i started out of curiousity.. i was in a forum about windows back in 2001 or 2, and a member linked to ocforums. i tried it out, killed some stuff, and went back for more!

what got me hooked was back in socket a days with my nf7-s, and all the modded bioses.. then haveing a heatsink capable of takeing volts! ok , thats a fib, when i broke 1ghz on my 933EB is when i was hooked! i think.. now back to the nf7.. i was hooked when my axp was dominateing my buds 3ghz northwood, in most things.. then came a64! and conroe! and.. i think it was the fact that i didnt have to run what i was sold..

tho i really did hate my first ocing board, wich was a dfi.. i did take a celly 600 to 8 or 900 tho, i cant remember!

i do know that since around 2002 ive spent roughly 10k on hardware.. that kinda chews.. but its been a blast somewhat competeing with someof you guys in other forums, its been fun

btw, reading my post, i think i may have a lil ocd, and add.. ohcrap

Heh heh, this guy right here is the real reason I got started in Benchmarking not just OCing. Same forum back in 01/02 Doing the longhorn thing, started chatting, comparing stuff. It got to be great competition. He has had the upper hand most of the time, until A64. (He was slow to adopt) but when he buys HW he BUYS hw.

Never developed Shawn's sense of style. He spends $300 on a motherboard. I buy 4 $100 motherboards lol

IT has been fun though, and beating him in something is like what you guys feel grabbing top 3 in HWbot I guess. Its what I strive for

Thanks Shawn,

For a world of fun and world of hurt
