I go to a college in south Houston called Westwood college. Now, let me explain what happened:
I walked into one of the smaller computer labs here to check on some borgs and overheard this kid talking about how ATI and AMD are the same company. I was somewhat shocked at how moronic the first statement I heard was.
He proceeded to tell these people in the room that if you get an AMD processor, they should buy the AMD video processor (ATI). I then asked him what type of PC hes got and he said:
*insert long pause while thinking*
2.1 terabytes of hard drive space
*insert long pause here*
AMD 64 dualcore 3ghz processor
*insert another long pause*
4 gigs of ram
And then he stopped talking and continued to talk to the other people.
First off, anyone who is a complete dork and/or passionate about computer hardware like this guy claims to be would have said every model number of everything in their system. I personally can spout off the specs of my system with ease. I know everything in my system down to each wire and piece of velcro used to hold the LEDs.
Secondly, anyone with an overclock such as a 3ghz wouldve wanted to boast about their cooling. Be it insane air cooling or a good watercooling setup, they would mention it.
Im just in awe at how rediculous some people can be, and I wanted to shove a chair up his cologne and make him look like an idiot in front of the people he was attempting to impress.
