Fr3d – yup, you’re right. It’s old – it appears to be from 2005. Matt found the source. :)

Matt` – I guess human stupidity knows no limits :mrgreen:

Ara – LOL! Seriously, I did not intend for this to disprove your post or anything. I still agree with all that you said there. But I guess common sense is the second variable in the equation here…

Matt – thanks for the link. For some reason it did not occur to me to actually do a google search for the text of the article… Duh!

How difficult is it to grasp that you shouldnt randomly cut pieces off of computer hardware?

It really doesnt take much to realise that if they put it on there, its there for a reason and if you remove it then something bad will happen

That’s pretty old now, and several noobs did it when PCI-E was new.

Still a good laugh though :D
