A friend of mine was talking about his motherboard and asked if I had ever made any adjustments to the jumpers on the board. Is that possible? Are there jumpers on the board to make it run faster or his board older and newer ones don't have them?

wow, I just heard about dual processors, what is it used for? Is it only when you have upgraded your ram to the max and still arent getting the performance out of your computer you want? It sounds kinda nifty, but expensive :eek:
