| 2008-07-17 | Ali | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | AMD vs Intel is a very hot topic in the hardware industry nowadays. I have seen on many places that AMD processors are better for gaming and I was considering buying one when I recently upgraded my PC but one major problem stopped me. Many of my fiends, in search of high performance for low price, bought AMD Opteron triple core processors, they work great, the only problem is that they over-heat after running continuously for anymore than 6 hours. The room temperature here in Pakistan in usually 30-35 degrees Celsius (around 90 degrees Farenheit) for most of the year and this seems to be exceeding AMD processors operational limits. My Intel Core 2 Duo on the other hand, has been running almost 24/7 since when I brought it without any disturbance. Other than that, AMD processors here only re-sell for half as much as Intel processors and the number of motherboards in the market that support AMD processors is also extremely limited. Having said that, I believe this has more to do with my unusual surroundings than with other factors. |
| 2008-07-16 | john | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | great info and help but response time has great flaws, |
| 2008-07-15 | Geoff | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Interesting answer. You seem to be sure it's the monitor which is at fault. I'll double-check this. And no, the PC was not affected by the fire as the fire was rather small and only affected one corner of the room. |

| 2007-09-09 | Landon | 8 | 7 | 10 | 8 | No | DaZ - The link you sent was dead. You know that's pretty funny because I'm wondering myself if the guy who gave it to me to fix did steal it or buy it stolen! I'm afraid to call IBM and give them the serial # to ask for support. I'm practicing the "Don't ask, don't tell" method with this dude. Thanks, Landon |

Expertise
I can assist you with common problems and over-looks when assembling your pc. I can also assist with basic and advanced OS errors (XP & XP Pro Corporate are my specialty). My main weakness is Mac, and any other non-windows based operating systems. I'm also really rusty on anything prior to 98SE. I can offer advice on a range of software, codec, and driver needs. If you need help finding the right software for a job chances are I can point you toward it.
Experience
18 years total experience. About 2 years of that is from formal training in a classroom setting, the rest is through my own trial and error and of course from the very helpful tutorials found on the internet.
