[edit] Overclocking AND UNDERCLOCKING?
I noticed that there was nothing about Underclocking in the Overclocking section - not everybody wants to overclock, as some of you should know. I think it would be appropiate to add some stuff about underclocking (which, if I'm correct, is basically overclocking with a few different steps in - nevertheless, someone might get confused, etc.)
Also, if we do decide to put more information about underclocking a CPU in the same section as Overclocking, should we change the title of that section to "Overclocking/Underclocking"? --Aurora98 (talk) 03:00, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] About the merge
Ok, but why the book main page threatens with merge suggestion message? --Derbeth talk 16:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- The Computer Hardware book may have a bit more to offer than the How To Assemble A Desktop PC for computer harware but How To Assemble A Desktop PC is better overall. The merger is to move Computer Hardware into this book and not the other way round. Klingoncowboy4 19:05, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- It makes no sense to merge this article with computer hardware. The two subjects are completely different. Building a desktop computer deals with only internal hardware, not external hardware. It would cause confusion to put a subject completely about internal hardware and assembly into an article that deals with both internal and external hardware.
- I don't think that they should put computer hardware into this because it is not really about learning all about hardware, it is about learning how to build a computer and it might get you off track and thinking about something else. Studyfreak101
- The merge proposal is from August 2006, nearly coming on 3 years ago now. If hasn't happened yet I think its safe to say it isn't going to happen now. Besides it makes zero sense, there scopes and audiences are entirely different. I'm going to remove the merger tags now. --darklama 22:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyrights
Should we ask Mark Headrick for permission to copy his pictures and instructions ? Mark Headrick http://www.abbeyclock.com/computer.html
- I'm not sure what contry he is in, but in America, anything is copyrighted once it is made. So we must ask him if we want to use it.
- Those pictures would make a nice addition to this guide, so I don't see why it would hurt to ask him. Howerver, when I make a computer this summer, I plan on talking plenty of pictures. Reub2000 06:28, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
