX by itself went down 100 bucks over a period of 1...
Canceled. Can't stand to wait till the 26th when it will SHIP, then even longer for it to arrive assuming they have it in stock then. Went ahead and paid another 150 to overnight myself a gtx.
If I wait any longer, the r520 will be out (quakecon ati rep says september) and ill have massive...
I don't think I can wait till the 26th for mine... gettin' too jumpy with new parts just sittin around =D
I hope between now and the 26th a gtx pops up at $360-425. I'd be all over that.
I grabbed it yesterday at $367 for an entire new system to replace my 9800 (poor bugger carried me through some tough times). A little worried about shipping, but otherwise this is a great deal.
I'm sure the next-gen system in a year or so won't feature a Prescott core. Heck, I don't know why people still buy these... wait for dual cores already.

$225 for 512mb ddr2 Corsair ram from newegg
4gb = 225x8 = $1800
seeing as these are 256mb sticks and nobody's got 16 friggin' ram slots on their mobos, you're gonna have to buy higher density sticks which would cost even more for same capacity.
2k for ram, yeah right. What kind of...
Yeah, WoW isn't taxing at all. Heck, it runs fine at 12x10 on my comp and I'm using a total pos! Seriously though, mmorpgs shouldn't be used to test since there are too many variables, they require subscriptions, they have constant game patches that are required to be installed to play (so you...
