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.
I was checking the play store randomly between 6AM PST and when I placed my order. I'm glad I didn't know the supposed launch of 9AM PST or I probably wouldn't have got the order in.

Vizio Thin and Light 14" 1600x900 4GB RAM 128GB SSD

However the Zenbook Prime...
I'm really thinking about buying the UX32VD (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX32VD/)
Does anyone know if the HDD can be removed so I could input my own SSD?
I already have an SSD so I'd like to save some money on an ultrabook with a HDD. Unfortunately many...
Who's going to buy a 7870 now?! I find it interesting that they price dropped the 7900s and 7700s but avoided the mid-range cards, effectively making a effing mess of the pricing structure.
Still waiting for 7870 to be priced around $300-$320
When I opened msconfig, my number of processors was not actually selected. But I had changed it a couple days before.
I changed my startup selection from selective to normal and that fixed it.
Ha, I had changed that setting to 2, thinking it would make my boot up faster. Is this a bug? On my i5-2500k I have it set to 4 processors on boot and never had any problems.
See image below;
Am I missing a core? Motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 with F8 bios.
According to Intel's website it should be 2C 4T, but when I ran cinebench I only got a score of 1.47. Reviews indicated it should be closer to 3.
