Hey guys would you mind taking a little survey for me? It's just two questions

1. How much money do you make every year?

_____________

2. Send it to me.

Lol. I guess I shouldn't complain about money. I don't have a job which explains my lack of it. But I do have lots of rich italian uncles.

This summer I'm going to get a job somewhere though. (which is exactly what I said the last two summers)


Anyways back to overclocking. I sure would like to get my hands on a P4 3.06 Ghz with HyperThreading technology. I've seen people overclock those bad boys to over 4.1 Ghz, which is quite a respectable speed. Of course you would have to have an insane watercooling or peltier setup to achieve those speeds without burning up your comp.

Too bad the 3.06s cost $1,200 here in Quebec. (that comes up to almost 1400 after GST and PST )

Like I already said, I'd like to oc my pitiful 560 mhz up to a less pitiful 665 mhz, but I have no case fans, no hardware monitoring and no motherboard manual, which would make it a bitch to find those pci dividers. Unless I plan on running them at 45 mhz .

Heh for someone who knew next to nothing about computers 2 months ago, I think I'm doing pretty damn well.

TV5?? You planning on taking over an existing server? hehe


Doh, I thought we'd lost one of the servers again, and were back down to only 4?

After all my bills thats about how much I feel I make.


My current cpu is a T-Bird 1.4 and really only overclocks to 1.45 or so becuase my cooling sucks. Hopefully my new system will do better since Im getting the best hsf I could find.

Welp, been playing with my new system and so far this is what I've got to.


2400+(1990Mhz) AMD 266 w/512mb PC3200 running at 2305MHz(about 2900+eq)

FSB is running at 341MHz since this PC3200 doesnt seem to wanna run any faster (POS) Oh well, system is fast enough for me.
