Bit of a big one at the recent track-day, apologies if they've been posted before...
This and the next few pics...

Loads of these ex-Cup Racers out and about on winter track-days at the moment, I guess they've all been...
Just ordered it (£18 new) so I will be up for some challenges, no steering wheel here though so I may be struggling!
Is it likely to run nicely on this..?
Athlon 3000XP
2Gb RAM
Radeon X1950 Pro
3 year old rig with new AGP graphics card, GT Legends runs beautifully maxed out so I...
Looked everywhere for this game in Bath today and couldn't find it anywhere, shame it isn't on Steam (RACE is).
Looking online it's sold out on Play and not available on Gameplay. Where else can I try? £29 with "dispatched within 14 days" on Tesco Ent!
Moved to Orange last June and had problems ever since, despite their coverage site showing full network coverage for both my home address and work address I actually get no coverage at all at either (even "Orange" disappears from my phone, no network whatsoever), so I've been stuck with a phone...
About 10 minutes after I posted I rebooted and it's been flying ever since, GT Legends at 1280*1024 with every possible detail maxxed out and it still runs absolutely perfectly...well impressed!
Installed Half-Life 2 as well, NOW I can see what the fuss was all about :)
My X1950 512MB and another 1GB of Crucial RAM went in this evening...
and my PC now runs like treacle!
Can't believe it, doesn't make any sense. Best I can come up with is that my PSU may be struggling with the insanely power-hungry graphics card, but looking at the spec of mine it seems...
Why use TIFF? Seems pretty pointless, it's always better getting the shots due to having the space, than to not get them at all. I've never come across a review of a camera where there has been a noticeable improvement between the highest quality JPEG setting and TIFF.
I've never used TIFF...
So, stripping this back to a personal/home level...
My Sister wants me to build her a PC as cheaply as possible, as I have a conscience I won't just be sticking an illegal copy of XP on it. What are my options? Can I buy the OEM version (available on Amazon, Ebuyer etc for around £55) and use...
Never found Parkers etc remotely reliable for the Renaultsport models. When I was selling my Cup the values were all over the place (usually massively inflated), nothing remotely like what they were actually selling for here and elsewhere.
Autotrader -5% is usually more reliable!
Cheers guys, gone with the X1950 at Novatech and got a new WD Caviar SATA 16MB 250GB Hard Drive at the same time. Going to start fresh with XP install and put the two identical 250GB HDs in RAID configuration.
My next question, RAID0 or 1?! I'm thinking RAID1 for a year or so until I get a...
wow, thanks for all the advice. I didn't realise AGP was still reasonably available, I just keep seeing PCI-E everywhere which is completely new to me (been out of the loop since I upgraded, everything has changed and the numbering formats make absolutely no sense!)
This is calling my name...
I've currently got an Athlon XP3000+, 2GB DD400 RAM and 370GB's worth of Western Digital SATA drive, had all that in my PC since I built it in 2004 and never given it a second thought, everything I use frequently such as Photoshop and various other imaging programs have run very rapidly. I've...
Love it, am I right in thinking that many/most Mk2 Cup racers are actually Phase 1 with updated bodywork?
I'm sure when Renault changed the road car design they just updated the race cars instead of everyone needing to buy new ones.
By the looks of things they were available in White, Black, Red and Blue, so nothing odd about it really.
Is it just the pic or does that front wheel have some serious camber?
Sold mine in October, went after a day on Autotrader iirc, I didn't even get around to advertising it here! Got a shed load of cash on my first viewing, happy days. Being anal about keeping absolutely every document and keeping it in perfect condition paid off brilliantly, I put 25k on it in...
I can't see any reason to doubt that Renault won't get the 197 absolutely brilliantly right, even if it takes a little while.
The Trophy received pretty much identical abuse on here prior to its release, and now look at it. The 197 F1 may not be the next Williams/Trophy, but you can bet that...
DTS is generally regarded as superior, but "better" is often confused with "louder", DTS output is often a little louder than DD which often makes people assume the DTS mix is better. The extra volume from DTS is especially apparent from the rear channels, I always bring the rears down a notch...
psml, got to love those crazy Nintendo loving Japanese...
ALL Format Chart, Japan 1-7th January 2007
1. NDS - Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - Square Enix - 266,827 (860,820) - 2nd week
2. Wii - Wii Sports - Nintendo - 166,011 (732,719) - 6th week
3. Wii - Wii Play - Nintendo - 141,702...
True, although I thought Nintendo were just trying to create a buzz at first with the Wii, but 2 months in and they still can't make them remotely fast enough even for the US...and not only that but they have hardly ever really managed to get a plentiful supply of DS' available worldwide...
It's not news as such, just guess work. But Renault have never forced the Gordini Stripes/F1 Graphics on anyone so I don't know why people assume they would start now.
I think people just want something to moan about ;)
Best to do it right at release imo, as mentioned above sales have slowed significantly in the US already so demand isn't as strong as anticipated. Not sure what that means for Europe but I'm guessing a similar situation.
Appears to have leaked early, my predictions were pretty reasonable...
PS3 to Launch in UK on 23rd March 2007
Over 30 Titles for Launch Period
1 Million units forecast for Initial European Launch Period
London, 24 January 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced that...
Semi-Official Announcement
The stickers will be optional, I can 750% guarentee it. They are nothing to complain about as you will not have to have them if you order one.
A little heads up as I've not seen it mentioned...
The UK launch details of the PS3 will be announced at midnight tonight. Apparently a further delay is no longer expected as sales have slowed significantly in the US etc with plenty of units on shelves in many stores, so expect the following...
Driving through Melksham today and the Dragon 2000 V6 Trophy Rally Car lets the missus pull out in front of it...in her words "it sounds like thunder"! It didn't look entirely at home on the road.
Not sure what the chances of seeing that beast are twice in a matter of months, here is a pic...
