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 gotta be MSFT. They would love to add this to thier portfolio. It would complement their Xbox Live TV and dying Internet TV channel in Media Center.
Netflix is on their board of directors and wants to be everywhere so I don't see this damaging any partnerships with them. MS + Hulu sounds...
I've been looking into this myself. There are a couple pluggin's for Media Center that get Hulu and Netflix working plus a few that improve playback for a ripped movie library.

Netflix: vmcNetflix...
I just picked up a Antec NSK1480 and love it.

There is another version that comes with a remote and has an LCD screen.

The build quality is awesome and there...
as long as none of the pins aren't broken off the best way to fix this is with a mechanical pencil. put the pins in the tip of the pencil and straighten them up... works great...
You really shouldn't compare the number of shader units. Despite ATI having over 3 times the shaders of the Nvidia chip, ATI's shaders take up about 40% fewer transistors... ( NV at 1.4 billion , ATI at 956 million).
This is one to leave up to the benchmarks.
Great question and I've been asking the same thing myself. I'm looking to upgrade to a 4850 and keep my 8600GT as a dedicated Physx / Cuda processor.
According to an article on guru3d, you can do this with 2 different nvidia cards. They used a GX280 and a 9600gt.
5400+ BE?! Well that just made your decision easy.
2.8ghz is a nice stock speed for Athlon's. It gives you the full 800mhz clock speed for your memory.
+1 on the 5800+... I upgraded to one from a X2 3600+ and its a hell of a big difference at stock clocks.
I considered the 5000+ BE until I realized that I would be trying to overclock it to 3ghz when this one ships at that clock.
I don't know if Cool n' Quiet matters to you, but...
