    Regarding Space surrounding the earth

    I am just curious, kinda dumb question, but lets just say you were flying in a spaceship with your friend, he opened the door and pushed you out. You dont have a spacesuit on. What will happen? Isnt space just a oxygen-less environment? Would you just choke to death? or suffocate?

    Christian and Athiest in the same house!

    I guess it would be the same way for atheism... right? Or maybe any other religion or theory for that matter.
  15. B

    Format or not too?

    i would. When you get a new mobo, you have new drivers and the old drivers and programs on the hard drive could conflict and have problems with the new one. Reformatting also gets rid of virus and spam that you missed thus reformatting could cause a noticeable increase in performance. If you...

    Thanks. Can you guys help me go through to getting 2.7Ghz. It seems as if each time I try to bring up the mhz or multiplier...it crashes. If I overclocked the ram I could get a higher speed right? Or since it is on auto, it wouldnt matter? My hyperthreading is 1000, something else is on...

    (my first overclock!!!!!!!!)

    My bios is 1014. Is that really too high? Does having too much voltage cause the cpu to become unstable? Im a newbie at overclocking. By the way, what is your multiplier at THEMAN? I've run tests on it like Farcry and Prime 95 and its stable right now. But I want to get as high as possible...
  34. B

    (my first overclock!!!!!!!!)

    I want to get higher, but it isnt stable when I bring up the mhz or multiplier just a little. I have the ram on auto right now though. Could overclock the ram and that would probably make it stable. :)
