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.

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.

get a hd4850. Prices for videocards drop like it's hot! In the future you would get something way better for half the price.
Or you can get a hd4870 for $230 after $30 MIR, which is around $70 bucks more than 4850...
E8500 e0 stepping. Are there any significant benefit of having e0 stepping than c0?
My e8500 just got delivered to me today, and unfortunately, it is not e0 (got it from zipzoomfly). I plan on overclock somewhat, nothing extreme. My electricity in the apartment is free.
So my question is...
