    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.

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

    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?
