Ok, so here's the very short and very happy storey: i bought a new computer, the price was 5 1/2 thousand nok (norwegian money)
the computer was SUPPOSED to have a 3,o ghz processor, but some dimwit, or very nice person in the shop put in the wrong processor, now i have a double- core 6 ghz processor, other parts will be upgraded later.. Yeeeeehaw! :D :D :D :D

Wow, lucky!
I remember a thread from about a year ago where someone bought an LCD monitor, when they opened the box there was a brick and plank of wood inside :P

I think that was Flies, but he might have been telling the story of what happened to someone else. And it involved Best Buy, I remember that much.

When I ordered my computer from DELL. (lol) The delivery guy came and gave us 2 boxes. One was my computer and the other was a diff comp that only had 200 something mhz i think. And It had a dvd burner ='( But my dad found out and took it back.. >:(

I couldve kept it if I wanted too right?

"double- core" = Two processors hooked up together giving you twice the power.

And there are actually a few 6ghz intel processors, but that's after some crazy n3rds overclock them and use liquid nitrogen for cooling.

The dual-core processors still run at the frequency of one processor though. It simply increases the amount of instructions that can be processed in one clock cycle.

Ohkay, I thought it doubled the power, but now I know better.
