Re: [PLUG] Memory Questions - Advice Needed
|
Are you planing to overclock the AMD? If so, you may find that the 800
actually performs better than the 1066 at the higher voltage.
Wasn't 1066 the year that the English nobility, upset by recent bonus
payments to cronies, forced King John to sign the Magna Carta (most
notable for establishing the writ of habeas corpus, abandoned 950
years by the American president and decider, George Bush, whose
advisors had advised the decider that the writ had grown quaint and
wasn't applicable in the tropics anyway)?
No, I guess that was 1215. 1066 was the year of the Battle of Hastings
where those pesky Normans (don't call me Norm) invaded.
