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.
How Many converts?

i have owned a few computers, starting with an Atari 400, then C64, 286, various Mac's, and even a Sparc 20.
my first x86 system was an Intel 286-8MHz with a whooping 16MB of RAM. this was in 1990. in 1992 i put together my first home built system using an AMD 386-16MHz - even had the 387 FPU! in 1996 i switched to an Intel 486-66Mhz and then a DX4 100MHz in 1997. from there i went to an Intel Celeron 333MHz in 1999. my wife and i shared the Celeron and that sucked so i picked up a friend's Intel PIII 450MHz CPU and a salvaged mobo from work and let her keep the 333MHz Celery.
in 2003 i decided to upgrade and went for an AMD Althon XP 2800 Barton. I use Cubase and the latest version at that time suggested using the AMD processors for better stability. the PIII 450 became a web/printer server.
last month i upgraded to an Athlon 64 2800 and upgraded my wife from the Celeron 333 to an Sempr()n 64 2500 OC'd to 2.1GHz. my wife's old system was upgraded with a PIII 500Mhz and is now running Slackware 10.2 as a server/C+ compiler (accessed via SSH).
the only Intel i purchased was the Celeron 333MHz - all the other's were obtained from other's who upgraded or were taken from junked machines (i worked for a few computer service companies). so i have voted with my wallet - AMD all the way for my x86 architecture based systems.

Voting with your wallet? What ever happened to the good old days when AMD processors were less than $100 for good ones .

I didn't vote, because there was no "whoever makes the best chip in my price range" option. Although, I have been using AMD for quite some time now. They have the edge in gaming so that's where my allegiance will lie.
