• 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 am not sure where I want to go for my next system upgrade. AM2 seems to have a pretty good dollar/performance ratio, but then, LGA775 seems to have a little longer life than AM2's outlook does. So here's three selections I think are good, let me know what you guys think.

All the configurations have this ram:

AM2 with 4200+ (65w)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103741 - $99.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138027 - $74.99
Total: $339.97

AM2 with 4600+ (65w)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103749 - $123.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138027 - $74.99
Total: $363.97

775 with E6300
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115005 - $181.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131046 - $85.99
Total: $432.97

Those are 90nm AM2 procs, I am not familiar with benefits with 65nm yet, so fill me in and feel free to replace parts with substitutes.
 
There were supposed to be price drops back in November(?) but those never materialized...
