Bumpy ride getting you in here, but hey, there's a bunch of Idiots running this joint, so, you know... what else would you expect? Welcome aboard, Dogs.

Welcome!

Now THIS is how you make a Mashup! http://youtu.be/If5MF4wm1T8

Probably still a lot of rerouting going on in the aftermath of Sandy. I know it's been hell for my internet radio station. Be glad you get great pings whenever you can.

So true, Johnny. Accordingly, they got an F.

Congrats, Stone, you Idiot.

Welcome. Prepare to die.

Too funny!

Okay, first off, nice bikes everyone! Now, can someone tell me why half the chicks on dating sites post pics of themselves on Harleys? Maybe I'm asking the wrong crowd. I'm an Idiot.

Cheers and Happy Birthday.

Doubling up on prayers, Angel.

Welcome. Prepare to die.

That is incorrect. Windows is linked to the specific hardware parameters it was able to gather and phone home with during the registration process. Attempts to modify the hardware beyond a certain point will trigger a request that the user contact Microsoft for instructions on how to re-register the product. Windows is licensed to a specific computer, and may not be randomly reassigned to another computer, even if the old computer is decommissioned and/or scrapped for parts. This is also true of Microsoft Office products. At one time, I had anticipated transferring a Microsoft Office Professional license from an old Dell computer to a new Dell computer. It was at that time, while discussing doing so with a Dell sales rep, that he informed me the licensing agreement for Microsoft Office is also tied to a specific machine and may not be transferred to another. I went back and read the EULA and found that was precisely the case.

Yeah, that's just asking for trouble. Even if it does successfully boot, you'll probably get an illegal registration notification on boot telling you to contact M$ to resolve the issue. Since it's a new machine, they will say, "yeah, you need to purchase a new copy of windows for that..."

He lost me at "carnal" but for entirely different reasons. Yeah, Chili, wtf? Innuendo and metaphor on steroids there. Hell of a way to proclaim you have a woody for some babe.

Prayers for comfort and peace all around.

I don't have the time. 45 minutes of my life I could never get back...

Welcome Fris.

Hey there. S'up?

That ought to kick some ass and take some names.

% Processor Utilization is not equal to, or have anything to do with Processor Speed. There is a work load that the CPU must accommodate. Now, is it going to do it at 100% of its rated speed, or is it going to do it at 125% of its rated speed? Utilization is still the same, but at 125% of rated speed, how can you not get the same work done faster? Does this make sense? As to not seeing improvements with a CPU overclocked, I can only assume that whatever was used as a benchmark in real life was either disk bound, or memory bound because memory was not tuned properly (or the modules were not matched properly to the processor) leaving the CPU waiting on the memory subsystem. Sorry guys. It is rocket science. You have to understand all the factors at play. For a Sandy Bridge motherboard chipset, which memory timing is better? 7-7-7-17-1T or 9-9-9-24-1T? What speeds can these modules be run at? Rhetorical of course, but if you cannot answer these questions, you have no business trying to OC anything. Stay AWAY from your BIOS. Save your money. Run a stock Intel CPU cooler/fan, and don't worry about another thing. - OR - Go ahead and educate yourself and have some fun. And, btw, not everyone has fun with this shit, so no shame in just accepting what you got. And for everyone in the middle, a reputable builder will get this all done for you at a reasonable cost. A cost below what some high-brow gaming system company (Alienware(Dell)) would sell it for, but possibly more than the Big Box Store deal-of-the-day.

Hahaha

Hi Sally. Welcome.

Again my question: Why? In Smokes case 25% of his Core i5 are IDLE. I see only one reason for consumers to overclock actual hardware, like damage_inc said: its just for bragging rights-oh look mines bigger...blah blah And the overclocking optins are only marketing tricks. IMHO it is no longer necessary... Bragging rights? Well, I'm not bragging. I just want to be able to fly X-Plane 10 with settings as close to maxed out as I can. And that takes horsepower. Period. http://youtu.be/MSb1mSFRyfU
