Guys, I found a really quick and cheap way to increase the performance of my computer. It started as a PIII 866 with 256Mb of RAM. Then I modded it.



I figure each sticker is worth about 1000Mhz and 512Mb of RAM. That would make my computer now a PIII 3866Mhz with 1792Mb of RAM.

Now I'm faster than most Intel Xeons.

C'mon, you laughed. I'm just making sure the computer will fit in when it becomes the garage tuning computer (web surfer, mp3 player. . .)

I installed a wind shield on my home pc so I could get one of those really fast decal upgrades.

Just a heads up for you in-case you may have overlooked that option.

I'm not stupid... I know that you can't afford all the sh** thats under the hoods of those computers from the garage and selling groceries. You've got something extra on the side, and I want in on it too.

Three weeks... race wars... we'll see how you do, then we'll talk.

This is great, the comments are even funnier than my dumb post.

I'd be surprised if the extra 2 gig shot of **** didnt blow the weld on the hard drive. Now me and the mad scientist have to rip apart the tower and replace the memory stick and ecu fan you fried.

**** the spinners...get the lambo cd drive door then get a turbonator so you can spin the disk to 10000rpms to take advantage of your superior top end power!
