My psychology teacher said that most people will end up being someone they are not. For example, somebody will think they are a profession football player, even though they never play football before.
My friend went about 5-6 days without sleeping. I don't know how he did it, mines was only about 2-3 days. However, he ended up knocking out for a couple days.
I don't think I'm going to buy a C2Q anymore. The Q8200 can only go down to 7 in the multiplier, so it can't OC well. The Q9300 is a bit out of what I want to pay. I want an Q6600, but that costs more than the Q9300 it seems.
EDIT - Does changing the thermal pad for the RAM on the graphics card reduce temperature?
