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.

This turned out to be a problem with the motherboard. I picked up a p67a-GD55 that was on sale at Fry's this afternoon and after moving everything over it booted right up with out any issues.- Fly'n Brian

You should order this one instead. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127301 It will fit in the slimline (but the heatsink will cover the other PCI slot) Also you will need to order the low profile bracket from MSI for $6- Fly'n Brian

You would be better off checking out UBID first and seeing what you can find there. There is a s3400z there right now that will end up selling for around $200. http://www.ubid.com/HP_Pavilion_s3400z_AMD_Athlon_64_X2_5200%2b_2.7GHz_2GB_250GB/a11271478.html- Fly'n Brian

Either one should be fine for that. I'm using the MSI 8500gt for 720p on a 42" DLP and have not had any problems. But from what I have read, overscan problem are easier to handle with the ATI cards.- Fly'n Brian

I am using the MSI 8500gt in my s3300z. I have not had any problems with it. But I do have a 45w BE-2300 (and 4gb of ram) in it and don't have the HD/BD drive.- Fly'n Brian

As an update. I've gotten the HDMI audio to work now. I had forgotten to change the bios setting from auto to onboard for the audio. Now for my next question. What way works best to get rid of overscan problems? Setting a custom resolution? OR re-sizing the HDTV desktop? I'm...- Fly'n Brian

Right now I've got the same problem with my 3300z. I've got the MSI 8500gt (w/hdmi) and I can't get it to enable audio over HDMI, it will only show the digital coax out.

Yes, they make it for their MSI NX8500GT-MTD256EH GeForce 8500GT card. But it is a low profile bracket for HDMI and DVI, so it should work with any other card that needs it.- Fly'n Brian
