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.
Bought a Gateway 700S back in 2002.
According to CPU-Z, it has an Intel D850EMV2.
Is it safe to flash the BIOS to an updated version from the Intel website?
Although I did consider asking anodizing shops as an option, it just struck me that it's highly unlikely they would accept the request of anodinzing a single piece of aluminum as opposed to a bulk of parts they would normally receive from a single client. I know I could be wrong on this, so I...
I'm aware that aluminum, when exposed to air, forms a coat of aluminum oxide for protection against corrosion. In anodizing aluminum, this coat of aluminum oxide is made thicker to further increase its protection from corrosion. In the process, the aluminum can be dyed in a number of colors...
I'm planning to remove the aluminum oxide coat on a heatsink. After looking into the topic, there seems to be several ways to achieve this.
1. Using an oven cleaner called Easy-Off. The good thing about this is that it's very effective. It even removes the coating on hard-anodized objects...
First of all, you stated in your thread title that you are looking for the "best bang for buck upgrade." This would eliminate the 7800GS as an option as it is too highly priced in my opinion. Narrowing down between the 6800GS and the X850XT, I think both cards will perform quite well in WoW...
I just bought a BFG 6800GT OC and I just have a couple of questions concerning its compatibility:
1) For the moment, this card will be installed on an OEM PC, specifically a Gateway. Using CPU-Z, the motherboard seems to be an INTEL D850EMV2. It uses AGP version 2.0 with a transfer rate of...
By "uninstalling" WMP under the Add/Remove Windows Components Menu, i think you're just removing access to it. In fact, there is no way to remove WMP completely. If you CLICK HERE, you can see Microsoft reaffirms this under section 2.4 of the article. And like the other guy, may I also suggest...
