    Probably know a whole lot more than you!

    Lessee here, I've owned over 25 notebooks since my first Tandy 600 in 1985.
    I've tore apart 1/3 of those notebooks.
    I do computer related work for a living:

    Yup... I don't know a thing about computers!
    I do know common sense!!!

    I'll be the first to say mines at 3 years right now.
    Sorry man, after reading your responses, everything contridicts itself. You say you will mod your car to 4 times its stock horsepower, yet will not overclock a laptop?

    Then you proceed to state that overclocking will do nothing for you...so how exactly does 700hp do anything to you either when the speed limit's massively what that car can do?

    I'm starting to wonder if you even have a 700hp vet...

    Actually, were tired of you trying to show off and make everyone else sound dumb by telling us how much more knowledgeable you are compared to us.

    So far, everyone that has read this thread has the same comments for you. Just cuz you show us your car and your 25 laptops and you website (a poorly made one too, but that's the topic for another day) doesn't mean crap.

    So you can believe and say whatever you want, but the fact is that you're comments are completely contradicting, and you have done nothing to prove your arguments (how p4 laptops barely last 2 years, and how OCing reduces the lifespan of notebook during the average ownership of a machine, and how it's ok to mod your car but not ok to mod your computer)

    Well, you see, you take a Stapler, a Giraffe, and Guitar, and well, ah, forget it, it's too complicated to explain. ;)
