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.
Just ordered an Asus P7P55D EVO (1156 - 4 slots, 2 channels) motherboard and saw in the manual that they recommend using a module in single channel (example: one in 1 and one in 2) to get XMP to work better. Sounds like they are smoking crack to me but I haven't built a PC since 2005 so I figure...
thanks for your patience. i'm so sick of my imac/ps3 relationship that i'm pulling the trigger on a server that is a HTPC too and I think I have the right build so I 'm buying it. If I need a PVR I'll use a hauppauge down the road. canceling cable can be scary but I'm ready for it.
wow. thought i knew what i was doing but really having trouble building my ps3 replacement (sans blu-ray)/mkv/hulu/torrent/server box. I'm confident in my selection of the SG45H E3200 2GB 2TB setup until it's time to choose a coax-in. I've got a medium directional digital antenna that works well...
Check this out - http://www.welovemacs.com/6614664.html. Maybe in a few months they'll have that 4850 for "replacement parts". Pretty cool, no? Of course, 500 bucks is alot of scratch...
just to be clear i splintered the glass it didn't shatter in some bourne supremacy kind of way but it did send a few small slivers raining onto my desk. it's not laminated. acknowledge double post.
been inside it a few times and got complacent. I was putting an ssd in it, my fourth or fifth hd swap (i got issues), and forgot to drive the upper left corner screw home. hit resistance, and pushed on it anyway, figuring the glass would hold - it felt solid. lol not anymore i'm doing that with...
found a replacement from a vendor at $75 USD. found one on eBay for $25 USD.
Apple parts are slim pickens! Any opinions? I'm inclined to spend the extra dough so I can at least leverage the customer angle.
If I had five hundred bucks laying around I'd be willing to attempt flashing a mxm 4850 for use on an older imac. Until that day...

I know this is the truth but remain surprised there is so little experimentation with apple computers. sager is selling the 4850 ala carte although efi/bios who knows.
talk about an iron curtain. apple techs, while i am sure are very nice people irl, are artful practitioners of the stonewall school of verbal judo at work
anyone every taken the plunge and tried to upgrade the mxm video card in the intel imac?
this is pretty esoteric - but when the 4850m was released i started thinking about it. it'd be theoretically possible to swap out the 8800gs; but then there's the bios problem and whatever other...
