Bootup05 · 10-10-2006, 03:55 AM

Impr3ssiv3 · 10-10-2006, 03:55 AM

ADE · 10-10-2006, 03:57 AM

A good place to learn on stuff like computers and components right down to the microscopic detail is this place.

9.

Honestly... I'd say a 1. Compared to some of the experts out there I know nothing, I can do basic stuff by myself but thats it...

Using your skill range and what everyone else is saying I'd say a 6.

Not only just the new members, but just be honest and say what you think you are (10 also = know how a GPU works and how it decodes, creates an image, how it determines a pixel's place within the monitors picture that is displayed, how it is given data and how it processes it etc (not just GPUs though)- basically, it says you know just about how everything in a computer and how everything in it works to the material it is used and why that material is used for it- its kinda like saying if you wanted to you could build you own CPU if you were given the materials needed to make it.

Well thats what I mean... no offence to people here, but very few of us actually know a great deal about low-level hardware and software. As for building my own CPU... well, it's not as simple as that... give me a fab plant and a thousand or so workers and maybe

I would say, slightly above average expierence/knowledge.

ADE · 10-10-2006, 04:20 AM

Yeah, in order to really know how do do that you would need to be in every honors class from junior high-high school so you can qualify for a school that you can take the class (and get a scholarship) and take that class for about 7-8 years....that's do it......

I completly agree with you. But when I saw that his 10 was "give me an answer, and I can figure it out", I think im pretty close to that (8).

Now if were talking 1 being the average person who only knows how to open Word, 5 being Bill Gates, and 10 being the Einstein of computers, I would say i'm around a 3.

It is really hard to answer this question. Compared to some people you would be a 10, and to others a 1. I would say I am about a 2-3. Some kids at my school make praetor look dumb, seriously, these dudes are insane.
