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 plan on purchasing a new system soon with an Asus p5k and probably a Q6600. I game quite a bit, but never overclock - Stability is very important to me. Crucial's website shows this ddr2-800 BL2KIT12864AA804 as compatible...
I read elsewhere that applications not specifically coded for the quads may be somewhat slower than dual cores due to memory bus limitations. Is there any truth to this?
I'm in agreement with ZacharyS - the $80 difference is minimal.
