    Exclamation Wanted: XS Reporters

    Now that our new front page is up, it's time to get busy! XtremeSystems is looking for reporters who will scour the web for interesting articles, possibly write articles themselves...and submit them for the front page.

    Anyone interested please PM me.

    possibly slightly off topic, but have user created articles/reviews been considered?

    As in article/review is written by xxxx then staff members can critique/read it for validity etc and make it an "official" review..?

    I'd be very interested! Are you looking for reviews only, or would how-to guides, user projects and commentary articles be welcome as well? I'd like to do a running commentary, weekly or the like, overclockers.com style, but more from our perspective (Joe Citarella seems like he's looking out for Joe Shmoe computer user too often).

    Hi Matt,

    First, please remove the link from your sig, it's not allowed.

    Next, that sounds like a good idea to me, I'll talk to Fugger and Chilly about it. Can you PM me an example?

    hmm i noticed that the article lead in is only displayed and not the body text. i guess for news it is better if everything is in the article lead-in. Okay... in the future

    Oops, sorry Kaz, wasn't aware of that rule - it's done.

    As for the article, no problem, I'll write it up tonight if I can.

    overclocking guide? hmm thats really tough. so much and where to start?
    i think it is impossible to have a complete overclocking guide with every single option in the bios discribed. its also very different for each motherboard. the principle is always the same though. and hmm i think people on XS dont need to learn overclocking anymore

    the whole site is really an overclocking guide, just takes patience to sit back and read, researching the subject from other people's threads and posts.

    if a person hasn't got the patience to do that, then overclocking isn't for them

    also there is too much to cover, especially with all these motherboards, and as many processors as there are flavours of ice cream in the world.

    id be willing to let XS use some articles im brainstorming on, so long as its understood that they can be used not just at XS

    can you see the light? is it shining too bright? can you see the light at the end of the tunnel, i know i do, i know its true.

    Good luck jjcom. Your AMD one is great. Hopefully, Intel can be defined.

    Could it be possible for a Linux overclocking guide?

    Linux, you overclock via the BIOS normally, I'm not aware of any software that can be used through Linux...you mean something like an Linux install guide...maybe, the newest I have is SuSE 9.0 personal. But SuSE is pretty straigh forward...now dual booting....mmm...theres a topic I might be able to do a touch on.

    Current plan: Work on some type of guide (possiblely) on RAM. Questions on when to do x to RAM when x occures, seem to be poping up.

    I would like to do something like on AMD and Intel...something like a "Current product" thing but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'll look into it this weekend...school can really keep you from doing things

    then I'll let one of you XS news guys know when its ready.

    jjcom
    EDIT: How does it sound if I were to take my AMD guide and try and make some shorter "cheat sheet" things like I did to help out shadowing?
