Some do like me for example as a comparison is what usually occurs and it saves saying your specs everytime it may be needed which includes talking about games (will it run?), making a post with suggestions also answers (so, whats your specs?), or pc problems or even general pc talk. Plus it's a chance for some to show off :P.
So, in actual fact I see it far more usefull then your sig so plz don't complain.

I think its a good idea sometimes a member may have a problem and psot it and the peopel trying to help can simply look at their specs

I didn't know B&Q were doing computer hardware.
They'll be taking over from PCWorld next.
Oh those were the days, wander into PCWorld and ask them a question about computers, then laugh for the rest of the lunch hour while they ran around like headless chickens trying to find someone who had the vaguest idea what you were talking about. B)

Hehe, if you wander into Time and ask what motherboard is in one of their computers they look at you as if you're speaking a foreign language.
And if you patiently explain to them that the motherboard is the single most important part of a computer, they get really offended at you talking down to them. :lol:

Even if they understood your question, Time (and they aren't alone in this) put so many different motherboards into their comps (even supposedly the same model) that they couldn't tell you which was in there anyway.
But it's not as much fun if they get upset. You are obviously asking far too technical questions. Wait till no-one's looking, then turn one off at the switch on the ps and ask 'how do you switch it on', it's probably good for at least half an hour if you insist you want to see that one working.
Its a way of showing off If u have a sweet computer with updated stuff also it can save u trouble If u have a problem and u someone wants to know your specs u don't have to write em out all the time.

I meant to say that my Dell has 98 megs of SDRAM, and then my video card has 16 megs of SDRAM.

How did you get 98 megs of RAM?

Probably 96, I built it a while back, so that's how.
And the 6 looks like an 8 if you try real hard.

It's 96. A 64-meg stick and a 32-meg stick.
btw you should get a new mouse, they're quite handy.

I made a picture of you. You look French in it.
I drew a barat on your heads top.
It was hard, with so little room to draw.
I also gave you glasses and a goate.
