Thank you Tomshardware Forums!

Guys!

For the past 6 months, I have been working, saving up for travelling, all alone in my little town, while all my mates are in their last year of uni. Anyhow, this has been very damaging on my social life. I leave for Oz for 4 months tommorrow, and I just wanted to say "thank you very much" for providing me with a social outlet in these dark times, I have enjoyed all my arguements about E6300 vs E4300 and Tuniq Tower 120 vs Zalman 9700 etc etc. I WILL return, and I look forward to maybe finding out how the R600 stacks up....

Enjoy your holiday DownUnder dude. 8)

Cheers guys! When I return I will resurect this thread and get you to tell me everything I have missed over the last 4 months!

Have Fun in OZ man, I loved my time, and can't wait to go back (next time during ski season!).

Lotsa natural beauty there;











oh yeah and most importantly;



You can always keep in touch in the CyberCafe, as if you'll have time.

BTW, don't pass up the chance to drive on the windy Great Ocean Rd or pretty much any coastal road in Tasmania. Awesome fun!

Anywhoo, Have a GREAT Trip Dude!!


Edit: Ooops double picture! D'oh! Fixed.

Yeah it the Beaches and the B1tches!

PM BomberBill for some crazy parties with strippers, hookers and experiments with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment

LOL, seriously, he's a solid cat who's all about the great land down under as well as it's assets.

Sounds like a cool cat, too bad didn't know to look him up.

Loved the country, and pretty sure Parge will find one of a bazillion locals who are wicked friendly and love life. At least that was my experience. 8)

The Athlon XP's could be unlocked with a pencil (graphite)...ahhh, those were the days.

Hope you have a great trip! Last trip I went on (physically, that is 8) ) I ended up moving. Hope you find the grass is greener, or perhaps just appreciate it more.

well, at least the windsor cores can, a lot of amd's first duallies had trouble with ocing compared to their single core, but I can (well could, I'm having problems right now) get my x2 4000 to 3ghz (1ghz oc) or 305 ht, but I think I got a nice stepping, plus I have an amazing mobo

Right now I can't get my oc stable at all anymore, it always restarts after usually 3 minutes of operation. And I sometimes get random restarts even when I'm not doing anything with my pc at stock. I think what I have to do is reformat my hdd and do a clean install (something I've been meaning to do for weeks now) and update my bios, that should allow me to get my problems fixed, otherwise, it's time to rma

as far as I know, that's it, my mobo temps are constantly in the upper 20's, lower 30's

Have a blast, and be carefull.

Don't let these things steer you away from us man....God Luck in everything that you do (except for crimes)

You are in rare form tonight

Must be the pain in your leg is getting to you

Of course he'll enjoy himself, best county in the World
I'm not biased at all.

Wanted to go to Australia with my girlfriend for our 5th year anniversary sort of deal, instead we are driving 6 hours to Chicago and going to some museum's and basically having a lot of fun hotel-room-with-jacuzzi time. Apparently they are charging money to go to Australia? Chicago was cheaper.

I think Smeagol/Gollum is wearing the same glasses as the smiley in martyjs' avatar.

I bet you wish you were me and had taken a class called "Lord of the Rings: Real Life Issues in Fantasy Literature"
