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.
thanks! that really does help.
anything else like that, or anything more specifically on the next wave of processors and graphics tech, would be much appreciated.
thanks guys.
Does anyone know where I can read anything about any of the upcoming hardware? cpu/gpu ati/nvidia/intel/amd whatever. A link would be fantastic. I just want to know what's out there.
if I were you I'd buy the 8800gts 320 first and build the rest of your system with whatever remains of your budget.
it's a higher price point than normally a $900 computer would call for, but at this point in the game it's the only card worth buying below $400 or above $150. The bang for...
Shopping for a power supply I found what I beleive to be a fantastic power supply comparison article at techreport.com

I found it very informative as well as useful, and I thought you guys might be interested in taking a look. Maybe the most...
Ok, backstory. I built a computer last year at a mid/low pricepoint.

7900gt voltmodded
3gig total memory (ocz and crucial)

So, does anyone know? Can you install dx 10 on your system if you have a current gen card? Will you be getting any of the benefits (obviously aside from things like unified core achitecture). I feel like it should.

So I bought a new lcd tv, to test it out I decide to play some lost coast on it. When I try to boot lost cost it tells me my computer can't handle it because my processor is only running at 0.8ghz! I run a x2 3800, and had it clocked at 2.53. I checked it and it was running @ 887mhz.
Needless...
I've never seen bookshelf speakers that use rca jacks. I don't think you would or should find a decent pair at that price. The speakers in your pic would do you just fine for now. That said, next time you have an extra $200 or so to spend, skip a computer upgrade, or go for the lower end monitor...
I feel the need to defend the ipod, I dont generally like apple (too pretentious for me). But the iPod video is the only mp3 player on the market that does what it does at the price point, it really is the best player for the money. (or at least was when I bought one a couple of months ago)...
I just purchased a new hdtv (a Hyundai q321 HD LCD 32") which I'm very excited about. But because of this upgrading my home audio system is an itch I feel the need to scratch.
