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.
Go for an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ with the Winchester core (90nm), and a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum.

Edit: Microsoft haven't released Windows XP x64 Edition yet, but you can...
Don't mix up PCI-X and PCI-Express. It's two different buses. PCI-X (or PCI-extended) was made by IBM, Compaq and HP back in 1998, I think. Anyway, back to your topic. :rolleyes:
Try to save just a little more for a Geforce 6600GT.
