Interview the next Cruncher

**G.Foyle** · 01-19-2009, 02:24 AM

188cm (6'2")

Do you play any collectible card games?

**karl_eller** · 01-19-2009, 02:28 AM

I used to play Magic: The Gathering.

How much difference in PPD would you get between Harpertowns at 2.66 GHz and 3.0 GHz? And are the 3.0 GHz chips worth it, since they're about double the price of the 2.66 GHz chips (at least here in Oz)?

Eller

**Duh** · 01-19-2009, 01:57 PM

Id buy the 2.66 ghz ones (i aint got any solid backup of my opinion).

how many times a day do you think about getting more computer hardware?

**Angmaar** · 01-19-2009, 02:12 PM

Too many times a day. Its an addiction.

Do you like getting the gold medals in WCG? (I just got my first gold for HCC

)

It gets kinda boring after 6. I'd like to see some more like platinum and diamond.

Do you think getting the new Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB 2.5" drive is worth the 130 euros? My current laptop HDD seems to be dieing and I really want a big, fast drive.

No. it is not worth it as most lappy hdd's have the os integrated with them. As they don't send out a windows CD.

If you could be any computer part which would it be and why?

**inCore** · 01-19-2009, 03:07 PM

I'd be the memory. I get replaced the least often out of the "proper" components and I wouldn't be overloaded with crap like an HDD.

Should women be outlawed? How about sometimes? At least some of them?

**G.Foyle** · 01-19-2009, 03:57 PM

No, women are fine the way they are.

Should stupidity and unwillingness to learn be outlawed?

**inCore** · 01-19-2009, 04:00 PM

Definitely.

Could it be that my question and your question have something to do with each other?

**Bobsama** · 01-19-2009, 04:17 PM

I don't know.

Will the Athlon X2 4200 and my Radeon HD 3850 256MB be a good upgrade for my sister?

**[XC] mysticmerlin** · 01-19-2009, 04:30 PM

Sure.

What is she running now?

**Bobsama** · 01-19-2009, 04:48 PM

Athlon 64 ___ (no clue

), onboard GeForce 6200SE (or something shoddy like that), 2GB DDR2 800.

**karl_eller** · 01-19-2009, 05:39 PM

Yeah, that'll be an upgrade for her.

Anyone else excited about the Q7500? 2.5 Ghz, 800 FSB, 2 Mb Cache, US$150-ish. Should clock fairly well

Eller

**Bobsama** · 01-19-2009, 05:45 PM

Too expensive still.

Will I sell this Encore 8-port 10/100 switch? And, is a Radeon HD 4850 for $135-$15 MIR worth it?

**inCore** · 01-20-2009, 02:09 AM

Not sure about the switch, if somebody needs one then they'll buy it, if nobody does, nobody will. And about the 4850, that's around half of what you pay here in Switzerland, that's a good price.

Will I enjoy my law exam tomorrow or will I come out screaming?

**Bobsama** · 01-20-2009, 06:19 AM

A combination of both. You'll be screaming during the exam and come out enjoying the fact that it's over.

Why do you want to upgrade your E8400?

**G.Foyle** · 01-20-2009, 06:47 AM

I don't have E8400. Dual core

Should Bobsama bench more to push his Hwboints higher?

**s0lid** · 01-20-2009, 06:57 AM

Yupp such a shame to our little community

HD4350 + vmods + R290 SingleStage = Victory in hwbot?

**inCore** · 01-20-2009, 07:31 AM

Probably. The world is happy giving you those points.

And Bobsama, I want to upgrade my E8400 because it refuses to overclock properly, I want more cores to crunch with, and I'm bored.

Isn't rain awesome when you're inside and know that you don't have to go outside?

Yep, good excuse to stay inside front of yer computer

U've ever visited our IRC channel #xs.wcg @ quakenet?

**inCore** · 01-20-2009, 07:49 AM

All the time.

I'd like to make an announcement: THIS IS MY 1,000th POST. Thanks for being around for the first 1,000, I hope you'll all be around for the next 1,000! I can finally take it easy now, I've posted too much today.

Have you noticed that there are never any sales for Red Bull? It's always three times as expensive as the cheap stuff, and still everybody buys it.

**s0lid** · 01-20-2009, 07:52 AM

Well I don't personally like Red Bull, ED and Battery are little better but best is the Euro Shoppers Energy Drink

Costs only 1€ for 500ml can

Do you think you're addicted to XS and our forum section (i'm

)

It's a part of my daily rituals, so I guess I am.

Have you got any of your computers insured?

**Bobsama** · 01-20-2009, 08:39 AM

I'm getting *three* pieces of hardware this week. Maybe you'll see my HWBot go up a bit. 8800GT-256, perhaps HD4850-512, and 4GB DDR2 800 CL4. Maybe there are a few more points in there...

My only PC insurance is being able to tear it apart and sell stuff, to replace it all. So no, no real insurance.

Should I install Vista 32-bit, in addition to my current Vista 64-bit and 7 64-bit installs?

**G.Foyle** · 01-20-2009, 09:12 AM

No. 32bit

How long have you been up today?
