Years back, a good review site called SystemCooling went down for good. Bio-Hazard and EVA2000 pointed me to join LR thereafter. I've been here since.

Was googling pentium M overclocking. Man was that a long time ago, and I never did get a pentium M laptop to put the tricks to use

I was taking some technical classes and it was mentioned when we were talking about reliable sources of info on the web.
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

I actually was referred here from The Inquirer, a few times actually.
I've stumbled across this site before looking for reviews on PC hardware but I've only just got round to signing up to the forums
