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.
The Intel 5000x chipset is a dual PCI-X one. But it is a 16x4 config, not a 8x8 or 16x16, which you need for high-end gfx performance. Besides the 5000x chipset costs around $400 for the full-featured version.
Second is the lower latency of DDR2 memory, which means you will actually see...
The advantage here is that, Nvidia is developing the chipset: which means Dual-SLI. It would also have support for 8 processing cores. And if it has native DDR2 support, it will make a superb workstation platform. Since Woodcrest is currently 15-20% slower than Conroe due to the slow, expensive...
This has been reported twice by Inq now.

However, the most interesting question is what kind of memory will the upcoming Nvidia Nforce chipset for the Intel dual-FSB Woodcrest and Clovertown chips use? If that ends up to be standard DDR2...
All this is funny! This is like religions. Everyone believes and agrees with the philosophy in different religions (like "Conroe is fast!"). The only thing that makes them hate and deny, is the false prophets (read fan!!!!s) and disciples who spread "Come to Conroe, only in Him you shall find...
Poncho and empoy, I know both of you work at Intel. But why do you have to leak Intel's future roadmap, for your own 5 seconds in the sun. AMD does not leak their roadmap, so it would be great if you can maintain the information parity. You need not leak details beyond Merom, Conroe or...
you could get a current gen p-d and wait for 975x if it has support for the p-d 8xx series. If it does you dont have to buy a mobo again when upgrading to conroe, say a year and 1/2 from now.
If you got the Pentium M you would have a great gaming CPU that is not too far from an Athlon64 of the same clock speed. But it is not exactly a desktop CPU, so I think other tasks like encoding, Divx and all that stuff may not be very fast.
Plus you should consider that the Pentium D and...
