    With all of the offshore outsourcing going on, we geeks need as much practice frying things as possible. =)

    But ... but ... but ... it's QUAKE! I simply HAFTA play at 400 frames per second! Have you tried playing it at any less? It's practically a slideshow!

    Seriously who doesn't know how to set there BIOS's settings?

    My 96 year old grandmother uttered the other day that she was not perfectly confident with setting the DRAM burst timings on her nforce2 board. I pointed her to this site and now she is happy, because she could squeeze 2 fps more out of her box and can thereby delay the "necessary" upgrade for another 3 months. Silly old granny and the fps madness...

    No overclocking is considered rock solid before you have compiled a complete gentoo on your OC CPU.
