martymcfly Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 This senior at my school is incredibly rich. His father is in "scrap metal", if you know what I mean. Well, his computer contains an FX-57 (or as he calls it, the 2.8ghz amd) and dual 7800GTXes. He is now giving this computer to a relative and building a "better" one with an X2 and dual 7800GTXes. For the life of me, I cannot convince him that this is NOT an upgrade. He is just so determined to build a new one. He also says he may get an intel quad-core board or something. I just felt like posting this because it is one of those things that irks me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireonice Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 LoL. Don't bother convincing him it's not an upgrade, convince him to give it to you! 572737[/snapback] Thats exactly what i would do . Be like sence thats just going to be sititn around can u give it to me? Be his friend (if not already). Rich friends can come in handy , unless hes just rly rly anyowing and such . And apperently he doesnt know that there is a difference from a gaming computer, server, dual core workstation or w/e u wana call it.... Why dont u try to teach him a little.... that could be an idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 (edited) Buy him an X2 and trade it for the FX-57. If he is as dumb as you say you could probably pass a slow X2 off for a faster one. Overclock it and if its unstable in his machine call it a peice of . and make him feel that much better. Edit* Let him do the upgrade and ask him to compare the 3Dmark 05 scores, when he says the X2 scored better you can catch him in a lie and rub it in his face.

Ste Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I wouldn't even bother talking to someone that dumb. I would just laugh inside at him, See knowing your smarter then most people is good enough for me, unless someone asks me, I don't care.

Muddy Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Money does not always make you smarter! 573113[/snapback] becuase you can start paying people to do stuff for you, and there for you can relax... so if i got rich i would become stupider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Money does not always make you smarter! 573113[/snapback] In fact it does the opposite, being rich shows your stupidity, cause it's when you have the power to do/buy/build everything, that the intelligent result shows...or not There's also a matter of taste but it does not apply here, he wants the best.
