lol 7.2 ?
autocar tested the megane f1 at 6.01 not even the R26 with its gripy diff.
pace wise most megs are 225-235bhp and 230lbft (1345kg vs v6 1400kg) so the pace should be identical to the v6 on the road perhaps at 120mph the vee pulling ahead slightly.
of course put a map on one and then...
annyoingly large image ;)
m8 you dont always need a HT amp for cinema, when you combine some speakers and DVD/BD player you looking at £1000 all in for decent 5.1/6.1
there are some new all-in-ones that have 3 hdmi, 2x optical, 1xcoax, scart etc.. under £500.
and the whole cost thing in this thread is also beeollox.
the megane is £20,000. its insurance group 17b, its usually 27mpg, its 205 car tax a year which will soon be more, and its got 8" x 18" low profile tyres which are £122 each. some have got there r26 for £16.5k-£17k which in the 'grand'...
yes, isnt this the one where they could have mashed up a pedestrian walker ?
disagree actually takes some balls to do that and the wrx is out of its league (or at least it should be)
ps3 has exellent mp3,atrac decoding cd upsampling etc.. its got 24fp 1080p BD picture and its stunning, its also hdmi and true hd and a games console + movie downloader all in one.. err its put me off buying hd-dvd !
you also get media remote and a really decent set of connections + Digi TV via HDMI so id say about £600 to do yourself and of course it has (FSB1333mhz), vista, and some free software aswell in office !
id say for something you can just pick up from ALDI your paying bang on the money perhaps...
its quiet once you turn off Superfetch to manaul then stopping the service ;)
it is quite a nice little machine, the medion range always get updated though and im sure within a few months there will be an even tighter spec`d machine up in aldi for 1 day only (20 per store)
and as you rightly...
agree, but for not much outlay you can shove a 8800 in the medion and be right there playing the lastest with full AA.
also would say that at this price you would be hard to get the full gaming effect and the media functionality with all the digital TV and media center features, connectivity...
and whats £50 anyways, a pc is upgradeble, its £500 cheaper than most highstreet pc`s with simular spec, sure you could build a monster if you were well into pc modding scene but the fact remains as a starting platform its pretty powerfull and has lots of potencial.
I use the console for...
sigh...
im getting an R26 in mid jan ;)
my point was actually how amazing the R26 is compared with say an Audi S3. the price is half of the audi (alienware) and in most conditions the R26 is as good.
not talking as a gaming machine. purley as a media center for new HD content due to...
agree.
didnt **** xbox360 drive, its not ideal to call a pc low end and yet use a hd-dvd drive as a reference point.
i think you misunderstand the technology, perhaps a £200 HDMi cable will be ok for you when a £2.50 one is the same ;) its all fully digital !
a.) misinterpreted me never...
btw with regard to cheap pc system i suppose if your a proper IT / home computer ned then yes it is, im mr joe blogs with this stuff @ home im fully aware of how s**t hot a £2.5k alienware system is.
lets just get some facts out before i abandon this thread as its been a waste of time helping...
a.) i have 47" screen.
b.) iam fussy about PQ and audio.
c.) i like all in one functionality i.e the remote that comes with a media pc you press buttons everything works, quiet, fast etc..
not sure why some people are getting irate
the original thread was to help anyone who may want a good...
lol true.
the problem is though its a bitstream signal not a file on a computer thats the core difference with the timing information within the square wave, all that means is that it just needs to be PLL on the recieving end so no data is lost via jitter.
hdmi stuff IS suceptable but will...
perhaps with software upgrade it upscales now ?? ive not heard that one though TBH il check it out on AVforums mine in a new model and still does 525i res.
i disagree with it being a great weapon for £100. each to their own but my Xbox360 and my other two mates, and my bro`s all sound like a...
correct.
its what i wanted. blueray,hddvd, Digital terestrial TV video/audio web streaming and some power to run some new games which it has.
the specs for gaming are pretty decent for me but then again im sat typing on a computer wih a 1.5ghz proc and old GeForce Nvidia GFX card. i already...
