1 WU finished

[TheEqualizer]

Yay finished my first WU and still no recogniction boo hoo im going on strike.

[GNXtreme]

Just hide and watch....you'll be there.

[GNXtreme]

I am actually seeing you there now...23.6 points...not bad for your first wu.

[TheEqualizer]

Hmm wonder if it would be faster if i kept my cpu over clocked

[Polykranopalous]

yes it would

[BionicRedneck]

well isn't that the point of overclocking <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

[TheEqualizer]

Heh im trying to save some of the CPU life of this since its going into my sons computer tomorrow when my Barton comes

[Polykranopalous]

meh than dont bother if it would only be 1 day

[GNXtreme]

Yeah, again I hate to agree with poly....just wait for the barton.

[BionicRedneck]

it's not so much that overclocking a cpu reduces it's life it's more has to do with the higher temps that are accompanied. I read somewhere that cpu's are disigned to last 10 year so if I get 30% of that I happy.

[GNXtreme]

3 yrs on a CPU would be great...I usually upgrade long before it dies...

[Polykranopalous]

<br><br><< <i>Yeah, again I hate to agree with poly</i> >><br><br>its a risky move there, but im glad you agreed!

[GNXtreme]

I am probably gonna regret that one later, huh, poly....

[BionicRedneck]

I usually average about 3-6 month in between cpu purchases.

[GNXtreme]

I just ordered a new one...it's been about 9 mos for me.

[TheEqualizer]

its been about *cough* 3 weeks *cough* for me

[Polykranopalous]

ya u probably will GNXtreme

[GNXtreme]

It figures...

[BionicRedneck]

I had just replace my palamino with a tbred both 1800+'s about a month ago what was nice was after selling my palamino the tbred only cost me $12 difference. In another week or 2 I want to get another tbred eithier a 1700+ or 2100+. all I need is a nic, psu, cpu and I could get another computer folding. My goal is to be able to get 1000 pts a week.

[TheEqualizer]

I got a spare nic sitting on my desk now

[BionicRedneck]

thats cool thanks for the offer but I found a place locally that sells them for $10.

[GNXtreme]

That is interesting, redneck, I just ordered a tbred 2100, and 1700....one for me and one for the wifey...

[BionicRedneck]

That should give you a big boost in points.

[BionicRedneck]

Is there any other kind <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Bionic, where did you sell your Palomino? eBay? If I knew I could get decent prices for older parts, I would upgrade more. Generally I get a new computer every year. But by then the parts are so old, they arent worth much.

[BionicRedneck]

nope I sold it locally but ebay is a good place to sell your old parts.
