IDIOT OVER HERE!!!!

???Okay I'm going to ask a very stupid question, but then again all wise men were fools at some point so help get there??So here we go......(gulp)....Can someone explain to me what a mod is?I've heard of Warcraft mods but didn't know what they were?

A mod is short for a modification; it's when a person takes a product and alters it. It can be a NDS or a game. For example; this game Urban Terror is a mod of Quake 3; it alters the graphics and gameplay but still uses originally assets of the game; most often code.It could also be modding a Wii to be portable.

another key point; mods are virtually always made by third parties. A computer mod is doing something physical to your computer to make it different; like adding lights or painting it.

so then if i just added a hybrid....light dropper and coolor dirrectly into my computers main board then does that mean i just modded my computer? :P

by definition, yes; although most modders would not consider that alone to be worthy of the title.

www.wikipedia.com for all your dumb, inside questions! ;D

Guess so, because there are dumb people writing the articles :P

?????

just overclock your cpu and post a video of it catching fire and burning your shed down - then you can be called a modder ;)anyway, i have a question - will i see a noticable performance difference if i buy 2 1GB DDR2 ram running at 800 mhz as opposed to the same thing running at 533 mhz?

yes, I would expect so.
