Do You Memorize Your Specifications?

[miyabwah]

and by specifications, I don't mean SKU and model number, I just mean product names and things of that.

I have a friend at school who thinks I'm a wizard because I memorized my brother and I's PC Specifications.

[Jodomcfrodo]

If I ordered it and built it, I should know them by heart. 

[Thorium19]

Yes I do. I get confused at why some of the people in school who have gaming PCs can't even remember what they bought for it, yet I can rattle off part names as though it's second nature.

[Speedbird]

No problem.

Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD

Memorization implies some kind of effort.  I just remember them That happens naturally with anything you're passionate about or have a lot of experience with, but it does always seem impressive from the outside.

[elecxonica]

I know the vague stuff - 3.2 gigahertz quad core i5, gt 640 with 2 gigs of ddr3 ram, stuff like that, but not really things like model numbers.

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

As Glenwing and Jodomcfrodo said. 

[iruixos]

So am I a wizard for knowing a Counter Strike 1.6 key from memory?

 

Also yes to OP's question

[vt3c]

Not exactly a hard thing to do, Like anything  we are enthusiastic about we already know all the different brands and products, so the only thing we have to remember is which product in which PC, which is greatly helped because there is a reason for the pc so we have the added advantage of association e.g we remember it had only 8G of ram because the owner said they weren't doing anything harder than gaming and it was generic corsair because tit was a budget build.

 

 

EDIT, just realised I didn't put any full stops (periods) in that sentence, so here they are here: ........

[Phllips]

v its literally 33% of my life. the other 67% being sleeping and gaming.

[antoainb]

Yes. Even if you upgrade very often it shouldn't be hard to remember it.

[lufihengr]

I even remember how much vdroop I get under load

[seiny]

I wouldn't say I memorized it but I know exactly what's in my PC since I hand picked everything

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

Memorized in any shape or form.

4960X? Dude, 5960X.

[TheProfosist]

Nope no need just kinda know it and most PC's I build or spec. Hell I can do that with many I havnt built before as well.

[Humbug]

If you research your own components, buy it and build it yourself, configure and update drivers + firmware yourself. You just don't forget...

[Blecter]

I know mine easily, and a the ones I've tinkered with that are owned by others. Usually puts a confused look on non-builder's faces when you start talking about the hardware, especially names/models/etc.

[joshuabg]

I remember the specs of my modded dell

Intel core i5 2310 @ 2.9 ghz

Samsung 1tb HDD 7200rpm

Dell slim case with Dell motherboard manufactured October 2011

Zotac GTX 650 low profile

Seasonic 350 watt power supply.

TP-Link Wireless card

Windows 8.1 with Ubuntu 14.04 for Android Building

Think thats all

[LOST TALE]

Effort?

I decided I wanted to remember and so I remembered.

[chilicheeseburger]

I try to.

Of course when you built it yourself and you picked all the parts you're gonna know what's in there.

I can remember everything except the cpu cooler for some reason.

[martlart]

I'm not trying to. I just remember it out of enthusiasm.

[Jacknif]

Easy to remember.
