athlon xp 2800 - Ghz? Thanks!
Thanks, Carlos!
After a little bit of a deviation, we have a final answer. On the "crack" crack, let me just say that when I first read that post, I tho't, ....."YES!" Go figure.... ;~D May I further say that the person who was offended by that comment....well, maybe they SHOULD be on crack! (Or valium). Okay, nuff said on that topic. Thanks all for your input!

He insistes that his previous CPU said "2.75 or 2.8Ghz" in the POST when he booted his PC but the specs on the one I ordered says it's a 2.08Ghz CPU. Are there different speeds of the same Athlon XP 2800 CPU? [I have NO experience with AMD.] Can this CPU be overclocked? How high is the "usual/average" SAFE freq? [He has an eMachine]. Thanks!

Wrong! as usual... that is a word referring to a female dog, used in the breeding of dogs.....but RUDE when used in reference to a person. Which is exactly the usage you were referring to, unless you're one of those freaks with an abberant interest in animals...? Nice use of 'big' words,,, if your going to use them, put them in some kind of coherent order. Try learning the language before using it next time. Your lack of education is not my problem. Heh, regardless of your wiggling, the word is not profanity. Please continue to spew, it puts you in a category with a rare few. The rare few who understand the english language: a group you are STILL apparently not a member of, despite my repeatedly encouraging you to drag yourself from the pool of lazy ignorance you wallow in through the day. Profanity is language that is abusive or offensive. The definition of Bitch you were referring to falls into that category. So, once again, I've made you my bitch, Bitch. -- spammage trappage: remove the underscores to reply I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.

And there in lies the problem, its not funny, or entertaining. The
'problem' is.... people say whatever they like to someone else and have the impression that nobody cares. I suggest you 'chill out ' as any adult knows, the words you use, gives insight to your upbringing and intelligence.(if you even care. as most young folks today could care less) Just because 'crack' is a 'commonly' used drug where your from , some folks haven't a clue as to what it is. Try a little respect, it goes a long way. Umm...it's a commonly used phrase used to say someone doesn't know what they're talking about. It's not meant to get a laugh or entertain. It's just everyday slang jargon used by millions. You've never heard anyone tell you or someone else "you're on crack..."? I'm almost 37, have a college education, was formerly a beginning computer programmer, before the dot-com crash and my subsequent layoff, and am not ignorant by any degree or young enough that I have this slacker attitude as you suggest. I'm not even in the same ballpark as the person you've obviously imagined me as being. As far as crack, if you don't know what it is, since it's all over the television, then you've been hiding in a cave. And, wakeup...crack's used everywhere, in every major city. Again, it's a commonly used phrase that no one I've ever met has ever been offended by until now. You people sound like a bunch of sensitive sissies. Suck it up and get over it! (pssst: now I am being offensive...) Cry all you want, I will NOT apologize for using a commonly used phrase that gets used daily by people from all walks of life. Go on with your life, people. Life's too short to get upset over nothing. |

Percentage of people who use that phrase = .?% You've never heard anyone tell you or someone else "you're on crack..."? never used the stuff.

I'm not even in the same ballpark as the person you've obviously imagined me as being. "I'm unemployed and middle-aged" would've been sufficient descriptive though how that's supposed to make a difference is beyond me. And I could be wrong, but isn't that a little too old to have used/be using crack ? As far as crack, if you don't know what it is, since it's all over the television, then you've been hiding in a cave. And, wakeup...crack's used everywhere, in every major city. ? See above "Population Percentage" comment. Again, it's a commonly used phrase that no one I've ever met has ever been offended by until now. You people sound like a bunch of sensitive sissies. Suck it up and get over it! (pssst: now I am being offensive...) figures; I don't find that phrase offensive; inappropriate perhaps, but not offensive. rpl |

It's just everyday slang jargon used by millions. You've never heard anyone tell you or someone else "you're on crack..."? NO....its degrading and a reference to doing dope...do you do crack? so that you could Identify someone whos on it? Common to who?, just because you live somewhere where crack is used commonly doesn't mean everybody does. College?....talk with some intelligence then. I obviously have much more respect for my folks and proud in the fact that I am street drug free. BTW I live in Los Angeles, I know all about it, yet for some strange reason, I don't infer that people I talk to, nor there folks, are on it. Again, just because you have heard it said numerous times doesn't make it ok. I hear the 'n' word all the time, I don't use that either. I'm almost 37, have a college education, was formerly a beginning computer programmer, before the dot-com crash and my subsequent layoff, and am not ignorant by any degree or young enough that I have this slacker attitude as you suggest. I'm not even in the same ballpark as the person you've obviously imagined me as being. Hmmm let me see....nope don't give a damn, your mouth says different. As far as crack, if you don't know what it is, since it's all over the television, then you've been hiding in a cave. And, wakeup...crack's used everywhere, in every major city. BULLCRAP....sad that you promote the use. You watch too much TV news. Again, it's a commonly used phrase that no one I've ever met has ever been offended by until now.

I wouldn't expect someone like you to appologize, and your wrong...lets ask grandma shall we, whats that ? oh it wasn't around then....... Go on with your life, people. Life's too short to get upset over nothing. Yeah its all 'nothing', the typical apathy that DOES Exist everywhere. |
