School is school...is school. After 12 years, it's no more fun. I had a miserable time with school my entire life, it was just never a good experience. Alot of people still ge to piggy back off their parents, and get cash in the mail and all that good stuff...yah that's not gonna happen for me...

That's the only reason my mother is working, just to pay bills. I would hate that. 100% of her paycheck goes into the bills, not one penny of "splurge" money, or savings or anything. My dad also works, but he can take a portion of his check and save it or buy something now and then...

You can do waht I do, and work during the day, go to school at night. I'm still a full time student and I have time enough for 2 jobs during the day. If you think getting above minimum wage is going to be enough in life...well I hope you realize how pitiful that is before it's too late. I make...

That and before there was overclocking software available to the public, the BIOS was the only place to do it. And before there were flexible overclocking BIOS's (or home-brewed BIOS mods) it was just jumpers on a motherboard, or sometimes modifying transistors/capacitors :o So really it's just...

"user defined"? It's still probably all Dell software used for overclocking, i mean most user's can't even access the BIOS. It's probably just all pre-defined settings, and you click 1 or 2 buttons to "overclock" the machine lol.

Too bad it's still paired with a Dell "optimized" OS, which will completely take away the "zip and zoom" feel of such a fast computer. Almost every Dell I've been on, has felt sluggish in general use compared to a similiary spec'd PC with the "same" OS (just not Dell optimized.) Tack onto that...

But I didn't buy a GM car...so no, it doesn't/didn't affect my decision. I also did not buy a Nissan because of their amazing commercials, I bought one because I know they are reliable. No, I id not hear that on a commercial, I asked friends and family who own Nissan's. So, for me at least, I...

...but they didn't ACCOMPLISH anything, besides a quick look at their ad. You didn't buy anything, you didn't recommend that brand to a friend, you didn't do anything. They probably spent thousands of dollars for that ad, thousands more to pay the model, etc. And for all that, they got me to...

How much did you overclock it? You can't expect drastic results from a small overclock. With video cards, simply getting another 2 points in 3DMark can be the difference betwen a world record and a 2nd place trophy. I know the guy who holds the WR for best score with a X700 on a P4 machine, he...

I agree with Nubius, I might be more "attracted" to a hot chick on a magazine ad, but no way in **** am I going to go buy something I don't already know I'll need jsut because of her. If I'm in the market to buy something and determine that I need it, how will a chick advertising it make me...

Trust your BIOS overall. Just remember if your mobo temp sensor is messed up/damaged, even your BIOS can be wrong. Speedfan is my favorite monitoring program. For best results, you'll want a higher FSB and lower multi. Instead of 200*12, you want 240*10 to get 2.4GHz (just an example). If your...

who said you were stubborn? my post was mainly directed to the thread starter... As a side not, just because someone grows up in the U.S. doesn't mean there life has been an easy ride the whole way through. People still get discrimanated against, shot because of their religion, raped and...

Rly? Same here dude, I'm a janitor under Jan Pro, for Water Tower Inc. I've been cleaning at a daycare mostly. What is funny, is the adult restrooms are just as bad as the little kid's. Adult's still leave floaties an forget to flush, and they still have problems with using too much toilet...

theres a new one with some hooker in her underwear and bra ntop of some fat guy, and hes supposedly jsut died but she is trying to wake him up, and she keps bouncing up and down on him and her boobs are all flopping everywhere... yah thts all i can remember. i dont remember the product, the...

Nope, not quality, but not worth returning the entire computer or even just the video card back in. That'd probably be a 1-2 week RMA process even if it was free, he'd have to wait. I don't think any computer manufacturer is totally free of errors on all their computers, you're overall quality...
