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.
I think instead, you can't beat free, so I might just do this: http://www.slickdeals.net/permadeal/12652/EVGA-GeForce-6200-256MB-AGP-Graphics-Card-5-after-45MIR
Then save the money for a new computer.
Thanks :)
Yeah that 6800 was a good buy, I had probably been staring at video cards for over a week before I bought it.
Computer Specs (I'm at work, so I'm going from memory):
Gigabyte Motherboard 8IG1000MK Rev 2.0
Hyperthreaded P4 3.2 GHz (socket 478)
1.5GB DDR 400 RAM
Antec Basiq 500
some...
Yes, I know, AGP is practically dead, but since my videocard went the same route, I need a replacement until I can afford to build a new computer (which won't be for a while, seeing as I just moved).
I had a 6800 GS (which damn it had decent specs so now everything looks a bit pale in...
There are only a couple of AM2+ boards with SLI. It wasn't exactly something I was looking for in the GIGABYTE board.
I would use Crysis to gauge my system if I owned a copy, but I'm not going to buy one just for that. God knows it would probably kill the current computer (I have a 6800 GS and...
Right, I know the difference between SLI and CrossFire, but I don't really like ATI. :)
I probably won't be playing Crysis, but I will be using it for games.
I just need to figure out a good monitor I suppose. I should probably go to a store and see what I actually like, and price them online...
It depends on whether or not I'm going to buy a 22 or a 24 inch monitor.
I've also done a lot of reworking on this since I started the thread, trading out parts for others.
I switched the motherboard for this: GIGABYTE AM2+/AM2
Struggled with video cards for a while and chose this: EVGA...
Right so I'm not a monitor expert. I'm going to be buying a lot of parts to build a computer through work though, as they can get some of them cheaper, and I was wondering if either of these Dell monitors models are alright?
These are the model numbers that the IT girl gave me (both are Dell...
Heh, Hello Kitty is the only girly thing I really like (and that's mostly because I watched the cartoon when I was like 5)!
If it had hello kitty on it, I'd say screw logitech and get that, but I really have my eye on a G15.
HeroEngine uses PhysX which is the reason I was asking about that. I wasn't even entirely sure that the Nvidia cards had it enabled, but I had read something recently that implied it was, so.. :)
I am not stuck on a monitor size. Honestly I would love to have a larger monitor and don't mind...
Video card: I would go with a 9800 GX2 if I knew a bit more about them. Sadly I'm lazy and haven't really looked into them too much (and am not sure if they're worth the monies).
I don't know I'll have to think about this for a while and play around with setups in my head until there's...
My boxes are in my closet. The receipts were in a folder, but they got lost when we moved last year (not that it matters, the only one I could actually USE was the Antec receipt when my power supply died. It has like a 3 year warranty and hasn't quite hit that yet.)
I work for a small game company called Simutronics that is nearby (and use HeroEngine to train new GameMasters from home).
My home computer is really outdated, especially compared to my computer at the office. I'd like to have something better for myself here.
HE is probably going to use more...
