Beeellieeeevvveee me....
There are some people out there that would do the stupidest things out there with there computer.... then take it back and ask why it doesnt work anymore... heh.
I had one incident where a someone brought a bored to me for a warranty claim... says it doesnt work... easy enough... before I took it back, I had to test it while he watched.
popped a cpu in it, popped a stick of ram in it, plugged in a Vid Card and power supply, used my screwdriver to short the power switch leads... power goes in and smoke starts to come out of the board!... I was like WTF?!?.. closer examiniation showed its coming from the BIOS chip....
Yet, an even closer look showed that the god damn thing was plugged in backwards!... Okay, he brought the stupid thing back once before because he couldn't get it to turn on... I've tested that very same mobo a week before that date and it worked... The moron took the bios chip out and replaced it backwards!..
umm.. right..
Oh, I have 1000's of stories of computer stupidty... but anyways..
Yeah, athlons has got to be cooled quite well.. not to mention their finicky with cheap power suppplies... But still, I think AMD should rethink their design... if a processor can't run properly if its not supercooled.. then thats a serious design flaw.
I can't deny, had not been for AMD, there would have not been the huge advances both companies have made.
anyhow..doorbell.. gotta run.
