Is this a normal CPU? Here a link to CPU-Z Screen shot.

Why it say a northwood... where that name come?

rofl, u have a way with words wusy

No, absolutly not normal.. There is obviously something wrong with it.. As for the weird black plastic, not normal too... Should be silver.

I'll tell you, never..nerver open your computer case again.. you don't know what else you may discover that will make you to freak out. And don't use that CPU-z again.. Very dangerous..

No, keep on using Kazaa .. we really need some system with full of spyware and popup problems instead of a freaking normal system...

Why would I need to do that???

I'm confused.. if you plan to reply to me. user Pat, then.. ok, but if you wanted to reply to the original poster, then choose the reply button from one of his post and go ahead..

But if you wanted to have fun with me.. well, sorry.. maybe next time ..

Oh and 'Warez P2P', you rock man

I've never heard of the Willamette, how is it, compared to the Prescott?

I was doing that but before removing the power cable, my friend said to stop and i could dit of it are you tricking me?

thats how i test all of my components... the HD needs to be spinning at full rpms so ur sure that its getting a lot of power... but i duno if listening to me is a good idea, since i am a n00b of the forums, maybe u should listen to wusy for now on

Wusy tried to kill him..

Vets save animals, not people...

Ever heard of the Darwin Awards?

did you ever pee on an electric fence?? Try it for fun ..

Sorry Pat, but that is just plain wrong.
Any current below 30 milliamps is barely noticeable.
50 to 75 milliamps is what's called "hold on" current, since this level causes the muscles to lock, usually making the victim hold firmly.
Even at that level, death is rare. It only happens as a result of a heart anomoly.
Most cases of electocution are when there is a high current traveling through a primary organ, causing tissue damage. If you were to apply 600 volts through two points on your tongue, you would probably loose your tongue, but would live, though not to tell about it.
Old electricians used to test lamp sockets by licking their finger, and connecting the live and identified parts. If done right, the socket voltage will cause a current to flow through the saliva, causing it to heat, and allowing a small amount of current to travel along the skin, causing a tingling sensation. Dont try this at home though. If you are well grounded, the path to ground may be through your heart.

Umm... I think I saw someone on TV run 200,000 volts (Guiness world records i think) through their body and not flintch... Had some cool "Lightning" like streams coming out of her fingertips and hair...

put 200000v without any amps, and it is not bad. but let say that the same voltage got 1 mA.. and the power generated would be P=VI, or W=200000x0.001.... or 200w. 200w is enough to cause damage to sensitive tissue.

Now, thake a welding machine. you have 90 amps at the tip of the electrode. Ok, there is no voltage generated, because at this current, a 12v line would put 1080w. How long will you live in a microwave that put out 1000w?

You see, none of them alone is fatal, but it take only one in sufficient number to become hazardous.

It it like a 2 tons car running a 1 MPh. the car's weight is the amp and the speed is the voltage. When you'll feel the 2 tons car hitting you at such low speed, you'll probably have the time to move away and avoid to being crushed by the 2 tons car. Now, take a few once bullet. the small bullet is the amp. the bullet goes at 2000 MPh.. this is the voltage.. you might feel it going inside you. it may leave the major organ intact and you'll survive. But, it ma just silently go thru the heart and kill you. a few once vs a 2 tons car..

Gee, and I thought a Pentium with plastic heatsinks was pretty funny!

First you have to lick it to see how hot it is...

lol

Well, Willy was the first P4 core. It was hot, it had less cache, and it had been pretty hacked from what the engineers wanted, and was the first incarnation to boot, so it left a lot to be desired. Plus it was during Intel's fight against DDR, so often it didn't have the bandwidth it needed.

In a lot of ways actually, Willy was like Scotty. I guess Intel went full circle there. Northy was the only real exception to P4s sucking.

Here's a tip to everyone... just because you don't know about it.. doesnt make it weird or abnormal...

as for the dog.... silly. hehehehehe

I used to bet people 5 bucks in Electronics class I could touch an active jacob's ladder.

I'd make sure i stood on a rubber mat on the floor and only touch one of the contacts..... created a weird buzzing feeling in my finger tip and thats it. got the 5 bucks everytime. they'd think i'd fry myself.

although i did warn them not to do that themselves and NEVER.. EVER.. touch both contactsof a jacobs ladder at the same time..
