Always remember, she can only kill you once!!
very true, but i am sure she would find the most painful way to do it.
so far i havent found an arguement that hold water for her in the need to upgrade my system as she keeps on saying its only 2 years old and does everything we need it to, and my responses on the lines of it might do what you want it to but its still to slow for me doesnt make any difference to her thoughts ggggrrrr, women!Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -
I had the same arguments over a new TV with my other half. You have my sympathy.:wall: Flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality - Am I flogging a dead horse? :wall:

set it up as a media server
then get the biggest and most demanding files you can find
get some judder on screen
hey presto,need a new PC and no arguments 0 -
haha it already runs as a media server and it doesnt struggle so far,
unless i set it up doing some encoding, folding, streaming and gaming all at the same time then it might have a few issues.
although saying this she would probably just tell me to get a new hard drive for my system behind the TV and just move all my media onto that.
actually i wonder if i could push a overclock to make my system unstable, without frying any parts, and say something must be on the way out and that i need some new bits....Drop a brand challenge

I'll be going Socket LGA 1366 for the next build0 -
to be honest i am waiting to see the benchies and price on the bulldozer chips before i make up my mind on my next build, will also be interesting to see what intel do with sandybridge saying the benchies on that are showing that they can have performance close to the 1366 builds but at a much lower costDrop a brand challenge
