    Sudo Chocolate got a reaction from tommi_6o in I know this is off-topic, but this is too funny :D   
    If you keep it like this the GPU will be brand new in a few days.

    Sudo Chocolate got a reaction from Just The Tips in Hackintosh - Stuck on apple logo after verbose   
    If you can't access verbose for this part than I am not sure what to say. Generally I have had problems at this stage with drivers and it just stops at the loading of that driver. I, on the contrary, have had better luck with Unibeast as it seems to be more 'universal' without much configuration (I do prefer clover though). Could you say what you are using to install? USB flash drives seem to work better than USB external hard drive (IDK why).
    I would suggest posting on tonymacx86.com as people there know alot more. As I recal they have article on this kind of issue.
    Good Luck,

    Sudo Chocolate got a reaction from Nup in Multiplier vs FSB: Will the FSB change more?   
    So I am getting into overclocking and it seems that the multiplier*fsb=speed. The FSB is what  connects the chipset to CPU and other stuff so would changing the FSB affect things other than the clockspeed of the CPU?
     
    Thanks,

    Sudo Chocolate got a reaction from Korepavore in what is the difference between RAM and CPU?   
    People already did a great job but I thought I could add. The RAM and CPU are kind of like a team (actually, lets just say they are a team). The CPU receives all the inputs from the user and processes them. While it stores things like data and system variables for later in the RAM. The RAM receives the data and where it should be stored from the cpu and then just flicks a few switches which store the data as on(0) or off(1) (binary).
     
    lets do an example of how your computer would handle a basic math equation (4+4):
     
    1: Your computer receives the text from your keyboard and converts they key clicks to binary values: 100 +* 100 (100 is equal to four in binary)
    * it would also convert + to a certain number/command in binary but I am not sure what it is. Don't worry about it.
    2: your computer sends those values and the command (+) to RAM to be stored until it is ready.
    3: next the processor would also send data to the GPU (graphics processing unit) to display '4+4' on you screen.
    4: The CPU is now ready to execute 4+4 so it gets the data back from RAM and the command (+) tells it to use the ALU*
    * the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a part of the CPU that handles all arithmetic (math) and logic (ex. A=C).
    5: the CPU successfully runs the command and data through the ALU and gets the output 8 which it stores in RAM at a certain address
    6: The CPU now retrieves the data from RAM to once again send it to the GPU to show you on the screen.
     
    Of course this happens very quickly but I hope this explains a bit more! There is a ton of exciting stuff to learn so do some research! This example was not entirely exact and not very thorough but I hope it gives you a basic explanation. A CPU can only do one things at a time (of course some have more cores, a different story) so the RAM is used to hold all of the stuff a CPU needs. It is kind of like a computer's hard drive for it's photos and documents but alot simpler and it gets erased every time you shut down.
     
    Hope this helps!
