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.
This is my current setup that I built a few years ago (late '06, early '07):
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ cpu
ASUS M2N-E socket AM2 (nForce 570 Ultra) mobo
eVGA GeForce 7600 GT PCI-Ex16 gfx card
2GB of G.Skill DDR2 800 memory
The last upgrade I did was bumping up the RAM from 1gig to 2gigs...
@The Goose
I don't plan on OCing but it's not something I'll rule out in the future
@Danny Bui
It's not really a budget so much as a "guideline." It's not concrete, I'm just trying to keep it around that price range.
And the memory is this one
I actually kind of already ordered the...
Thanks for the replies.
I'd like to keep it under $700 if possible. It'll be mainly for gaming. I know that won't get me a screaming fast set up, but I figure I should be able to handle most games. The 7600gt is mainly just to hold me over for a while until the dx10 cards are affordable.
I'm finally upgrading my computer, and these were the parts I was thinking about getting:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane
XFX GeForce 7600GT XXX
1gb G.SKILL DDR2 800
Asus M2N-E mobo
Seagate Barracuda SATA 320GB hdd
Apevia ATX-CW500WP4 ATX 500W psu
does anyone have any...
I have an XBlade ATX case and I read somewhere that the max mobo size for it is 12 x 9.5. If I were to get an Asus M2N-E ATX mobo, which is 12 x 9.6, do you think it would fit? Will a tenth of an inch make a difference?
Thanks
Cool, thanks. Yeah it would mainly be for gaming.
What is am2?
And I am assuming NF5 means nForce 5?
I am planning on asking for these things for my birthday, which isn't until May 17, so things will probably have changed by then (like the 7900 as you said).
I'm thinking about upgrading my computer soon, and I was wondering whether I should get a middle-of-the-line video card and a faster processor, or a better video card and a slower processor. Which do you guys think would perform better?
eVGA 6800 GS and AMD Athlon 64 3500+
or
eVGA 7800...
I dunno about SLI yet.. I figured that I would just get one card, then in the future if my source of income increased, maybe pick up another. The SLI board is mainly just so I have the option in the future so I don't have to buy a whole new board.
But now I am considering just getting a...
I want to upgrade my computer, and these are the parts I was thinking of getting, and I just wanted a second opinion on them:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 90nm s939 processor
eVGA 7800 GT 256MB 256-P2-N516 video card
I've read reviews and everything seems...
This computer is in great working condition. The only downside to it is that the case is beat up pretty bad. There are quite a few scratches and small dents over it. This computer was mostly used as a web surfing machine. No heavy use.
INCLUDED:
64MB NVIDIA Video Card
1 100gb hd...
I was looking at processors on newegg and in the Specs section, they have an entry called "Process Type". All the processors I've seen have either "0.13 µm" or "90 nm" listed for it. What does it all mean?
(I did a search but couldn't find anything about this)
