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.

All in one server to be running XCP and particularly the following VMs.

Actually I am planning ahead for DigiTurk which is supposed to start HD broadcasting soon. Meanwhile I will be testing with Astra satellite. Also I think I have found the perfect motherboard

I was asking mainly because one is usually stuck with a certain OS when using modded drivers. Flashing on the other hand is OS independent. The clocks can usually be changed via Rabit and the card can be flashed with a modded bios for correct clock speed. One might lose certain functions though...
How about the two compared purely from a hardware-only point of view ? I have just read that ATI drivers do not support XvMC which means no offloading parts of MPEG2 decoding to GPU so Nvidia has the upper hand but on the other hand Abit doesn't have HDMI output. Would I lose signal quality if...
I can also get these parts from a friend who is a reseller via trade, perhaps they would be more suitable for HTPC use since linux doesn't take advantage of the purevideo decoder I might as well use o/b graphics.

this is the product link, it says HDTV ready
I am building an HTPC to connect to a Full HD 37" LCD TV. I am thinking of using MythTV with an appropriate linux distribution (one that includes pre-built binaries of MythTV). The HTPC will have a high def satellite pci card : DVB-S2 and a regular DVB-S card (both linux compatible)...
If you are referring to my post I forgot to mention the 30 bucks difference is based on the prices where I live which is Turkey. The GTS 640 is pretty expensive here and except from Sparkle all other branded GTS 640 are more expensive than the Sapphire HD2900XT hence further messing with my...
HD2900XT is like 30 bucks more expensive than the 640 MB 8800GTS (Sapphire and Sparkle Brands) and I am yet to decide between the two however I'm leaning more towards Nvidia because of issues like this --> Just check out the links at the bottom, it's from a review by the German website named...
Read somewhere that the bios isn't different between cards that are identical except for having different amount of vram - like the GTS320 and GTS640... both should use the same bios.
