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.
...and then I see this! LOL http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060722/ap_on_sc/slew_of_squid;_ylt=AhyvFBz9.IiHaI..ctp_Z_qs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3MzV0MTdmBHNlYwM3NTM-
At least these guys have a good sense of humor...I took a screeny just in case they decide to pull it any time soon.\

I think you are both ([H] and F/S) wasting your ink and time. I see both methods (real-world and canned, 3DMark etc) as beneficial for hardware evaluation, and as stated here, others seek multiple opinions first. It would be foolish when purchasing such high-cost items to do otherwise.

...this just in from Mark Rein. (From the FS interview here:http://www.firingsquad.com/features/epic_games_rein_interview/page2.asp)
So like I mentioned, the gaming landscape is about to change...and I think from where I stand right now, pretty dramatically. So you gamers that have invested...
Now...maybe I breezed through this article a bit too quickly or something...but what about Quake 4 and the 1.5 patch? There is a huge performance win with dual core (r_enableSMP 1)...not sure why this was not included...it would definately offset the conclusion of "There just simply arent any...
Hey, great job there guys...yeah, in games I am only seeing around 3-4% impact...well worth the upgrade...especially for folks (such as me) who want to upgrade to 4X512 from 2X512. Now, if you are building a new system? 1024MB may be the way to go...however, I doubt you'll find the tight timings...
Yes, the bandwidth issue is because of 2T command, however I have yet to see any negative real-world impact, I mean, those benchmarks are only slightly below my 2X512 configuration. In fact, the only place I can actually tell that I am limited is strictly in memory benchmarks. I'd recommend...
Hmmm....perhaps...you know, I should try to manually set that to 5.5ns...I haven't tried that yet, I had just went straight to 6.0ns right off the bat...but you know, I doubt it will have much of a performance benefit...but it is worth a shot.

For initial reference, here is a link to my benches @dfi-street with my original 2X512 setup...like I said, I'll update the OC database over there with my 4X512 when I get some time...
****Edit: I had to remove this link, my appologies folks...for some odd reason, I was banned???? From...
Hi again fallguy...just remember that he is using TCCD based chips which are very different in how they respond to the Athlon 64 memory controller versus the UTT-BH5/CH5 based modules...if I attempted to use his settings verbatim? I wouldn't even be able to post...(well maybe but it certainly...
