Fer Christ' Sake !

An idiot "friend" of my is running around boasting that he "overclocked" his graphics card from 64 -> 128 MB RAM.

My thoughts exactly - this guy had previously "reformatted" his PC by manually erasing all files. Fom "My Documents".

Turns out , he has a shared graphics card , which allows the memory allocated to graphics to be user-set. All he did was press F10 for BIOS , then steal 64 MB from his regular memory to be used by the card.

Net result : a slow computer and a lowest-end budget card with 128 MB RAM. Trouble is , he's running around claiming he is the new Tech Guru of the Age ™. I may not know much about computers (Oooh... buttons...) but I thought overclocking was slightly more complex - he won't believe me.

Please , tell me I'm right and he's an idiot. Please...

Overclocking is making something run faster then the factoring settings. What he did isnt OC'ing

Thanks. Some reassurance that I haven't lost it... yet.

Now to convince the brickhead...

Maybe you should ask your friend to define "overclocking" for you.

No doubt his explanation will amuse and horrify us all.

[SingaBoiy]

I was thinking the same thing. Make sure you get a recording of it.
