Usually that would be a facepalm

Unless she was using it for a very large storage NAS or for Btc mining

nope, from my knowledge its for normal office stuff like web browsing and such

[themaniac]

Damn that's crazy

yeah, i wish i could search for accounts on pcpp to find the actual build

Ask manerreli and maybe he will add that feature

My friend said a Mac can run SLI with his TV and that's why Apple is superior in every way

If your monitor turns off, you tend to lose unsaved data.

this is from my aunt, "my co workers said that you need atleast 3x the total wattage pcpartpicker says"

Using that logic, if PCPartPicker said your system will consume 1000W, take that x3 and you have a power supply that doesn't exist and therefore, a system that can't exist(unless you do some modding with multiple power supplies).

yep, and it is possible to use mulitple psu's in one system, just have them power different things like one for the gpus and one for the rest

Oh boy, Have i got a gripe for people who dont understand how internet connection works .

My sis : RIDSKA , WTF HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE INTERNET , ITS NOT WORKING , DID YOU HACK THE INTERNET ?!?!

Me : calm down sis , ill take a look what is the problem and try to fix it .

After 8 to 15 min of troubleshooting , i found out that the ISP ( Internet service provider ) side was the problem , so it sould take a few minutes for them to get back online .

Me : ok sis the ISP was down so it should take no more th-.

my sis : TURN the ISP back on .

Me : 0_0 wait wha - .

after se said that , my sis was serching the router for the word ISP written all around it with big letters.

she thought that i turned off the ISP and hacked our router and re routed the net all to my self and then broke the router.

 

after the internet came back on , i tried to explian her how a internet connection works , but she was too consintraited on shouting at my face and tried to tell my mother that i was a hacker ( and BTW , do not get me started about my mother and tech , both of them are like water and oil , they dont mix ) .

My mousepad stopped working" -Linus wife

The time when I was at the refuse store at the local tip, and they slapped a price of $10 on an ancient AMD 486 computer.

Then they only asked $20 for a HP workstation beast-mode machine with dual Pentium III processors LOL

 

(not really a quote, but pretty dumb)

Were you un-dumb enough to purchase it though ? Hehe...

[royalcrown]

I have a new one:

 

 " So I learned that not all CPUs run at the same speed due to variations in the manufacturing process. The higher quality the silicon used, the higher the clockspeed that can be achieved. That's why we have i7's ranging from $200, to $1000, essentially they're all the same chip".

In a way they are right though. First you have binning of components as well as disabling defective units on chips and selling them as lower end like i7 with some defective HT to an I5 and such. They aren't all the same chip of course, but that's not TOO far off.

I do all my gaming on an older ASUS monitor with 1440 x 900 resolution. Seriously, not even 1080p.

It might seem dumb when my other (more powerful) computer has a far bigger screen.

But I'm an engineer who uses just enough energy and resources to get the job done to a satisfactory standard, so you won't ever see me playing Minecraft on an overclocked Core i7 5960X with 64GB DDR4 RAM and two Titan X's in SLI.

It's a stark contrast to many retarded gamers out there who just want all the power known to mankind and build the most overkill gaming rigs ever known to mankind.

Jesus..at least go with a nice 22" 1080p monitor. If you want to save electricity hook it up to a Duron 600 and a Geforce 256 or something to offset the horrible 1440 x 900 resolution.

"The more used space on the hard drive the more it slows down the computer!"

This is due to the fact that mechanical drives formatted with NTFS do tend to slow down when they get down to the last 10-15 percent free space. Other file system formats don't tend to slow down as much.

The amount of people still quoting my post without reading my replies is fucking ridiculous.

Because you did not qualify that post. If you said something later, that's cool. Wasn't trying to flame anyone.

I'm not saying it's hard, but the whole idea is absolutely absurd.

"My Xbox One has over a terabyte of memory"

that actually is true if he has a Xbox one with the 1TB hard drive!

[MEC-777]

In that case, it would be 1TB of storage, not memory.  

 

Memory = RAM.

Erm, no(ish).  Hard disk is ROM (read only [wait for it wait for it] memory).

 

Whilst some people know that sometimes ROM is refered to as storage, it is not incorrect to call it memory.

 

For years I had a problem of how could it be read only when you wrote to it all the time.

Then I decided to just accept RAM is the stick stuff whilst ROM is hard drives etc (E)PROM is the sort of stuff I would call 'real' ROM in that you (pretty much) only read from it, stuff like the BIOS and to a lesser extent the CMOS.

 

Perhaps a better way would be :-

HDD (SSD) is non-volatile memory (rather than ROM)

System memory is volatile memory (rather than RAM)
