Wasn't that a MegaTen game that they're remaking for the 3DS?

Something to do with overworking your CPU. I forget how though  tongue  I took an IT class last year and Computer Science... and Computer Game Design. So I'm a little bit (hehe) of a computer nerd.

Overclocking's when you increase the power given to your CPU to increase performance speed.

Re: Are you a computer geek?

Here's an example of overclocking:

iMovie/WMM
TF2/Portal 2
Scratch
10 tabs open (I have 4 at the most)
5 or more tabs with Flash/Java running

all at the same time.

I got overclocking mixed up with overusing. ^^;

that is like overloading the CPU, not overclocking it.

Re: Are you a computer geek?

I guess so, and accelerating the CPU more than you're supposed to.  The name is sort of self-explanatory.

Re: Are you a computer geek?

Yeah, uh, maybe I shouldn't spend my life on my computer  tongue  But I don't really play games on it, I use it for school and working.

Re: Are you a computer geek?

Overclocking is when you change the processor speed multiplier voltage and can be done in the BIOS of not BIOS-locked computers.

The fastest clocked cpu ever clocks at over 8Ghz and is one of the first AMD processors to make this record and is cooled with liquid nitrogen.

I guess I am  tongue

Re: Are you a computer geek?

Overclocking is (temporarily) increasing your processors speed (by altering the voltage) to beyond what is recommended/set by the manufacturer.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Are you a computer geek?

Overclocking is a way to get extra speed from a CPU or GPU by increasing the core speed (or more specifically on a CPU, increasing the clock multiplier) and/or the voltage going to the core(s).

Even though it seems to be an easy way to get extra power from your computer, it is dangerous. If you are not VERY careful, you can burn out or even blow up your CPU or GPU (whichever one you are overclocking). It is also a bad idea to overclock a laptop, due to the typically poor ventilation.


I am a serious computer geek, yes.  tongue
