That's 4 hours southeast of me.
Sorry to hear you got laid off.

[two_scoop_steve]

yeah it was shitty, i just got the job and worked 14 out of 16 days and when i went the boss told me they did not need me anymore. i was like you should've called me since you now my car was in the shop and had to ride my bikecycle to work which was about 9 miles from my house, so it was 9 miles up and 9 miles straight back. i was pretty pissed.

So, is anyone other than Jay seeing an ad at the top of this site? It's not supposed to be there if it is.

[Izret101]

I see no ad.

[captain_nintendo]

I don't see an ad either.

I'm thinking of lapping my CPU to cool it down. But if I mess up I would have to spend £100 on a new CPU and I would have to use the crummy old laptop until the new CPU came. I'd get withdrawal symptoms if I'm away from this computer for more than a day. Apparently Core 2 Duo heat spreaders (The metal bit on top, can't remember what it's called) are often uneven, which means they don't contact the heat sink so well.


I've got my Core 2 Duo E6300 1866Mhz up to 2.5Ghz but it's around 45-50*C at idle.


PS. Yes, Cap'n, I'm talking about my PC again.

If your PC is giving you trouble and it has a floppy drive i have a solution.

Carefully open a floppy disc. Get some matches with white heads, scrape heads inside floppy disc.
Insert disc into floppy dirve.

Enjoy retribution.

Just use arctic silver, I would not recommend doing anything to the processor itself.  If you want to sand something, sand the heatsink not the proessor.

So i just finished making 2 nearly identicle PCs on dell.com (different system models)

The one with a Intel® Celeron D® Processor 347 (3.06, 533 FSB) costs 70$s more that the one with the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+
