Oh my! Were shall i start?
#1. When i said that athlon X2's DONT overclock, i probably should have said that they don't overclock
well. The most i could get out of this particular cpu is 250mhz before i have to start raising the voltages like crazy, which is hardly anything. I certainly possess the technical skills to overclock a cpu, in fact my wireless router is overclocked
. Im typing this on a computer with a cpu that is overclocked by 60% (2.4-3.8). I could go on.....

im not trying to be super offensive but this gets me torched when people go giving help when they know NOTHING and you apparently have no idea on the hardware at hand
Know nothing? hardly,
I built the computer. I could name all the hardware in it off the top of my head. "
Im not trying to be super offensive but this gets me torched when people "
jump to conclusions, especially when all the information you have on my personal and technical competence is 3 sentences on an forum.

Im sure youv went and boasted that you can help him out and find out what he needs
Once again jumping to conclusions based on 3 sentences on a forum is generally a bad idea.... I certainly did offer to help him upgrade, he had mentioned to me that he might like a gfx card, so i explained to him his options, and did some research. I Just came to get a second opinion, because while a do know a lot about computers i am far from perfect.

because you are certainly not qualified for much of any help and would only be doing harm to the situation....
Once again, in addition to being blatantly insulting, this is also you jumping to conclusions. Owning 6 custom built computers and enough parts to start up a small tech shop, i am fairly confident in my technical abilities. If i wasn't i wouldn't be giving him advice.

You also haven't listed the other specs for the pc
I didn't because i didn't think they where necessary. I assumed that people would infer that the pc had a capably power supply and since 2 gigs of ram is implied nowadays and has nothing to do with the topic i left it out.
#6
But i seriously doubt your in this to help him out...
Dear god, what kind of altier motive could i possibly have for helping him upgrade his pc? If you honestly doubt im trying to help him, then what do you think im trying to do?
