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.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will try to source that monoprice DAC/AMP in the UK. Probably should have mentioned that, and not used $ in my OP, hehe.
Hello all, first post in a while so please be gentle!
Right now I'm looking to upgrade my audio equipment, which is used with my PC.
I have a set of Edifier TII Studio Monitors (active) and a set of Sennheiser HD555's, both hooked in to a "Y" splitter which is plugged into my Xonar D2X...
While I havent used a "standard" IPS panel, I can say that the one in QNIX is several orders of magnitude better when compared to a TN panel in terms of colour clarity, depth and general contrast. I'm very impressed with it.
It's true that once OCing to 120hz the colors change (noticeably...
Received QNIX qx2710 Evolution II, Pixel Perfect in Matte yesterday.
Right out of the box next to my 24" TN panel Samsung 300A, the sheer resolution and colour clarity were great and really puts the old TNs to shame for the price.
Tried three overclocks, 96hz, 110hz and finally 120hz - all...
Your first issue, the network - Vista has completley overhauled the new network and where it may be a little harder, after a few goes you're easily up and running. First, to disable the password you simply turn off 'password protected sharing' in the network and sharing center.
Second, you go...
If you use raid5, you can use three 1TB drives, two striped and one backup, so if one fails the data can be remade onto the two drives that still function. You might want to wikipedia raid5 and raid10
You will need a dedicated raid card for anything like raid 5 or 10.
You can also make your 32bit Vista think there's more than 3-3.5gb of ram, but it's better to have 64bit straight out.
I use 32bit myself, but it wouldn't be a problem for me to switch to 64bit whenever I need it.
I'd go 64bit.
No offence taken. The thing is, in games, I have eyecandy as much as possible, but where i'm working or developing, on my desktop, i normally prefer to have minimalist desktops, but I have varied before.
My main actaul gripe is, as you pointed out, bloatware just to run a simple...
