"My mate says..." is the bane of my fricken life. I swear, every guy who comes in here seems to have a "mate" who knows everything about computers. It's a struggle not to just say "Then why doesn't he fix it/build it for you then?"

A small selection of golden statements:

"My mate says....

AMD's are just cheap knock-offs of Intel CPU's"
AMD CPU's will fit in Intel Boards"
You can't play games with AMD chips"
AMD chips won't run windows, only Linux"
AMD Quad cores are only dual core"
ATI cards won't play 3D games"
ATI cards don't work with World of Warcraft"
ATI cards are made by 3DFX"
ATI cards blow up motherboards"
Linux is just a cheap knockoff of Windows"
You can't go online with Linux"
Nvidia cards won't work with AMD chips"
Nvidia cards won't work with Intel chips"
Nvidia cards aren't compatible with Windows 7"
Nvidia cards make your internet faster"
You need XP Pro to play games"

Anyone care to add to the idiocy?
