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.
The phenomenon extends to a point to CS degrees in colleges and universities. In majors focused on theory like CS, it is actually possible to finish with a high GPA while doing a minimum amount of programming (or by copying your friends' homework) in many places.
I sometimes perform technical...
Their Symbian version is way, way better than the web browsers included in any S60 Nokia phone by default. It supports tabs, has an intuitive touch screen interface and renders pages much faster. I had a venerable E71 business smartphone and I could actually open 5+ tabs at once without the...
PC gaming is in a bit of a bad spot right now. As Vista and DX10 games get delayed deeper into 2007 and the new consoles come out, I expect it to get worse before it gets better.
About the only thing PC games have left over consoles is that PCs have more processing power. Even that is...
I say give them the time to get these drivers right. The 9x.xx line of drivers is in a sad state of affairs, and not something I'd deem acceptable. Broken TV output, overlay support that BSODs in Media Player, buggy OpenGL ICD and a myriad of bugs in games... the list goes on.
The cherry on...
That board has known, documented compatibility issues with the OCZ memory modules you are using (check the OCZ boards). A BIOS revision is reportedly in the works. Until then, consider downclocking the memory to DDR533 or using another brand of RAM that is on the board's compatibility list.

"Removing the GPU bottleneck" at this point entails a significant cost that maybe 1% of gamers are willing to spend. Yes, the Conroe is 20% faster when the GPU isn't the bottleneck (that's been demonstrated by multiple reviews), but the CPUs are all so fast now that people have to shell another...
The other parts of the Conroe review clearly gave the new Intel processor the advantage, but I love it when the reviewer actually has the guts to show the rabid Intel !!!!!!s what they don't want to hear - no gamer that doesn't have too much money is going to switch from the FX or X2 to any...
So if I get no benefits until G80/R600, why would I buy a CPU now instead of waiting until R600/G80 comes out and buying a faster CPU for the same money at the same time I upgrade my graphics card?
There's no denying the Core 2 is faster, cooler and cheaper than equivalently placed AMD processors. The main issue, and what I think this article tried to bring to light, is that under typical configurations the end user will see no benefit at the moment from switching from AMD to Intel...
