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.
It's not like it's all or nothing. Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance here but how many mobo's that you can overclock store only one settings profile? I keep two profiles; a standard profile (cool and quiet) that I use most of the time and a OC profile that I boot into when the performance is...
E6300 and E7400 are both natively 1066FSB (with a 10.5x multiplier) whereas E8400 is 1333FSB (with a 9x multiplier).
It might not make sense to put a 1066FSB proc in a 1333FSB motherboard though it's possible of course. On the other hand, I just recently tried a C0 stepping E8200 in my...
Why not just get a Wolfdale E6300 and save youself a quarter the cost of an E7400? Besides all E6300's having VT-x, the only other difference is 2MB of L2 cache vs 3MB - not a lot of difference in performance for the money.
SLGU9 E6300 2.8GHz (10.5x multiplier) 45nm, 1066FSB, step R0, 2MB L2...
Looking just now for the best prices I could find for OCZ Platinum, I found these at ZipZoomFly:
OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Platinum OCZ2N10662GK 2GB Kit (2x 1GB) $23.50 (out of stock)
OCZ DDR2 PC2-8000 Platinum OCZ2P10001G 1GB Kit (2x 512MB) $29.00
So you're probably right then - a lot of vendors...
What's wrong with buying 2x 512MB (should be pretty cheap) to have 3GB total split on two channels? Another 1GB of the same memory - or at least RAM with the same timings and VDIMM properties - and I don't think you'd have any problems.
Running a WinXP VM under Win7-RC, I wanted to be...

Value Select Modules
Value Select modules are built with RAMs that are procured at the wafer level and are packaged and tested to our specifications. As such, they are not available as individual ICs, only...
AnandTech reports here that they pushed low-end 1.8v DDR2-533MHz memory to 800MHz with 4-3-3-8 timings at 2.1v indicating that high-end, low-latency memory is NOT a necessity for overclocking (even if high-end RAM does provide the very best results)...
