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.
OK, well while the PhysX control panel insists i have no PhysX acceleration and i can't run the fluid demo...
I can run warmonger at 1680x1050 max settings, over 60fps.
before i put in the 9500GT i was lucky to get 20fps at 1440x900 all minimum.
So there's some physx going on in there...
It's been done by a bunch of review sites, but none of them actually show how.
i'm working on it with my HD4850 and 9500GT - it is possible, i have both of them working as GPUs, but the PhysX software seems to be ignoring the 9500.
I'm going to run around and try some other PhysX drivers...
Har de har, yet another reason to NOT "upgrade" to vista.
Long live Windows XP! (Vista suffers from "good enough" syndrome - XP is good enough, so why upgrade?)

The PCI bus has an effective transfer rate of around 133MB/sec - PCIe 2.0 is 500MB/sec on a 1x bus, 250MB/sec for 1.1. The 8600GT would probably overfill a PCI bus, but considering that its fine with a x1 1.1 slot, I dont see what people are worrying about.
Ohwell, i has an ECS passive 8600GT...
They have single-phase service, but most of the ones i've seen have two phases going in - half the plugs are hooked to one of the phases, the other half to the other phase. So it's still one-phase power, but the INSTEON signals can't transfer to the other single-phase line. The phase couplers...
I'd imagine it would still be adequate to use it as a PhysX PPU, given that the original dedicated PhysX PPU Card was PCI and equivalent in performance to an overclocked 8500GT.
This card's sole purpose seems to be as a PPU card, that's what i'd use it for.

Well hey thar.
The closest you're going to get is hooking it up to an INSTEON system (sadly quite expensive) with a controller plugged into a computer. you can then run several different apps that will allow you to remotely control it via webserver etc.
Unfortunately it does not come...
Hey guys,
Just wanted your opinion as to if this laptop's worth the money.
Lemme get this out of the way right off the bat:
I'M IN AUSTRALIA so all prices are aussie dollars unless marked otherwise.
I'm intending to get it as a secondary computer to take to people's...
Theres that too, and either way i'm perfectly happy to pay shipping for that same reason.
besides, the chances that i'll win are so damn small it doesnt really matter :P

I'z in AUS too, right near soundguy infact.
I'd assume that since its a worldwide contest (for us at least) then worldwide shipping would be free :P they're already sending over $1000 of kit, whats $50-60 of shipping matter :P
