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.

For a dream machine, i'd have opted for the 4800+ and a vapochil

I'm not saying it's not a monster, it's a monster allright, but it doesn't know what it wants to be.
Well said!
edit : actually for software development, there's a couple ways to look at it. One is compile time - in which amd has the upper hand. The other is multitasking so that I can use vmware (GODSEND of a tool - wanna play with linux while in windows?) where the p4C(and later) shines a...
Well the 2000DPI isn't much of an increase over 1600
The logitech 518 has the edge in the speed of changing the sensitivity. it's a quick toggle on the mouse. go from sniping to run-n-gun mode in a click.
