Also, the amount of people who talk to me about computers and get "memory" mixed up with "hard drive space"...

[portway]

no idea so c

[Korlus]

I think it's D - that an Intel CPU would fit into his AMD motherboard.

I've had people say this to me before. I'm just glad they haven't tried to put their computer together themselves...

[Huge Pear]

i shall go for D

[ancientian]

I'll go with a) He could put DDR3 in his DDR motherboard


Just thinking b) & e) has some truth and could make PC run faster in some situations ... e.g. RAID config & overheating CPU running at lower clock :)

[sibeer]

I'm calling you out Robin, it was E AND the guy wasn't being an idiot. "His mate" is going to help him clock the balls of it ;)

[Spudeh]

c) a bigger monitor would make his games faster

It's seems the most far-fetched and stupid. :P

[Faisal]

The answer was, in fact, A!

He thought that DDR3 was fully compatible with DDR boards... which to a beginner is an understandable mistake I suppose :)

I think I speak for all of us who said hard drives when I say

DOH!
+1 just gone to the out side and shouted tht :)

[Faisal]

I think I speak for all of us who said hard drives when I say

DOH!

Yep +1 lol, I was expecting them to be a real novice and only know things like the Hard Drive, I never expected him to even know what DDR was lol, but ye I guess he was slightly more advanced but not advanced enough.

[Robin]

ok, thanks to faisal, the winning names are in Excel.. stand by.,..

[winstonngo]

funny thing is that i put a thinking it said put in ddr3 ram, didnt even read ddr motherboard

[Speed]

Bah, wrong again!

[Col]

Hmm, prediction for tomorrow:
How long did Aria spend de-icing his car this morning?

[Robin]

From the depths of Excel emerges....


I'm going for: a) He could put DDR3 in his DDR motherboard

Have had people come to me for upgrades who've been told by their mates that this works....

:D

[Robin]

Hmm, prediction for tomorrow:
How long did Aria spend de-icing his car this morning?

Hes not back until next week, so you are going to be stuck with me until Monday/Tuesday at least :D

[clemos]

Well done Tolmandary. :D

[michaelkenward]

The others I just made up
