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.
AMD always cuts down their competition in marketing. they do it to intel, and now with nvidia. I think it's a crappy way to advertise and makes me want their products less. ..here's looking at you apple.
check this program out SamuraiInBlack, it will let you slipstream service packs into your xp install, among other things.

I just had to chime in on the "how well do inte's quad core's overclock" and "enthusiasts don't really seek out quad core processors" comment.
wow. pretty safe to say both are not true.
actually people DO care. when you're running hundreds of servers, power savings in dollar amounts adds up.
what really should be compared is performance per watt. not just power consumption. a 3ghz xeon is pretty much faster all around than a 3ghz opteron, both of which were tested. it can be...
I honestly don't even consider this good news, considering they're only telling us about specific synthetic bandwidth advantageous benchmarks. if they really had something they'd be saying "40% faster in games" or "50% faster in mp3 encoding".
either that or they're being secretive, have to...
thanks, that helps a lot actually. I was thinking the ATX board would extend to the back of the case meaning I would lose an hdd mount at worst. But if I have to relocate the PSU and whatnot I'll probably forget it.
too bad, it's the best looking case I've found. Need an ATX case that looks...
that is ridiculous if true. who the f wants to spend $200+ dollars every 2 years on a new OS? migrating to a new operating system in itself is a pain in the arse.
for me, getting a new OS is somewhat of a "phew glad that's over and I don't have to worry about it for a few (4 or 5 I thought)...
I bet the only reason intel is doing this is to beat AMD to the dual quad/8-core desktop platform. otherwise it still continues to be a bad idea imo.
intel has AMD's 4x4 beat already with kentsfield.
