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.
Windows SATA speed on any other of the Xeon 5100 workstations being offered by Boxx or Dell is normal, while on the Mac Pro, SATA drives run somewhat faster than an internet connection.
Guys:
A PC graphics card will work just fine in a Mac Pro - in Windows.
You'll still need to be using the 7300GT to drive your display when you're using Mac OS X because Mac OS X is blind to non-EFI graphics cards while Windows isn't.
Man, anybody got news about when the X1900-equipped Mac Pros are shipping? Somebody on the Appleinsider forums said that a sales rep they had talked to said they'd be shipping this week...
