6.5-7
i kinda disagree with the premise that overclocking and experience with overclocking is the measure of how good a person is with computer hardware. there's a lot more to it than that, and there are plenty of people who are whizzes with hardware who've prolly never overclocked at all.Quote:

if this doesn't look fair, point that out
as a hobby, yeah, overclocking and Xxtreme k00ling take a certain amount of learning & skill, but how important actually is that skill? it's just a hobby. being able to build & maintain stable workstations, servers and LANs, being able to resolve hardware conflicts without immediately resorting to a reformat, etc.... that's the kind of stuff you could actually get paid for. for example, if a person thinks he has to reformat his Windows drive just 'cause he changed his motherboard, then he ain't that good.
If bigdawg is 8 then im 30'000.Quote:

Sorry Brainiac, but you are dead wrong. If you change your motherboard (go from a say, Dell->an Abit) you need to reinstall Windows, it's just a fact of life.
:lol: :lol: :lol: yah, bigdawg doesnt have ALOT of knowledge on this stuffQuote:

Sorry, Adam, but you've got the shit-covered end of the stick there. Perhaps another fact of life.
perhaps we should be nice and not get this thread closed
If it wasn't closed by "my comments" I doubt it'll be closed by anyone elses replies ;)Quote:
