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.
There was once a guy who didn't really need a new video although he did have a computer to put it in. Then one day he got a PM saying that he had won a NEW GT430. His name was Guido and he lived happily ever after.
There are some areas of computing that I would like to expand my knowledge about without taking any college courses. For example, I would love to learn how to setup an exchange server for work that I could sync my caledar and my mail up with. Something that I could access anywhere etc. The type...
Sorry about the Caviar/Scorpio mistake, I do mean the Scorpio laptop drive.
I have never had any interest in dual booting my MBP, and that hasn't changed, so it will only be running Snow Leopard. So based on the type of computing that I do with my pc, the seagate will be the way to go. Of...
I am looking to upgrade the Hard Drive in my laptop, and I want to get as fast of a Hard Drive as possible without going to SSD(the cost vs. capacity isn't doable yet). I am also looking at the Caviar Black 500Gb and the Hitachi Travelstar 500GB. What do you think?
Danny, can you reccomend a new motherboard that I can buy from newegg instead of looking for a used one. Or were those reccommedndations for new boards?
I am a bit confused on your comparison on the chips. Are you saying that if they are at the same clock speed the E6500 is 15% better? or am...
How much better is the E6500 compared to the E6400? I realize that there is about 3 years between the technologies, but is the E6500 only a little bit better or is it a considerable amount better. If the last statements points to the chip being a good bit better, can you be a bit more specific...
Thanks for crushing my dreams Danny. That may work out best, maybe I use the E6400 and the Asus board for my server, and I could always get a new, better motherboard for the E6500 processor. Something that can handle 4 DIMMs and allow for some good overclocking. I have a case that I can use if...
KataIDT - Yes the GA7VAXP has 5 PCI slots, so maybe that is the best Server pc. But if I don't have to put any money into that "older" computer, that would be best.
I had the HTPCs setup already, accept the E6500 is in one of the HTPCs while the other one houses the E2140. The E5400 was my...
So I pose these questions to anyone who will help, but Danny has been a huge help throughout this process, so I thought I would call him out. I recently made a trip to Michigan and brought the remains of my last computer back with me(travelling with a bunch of computer parts in your caryy on...
So I am not doing anything with the work PC, right? Keep in mind that the 9800GT will be sitting here umused when I replace my "Gaming" rigs vid card which makes the 9800 available for my work/editing computer. With that said, is the 240 better than the 9800? The 9800 has 512MB of DDR3 ram...
I have a couple intel dual core processors, and I am wondering which is the best of these. I have an idea about 2 of them since they were purchased fairly recently, but i'm not sure where the other 2 fit in.
CPU #1 - Intel E5400
CPU #2 - Intel E6500
CPU #3 - Intel E2140
CPU #$ - E6400...
I recently built 2 new machines that I came to these forums for help for, but I held off on any video cards because the new ones were coming out. Now that the new ones are out, what should I be looking at? I have read a bit and it almost seems like the new cards arent that much better, have they...
I purchased a new computer a few weeks ago and I am having a lot of trouble with overclocking it. I may need to RMA the motherboard or something, but I know my 30 days is running out. The problem is that when Iset the bios up for overclocking, I restart the computer and when booting up it...
