        I believe the 6XX series is enabled by default now. But this was always such a pain in the ass, because I seemed to always forget to change this. Even though I KNEW it was like this.

          It's surprising that it hasn't been default for longer. Why would someone want "off" as the default for the past several years at least.

          What is the advantage of having it off, anyway? Is there a performance or security advantage for those who are not using it?
