AMD & ATI FANBOY
MetalheadGautham said:
Talking about non tech friends, I am at a worse situation. I have this friend who is supposed to be a techie, but a n00b one, and with a huge ego. Just because he knew internals of computers long before I did, he refuses to accept that I do know quite a lot more than him. He still thinks DDR2 533MHz ram is mainstream. He thinks all of those compiz fusion pics I showed him are photoshopped, because he can't see them running on my PC (obviously, since my rig is not powerful enough). He gets angry whenever he sees someone disable aero from windows vista and replace it wi+th the wi+ndow+s classic theme, saying that nothing but looks matter. He thinks I am a n00b because I find windows vista hard to use. He is a born pirate, and is actually PROUD of cracking software. He proudly exclaims that he has cracks for software worth several lakhs and he has installed them all. He thinks ripping movies is a hard to do job, much more difficult than my work of creating a custom debian derivative distro, and that ripping is an art and there exist a few people in the world who can rip better than him. He never admits it, but he gets really influenced by movies. Finally, he is really obese has flabs everywhere, and has a very bad language and lacks social etiquette, but is determined to believe that girls find him attractive to look at.

Wow! What you have is the last remaining inhabitant of Planet X43-Alpha.. :lol:
1. Show him some version of Beryl on you rig, that should be enough to convince him of the effects.
2. Ask him to go to a computer store, making him feel that he's there to advise you; and then make him realise that DDR2-533 modules arent available at all. Take him to a store where you will get at the lowest 667 one. Many stores now do not have it, in fact.
3. Let him live with the Looks Matter thing. In fact, I do believe that Looks enhance the Usability alot.
4. You dont find Vista hard to use, do you? You have a lota experience with XP and a UAC disabled Vista will be easier to use IF you pay attention.
5. He may have Maya/3dsMax; you have Blender, why do you care. Show some of your work on Blender to him. And do tell him that you didnt breach anything while making it.
6. Pirates? Oh no, I have no advice for that. Even I do pirate. But I have nothing pirated other than XP for now. :neutral: I do feel guilty though.
7. ASK him to impress a good-girl in class. He'll buy a treadmill next. :p

I know none of these work. Just said cuz I felt that I should. At least you have a techy friend. I dont even have anyone to argue. :(

BTW, lets carry this talk elsewhere. Its getting offtopic..
Here's a thread created by me just a few minutes ago to talk about such uncategorised stuff. :)

Yup! Sure Check 'em out
Sapphire HD4850X2 Tested :D
AMD's official Advert- I won't believe into their adverts as its company's marketing strategy to always show opponent card as weak one, so better wait for official benchmark results.
For people also wondering about Hybrid Crossfires, check this out. :cool: :D
