• 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.

    Is anyone excited about the 40GB Kingston SSD

    That's just perfect for a Server 2008 (R2) setup. On desktop and laptop I have to wait for price of 120GB models to hit the sweet spot... Wouldn't go for anything less.

    Any way to confirm ECC functioning?

    Jay_S, as I already said here, no more confirmations are needed. MemTest86+ clearly shows your system is running with the DRAMs on ECC MODE. Thanks again and enjoy.
