| 231437 | 2004-04-27 03:34:00 | Whetu,i do understand yours, I don’t agree with it but I can see where your coming from, I didn't need it spelled out at such great length,kthat smacks of arrogance to me,like people speaking slowly and loudly to those they consider stupid. I was going to make the comment earlier that whatever approach is taken that the end goal is the same, to end up with a computer built with quality parts that performs to its potential(stability included). |

| 231438 | 2004-04-27 03:38:00 | > Metla, I'm not going to bother correcting you on your spelling and grammar, but from my personal viewpoint, I cant really accept any credibility for your arguments at all unless you pay attention to the language we have agreed upon: English . Reading through your kiddygamer-scrawl dialect is a painful experience at best . That is the second time in this thread that you have attempted to belittle Metla for his spelling and grammar deficiencies . There would be many less-experienced and information-hungry readers like myself here reading this thread and absorbing all the information being given so please don't spoil a good healthy debate by having the thread locked due to personal insults flying thick and fast . Having less than perfect skills when it comes to spelling and grammar is no reflection whatsoever on the computer experience and ability of many on this forum any more than perfect spelling being a good indication of capability of logical and lateral thought . Metla is not the only experienced and respected forum member with "creative" spelling - in fact you would be insulting the boss of Press F1 himself if you judge creative spellers to be idiots . Trying to belittle them like you have done does not make you appear much wiser than they, it merely displays your intolerance to a good healthy debate . Stick to the rules ( . pcworld . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=40651" target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz) of this forum, Whetu, otherwise you might cause a really good thread to be locked down by the mods for the umpteenth time this week . Now wouldn't that be ironic . ;-) |

I apologise if you took it that way. I can get a bit arrogant at times, but my intention was to explain and clarify, not get out the paper and fingerpaints ;) Had you just shown some acceptance/understanding in the firstplace instead of coming across as blindly arguing it then I would have thought "hey cool bananas, he gets it" and left it at that. Susan, slap on the wrist taken. I wouldnt consider it ironic though, irony is like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife :) |

| 231440 | 2004-04-27 04:40:00 | Well whetu, first paragraph excepted perhaps, I still think you have provided the clearest and most level headed explanation of the choices to be made when planning a system that I have ever read anywhere, not just on PF1 . It stands out as a thoughtful, logical and above all unemotive analysis of the key issues, and I have not seen any rational attempt to repudiate your position . If I were choosing a person to advise me on component selection for a PC to suit my specific needs at this time, I would choose you because there is no "man in white good, man in black bad" element in your explanations and arguments . It would make for an excellent FAQ (cut and pasted into my databank already) because above all, it is timeless . Your advice will be valid for as long as there are PCs as we know them . Well done, and have you got anymore like that? Cheers Billy 8-{) hhh () () () () |

| 231441 | 2004-04-27 05:28:00 | I'm a whole big bag of information.. the problem is I'm quite often too arrogant for my own good.. it doesnt help when my ego is stroked either ;) I might write an article about it though *throws it on the pile of "things to do but procrastinate about" :D |

| 231442 | 2004-04-27 06:53:00 | I can understand where Whetu is coming from. The motherboard is the most important thing in the PC. An unstable motherboard, and a motherboard that doesn't fit the purpose is useless if you have the fastest CPU on the market. You especially don't pick the best CPU you can buy at the cost of spending your remaining funds on a cheap motherboard. On the other hand, you've got me. For my next PC I will want a dual processor system. First I have to decide whether it be Xeon32/64bit? or Opteron 64bit, and then I can decide which motherboard will be best for the job, as there is a good shortage of available motherboards for dual processing systems. Part of my decision to get a dual processor system is that TCPA is on the near horizon and its important to get the best possible gear before they implement it. Can't see myself doing anything worthwhile with a TCPA system. I would hold off on upgrading in the near future anyway. BTX motherboards, cases and PCI-Express are just months off and will be well worth the wait. You're sacrificing major upgradeability in the near future if you buy before then. |
