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.
Honestly, it all depends on your budget. In my opinion, any AGP video card upgrades to hold a person out until next year (as i'm planning) should be a 6800GS, 6800GT, better, or the ATI equivalent.
I'm actually in the exact same boat as you, evophile!
I'm currently running:
Abit IS7
P4 2.4C
1GB Corsair Platinum TwinX PC3200LLPT (4 x 256MB Dual Channel)
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9500
I have been trying to find a 6800GS or 6800GT to replace my current video card.
Perhaps I should...
PM sent! :)
I'm in Houston, TX as well so we could save ourselves a lot of trouble (i.e. checking Heatware and eBay accounts) and just meet up and make the deal! :cool:
