MetalX help

I'm only a few years older than MetalX, and I'm not even at my first year of dealing with computers....:grinthumb ! You'd be surprised what you can learn if you are really interested in something. In a year, I have gone from not knowing the difference of a Celeron and Pentium Processor to building my own computer, overclocking cpu and video card, telling fps w/o counter, (trying...damn lasers cut ) to open up the extra pp's and vs's in my vid card (would have worked on another card), and giving advice and help all at the same time. Also knowing not to buy brand name computers :haha: !

yeah I learned what I know in about a year, and I put my own system together

Yea, I opened my first system at 12, and built my first system at 13.

Well what I actually did was buy a new system, but the store didn't have any in stock, so they sent me all the parts (or as close to them as they could find) for me to build myself.

It was a P4 2.26GHz, 512 RAM, Intel Mobo, Integrated graphics, 40GB IDE hard drive.

yeah you came a long way in a short period of time. I have as well. Guess you just got a 10 year jump on me, lol

Lol, indeed.

100% true, well stated. I'm ~13.5, I guess almost 14 (I go around telling people I'm 14...). Open first system... probably at 10... Got into programming at 11, still programming, and just built my rig this summer. Pretty awesome - if I had the money I would keep on building, but I don't =(...

BTW, I haven't posted for a long time here...

Yeah, I'm 14 as well. I must have been 11 when my cousin showed me some Visual Basic 6 for the first time. This was so cool: you press a button, and of all things, a window opened! I don't know how old I was when I opened up my old Windows 95 system, maybe 10 or 11.

Easier to learn stuff when you're younger. Imagine your grandparents trying to do some programming....

Building rigs is probably the simplest part of computing, all you need to know is whats good and whats not. Programming however, is a whole different story IMO. My interests don't lie there tho.... I just want to build the best rig and play games

It's the same with languages...and basically anything...especially languages and computers. I got my first computer at age 11 ...and then became interested in computers at about age 14...started officially at age 15, and now at age 16, I have learned what would probably take an older person 3 years to learn in under a year :grinthumb .
