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.
It's possible - however granted as Kyle stated, the Intel quad-core will be 2 conroes, while the AMD will be a native quad-core.
As for performance, I don't think simple ramping of clock speeds will gain Intel too much ground without some sort of architectural upgrade as well.
We all saw...
As much as I agree - hiding never helps. I admire him taking the time to register on the forums to respond to a poor review. That shows, at very least, caring about their public face, which a lot of OEMs won't do.
As much as I refuse to ever buy a PC from them, at least I know their...
Remind me never to buy a Systemax PC.
What dealings I've had with them were inadequate at best - but I've never full out bought a system from them, and after seeing this, I likely won't.

see why i'm having so much trouble!!!
so yeah, i'm thinking i might have to upgrade to a 939 board and pci-e
we're pretty much aggreed that there's no best bang for buck on agp?
I'm a bit slow on the video card side of things, as I've been watching the whole Intel/AMD drama unfold quite closely.
My question is this:
My current video card is getting aged. I have a 9800 XT 256mb with a huge-ass zalman cooler and it's overclocked to hell and back.
I've been...
This is going to sound really silly, but it's beyond me, and it's probably something really simple.
I notice over here and on some other forums, they have a section to the side of the forums that the ads show up...
over there -------------->
where in vbulletin can I add that?
edit...
Yeah, for now. :P
-- anyways all flamebait aside ;)
FX60 is a solid performer, but for the price you're lookign at the 4800+ is a good bet imo
future proof is true as well, however DDR2 isn't going to yield an immediate increase in performance. down the road, sure.
/agree

Conroe is impressive. Yonah was a step up. Basically Conroe is what the Intel !!!!!! have been waiting for... it's only a matter of time though.
Really, neither is better. Sure. AMD is faster right now. But it's going to turn into the video card race from this point on. AMD...
I'm not one to peek my head into Intel !!!!!! range for chopping, however I will comment that from an AMD guy's perspective, Conroe is downright impressive. Hands down.
I say to wait until release time to give opinions on it, based on preliminary benchmarks it appears that the A64 has met its...
Wow, you're right. I haven't looked too much at Conroe, but a quick browse around the internet shows some interesting results. It looks like Intel is picking up lost ground really fast in that case.
I guess the coming months will show a lot, yes?
We can only hope. I'm really looking...
That's awesome, I look forward to seeing it. I was in the process of writing one myself, but unfortunately haven't had the time to finish it up.
Not to mention I don't have a whole lot of information that isn't widely known or available.
I can't get my contact to comment on that. PR guys are so hard to get to say "Yes", but I'd have to agree with you on that.
After acquiring Alienware, they'd have to try really really hard not to go that direction, and honestly I don't think Intel is paying them enough to keep being the...
