Ever find yourself quoting Intel speeds on your AMD?

[JN]

A Computer n00b visits your house and see's your UV'd out rig. First thing he asks is 'What speed is it'.

Do you:

A) Tell him that its an AMD running at 2.xghz, and watch his unimpressed face as he remembers seeing a 3.8ghz system in PC World.

B) Quote the Intel equivelent speed, saying something like 4.xghz and watch the n00b fall to your knees in praise.

C) Deal with it in another way. Specify below.

Yep I tell him that he would need 2 x 4.2GHz intel processors to get near the speed of my CPU

'Faster than you can comprehend noob'

I dont let idiots in my house, much less near my computer.

the last idiot that got near my pc nearly lost a finger in my top extractor fan...

Ham you think you'd know better

 

[Ham]

wasn't me...honest!

It was a mate of ours who's PC was at the 'unfixable' stage.

 

[FalconFX]

actually most of my friends dont care about my PC

Well, only my one friend ever really is allowed to touch my computer, and I've turned him in to a bit of a nerd. Either way, the first time he came over and asked how fast it was I told him I was running it at 2.4 Ghz and he asked about Intel being 3, so I had to explain it to him.

 

[Eguy]

Anyone that stupid is not allowed in my house

 

[FragTek]

I dont have any friends that retarded

 

[JN]

Unfortunatly this was my partners midwife (male), so i didnt really have a choice but to let him in

 

[FarFarAway]

A load of my mates like playing games on their PC's but don't know anything about them. I have to educate them

 

[Raging]

when i get technical everyone just looks at me but yea i jus tell them roughly how much intel they would need to keep up

cheers.

 

[MeltedDuron]

I don't run AMD, but someone asked me "how many megahurtz do you have" and i told them 2.8ghz (my 750 runs at that), and they were like "holy ****!!!!"

 

[Dav0s]

my friends seem to think that how much ram a comp has is a good way of telling how good a computer is, so to sound smart they ask that.

Well i have a crappy 800mhz amd athlon pc with 512mb ram in, does that make it fast

Well i just say my pc runs at 2.8ghz and they say well mine runs at 3ghz and i dont bother explaining and rarther just let them think there pc is better than mine :0wned:

Someone was trying to tell me today that he reckons he could spec a decent PC to match the gaming performance of an XBox 360.....with £200

i dont have any friends

C. Tell him the real clock speed and it rapes the **** out of any Intel out there.
