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.

a system is only as good as it's RAM.
i suggest that you spring for some DDR500. if you do, then you should get the 2.8 (multiplier 14) and up the FSB to 250(quad pumpled for 1000), to get an effective 3.5ghz (quite posisble with the C chips, unless your'e really unlucky... and on air too...
