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.
Who's coming for me?

Why are you looking at your butt... Look ahead !!
2328 days my friend!
I'm sure it will be before that, I have more "D" to come
By then I'll have more "D" then god.
Bring it, don't sing it!
Hugs,
relic

No....
"D" comes from God, you can't have more than him.

If you are god, the answer is not "D" but a cure for a swift kick in the ass of diseases
No...God gave us "D".
We only do his bidding.
After all:
In the beginning God created the [H]ard and the folder Now the [H]ard was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the [H]ard. God said, "Let there be D," and there was D. God saw the D, and saw that it was good. God divided the [H]ard from the {s}oft. God called the [H]ard "heroes," and the {s}oft he called "Tom's." There was evening and there was morning, one day.
Just my interpretation.

At current production according to hardfolding it will take me a bit over a year to run your old ass over. That means I'm coming for you. Sure, it's not looking good about adding D at the moment due to a few factors and that probably won't change until the Fall, but look out. You never know what I might be able to pull out of my ass.
Depending on how things go, I might actually spend a bit of the stimulus check BS on a B3 Phenom x4 to upgrade my current X2 4000+@3.0. While not a huge boost, it should do well.
As much as I would like to keep that system, there is a chance I might end up selling it in which case I will make sure I get more than enough money out of it to build another Intel quad box and overclock the piss out of it which would give me better points.
I also plan on building at least one more Intel quad box, whether it's 65nm or 45nm remains to be seen before the year is out. I can always handle another 4k-5k PPD.
After that I'll probably be waiting and saving up some cash (as well as paying off bills) and jump on the Nehalem processors when they come out if they are even remotely affordable as a total system and have performance which dwarfs the current processors. Damn I would love to get my hands on an 8 core Nehalem.

Although not as good as an equivalently clocked C2Q, it should be worth close to double the production capability of your current processor it will replace. That's almost certain.
Go for the 45nm chips, especially if it's later in the year when prices will be a little better. The extra cache and higher OC potential will be important with the new SMP WUs Stanford is releasing and will release later. Future proofing is highly advisable if possible and/or affordable.
The Beckton variant of Nehalem (octal-core) will be available only for server platforms to replace or run alongside the Dunnington hex-core being released in the 2H of this year. These are MP processors for quad sockets and above, unfortunately. Although there are still rumors circulating of a dual-socket Dunnington, it is unlikely Intel will manufacture a run of DP hex-cores or octal-cores in the near future unless the competition (aka AMD) does also. Desktop octal-cores are even further in the future but again, it depends on the competitive landscape.

The reason I'm not sure about the 45nm is due to pricing as well as some other things.
I know the 8 core CPUs won't be out for desktop use for a long while, I'm just hoping they will be out around Spring of next year, well at least affordable. I don't see it has happening but I can always wish.
Besides, if AMD does get Bulldozer out anytime around 8 core Nehalem I might just go with them if they are priced good. That and if the architecture does do what I think it will do. AMD is in trouble until Bulldozer comes out but I think things will pick up dramatically when it does finally come out as long as it's not castrated in one way or another.
