The games themselves are compatibile due to the way SLI works its just no one other than those hardcore benchmarkers who just overclock will find them useful. I personally just wouldnt spend that much i spent a fortune on this comp right now but it was pretty much the best you could get when i...
Id never buy an alienware machine rather do it myself cheaper and you get the exact same things.
But some good scores there.Think i got around 6,000 with a 4400+ and a 7800gtx 512.
Make sure you install the amd drivers.
And if you find you have certain games runnign too fast its usually a screw up with windows not assigning it to a core properly way to get around it is to set compatibility mode to win98. I had to do this for toca3, flatout2 and couple other games or they...
ABS isnt really meant to stop you quicker just supposed to prevent you from skidding thats about it. a non abs car thats hard on the brakes generally just carries on ploughing through something where as the abs car will still give you the ability to turn without the need for cadance braking...
Why i bought mine as i have a surround sound setup made sense over the audigy 2 i had to get one plus i have my student loan at the time and £140 out of the £2000 i had to didnt seem so bad. the rest went on getting shitfaced and some bits for the car.
System is similar to mine overclocked 4400+ 2gb OCZ ram and a 7800gtx 512 i put an XFI fatality card in mine and it was worth it to me over my audigy 2 zs. Games sound and run better cause of the Xram on it so i got a performance increase and also the ability to use ultra quality audio in a few...
Theres a couple differences. Home does not support dual core CPU's properly pro does. and some other bits and pieces like that unless you need the features and you would know if you needed them flog it.
sticking an 8x card in a 4x slot wont make much difference to performance either very little of the 8x bandwidth was used over 4x due to certain other limiting factors in the systems bus.
Ram is not compatible thats DDR2 memory and your still using a 939 pin board you need ddr1 memory for that unless your using the new style AM2 board types which dont really offer any performance gain. And there 940 pin.
Not sure if its worth spending the cash on that graphics card either with...
Depends if you want HDMI. the component cables will give similar quality or a DVI will. All the HDMI port does over it is carry the audio. Most of us with high end stuff probably use external a/v amps and speakers anyway so it renders the HDMI port fairly useless to a lot of people who buy this...
Has a good picture quality the hyundai one but as i said in other post the standard speakers are absolutely garbage i only have them on as it makes the tv look a bit tidier.
I got one of these http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/106962 the picture quality is good only real problem with it i found is the speakers are pretty crap but i had a seperate 5.1 system with floor standers anyway so not like the speakers were a big issue.
But the same TV with a Marantz badge on...
My little 1.2 was a good car for what it was handled well etc. Could not go back to it though and it is a bit gutless when overtaking number of times i get stuck behind a bus on snakes pass and just could not get past as i did not have the power to get up the rather large hills and accelerate...
The 3.2 does beat it in video encoding but thats cause of the HT really. Audio encoding which i do more of the amd is better and also gaming its better but meh i went with dual core anyways as i needed it for work i was doing.
3.2ghz P4 is a fair bit slower than the 3500+ from AMD.
And the other system from overclockers is fine until you see the Vid card which is basically a cut down 6800 with badges on to make it seem worthy of being purchased.
The opterons are a better option when buying server based cpu's over xeons, why? Lower power, Faster, cheaper.
There desktop chips versus the P4 are a superior architecture until the conroe core 2 duo's come out from intel. But AMD's next chip is already in the pipeline AM2 is just trying ot...
Which JL gear was he giving you?
Some of it is rather expensive but does sound very very nice. And the dynamat can add a big whack on the ppice depending on how much is used.
Was the guy installing this as well or were you going to do it? If he is doing it probably charging you a fair whack...
I lived in central Manchester until recently the insurance at that location was a joke i was actually refused by many companies due to the location and because I could not park at my address.
Used to have an 8mbit connection lived on the same road as the local exchange and i got the full amount lowest speeds i recorded were 7.3mbit upload was over 600kb though.
Now live around 5 miles out best speed i can get is 5.3mbit. and 480kb upload.
You could just put a sub in and take it out when you play golf. I take mine out all the time only takes 30 seconds. or get a small one and mount it under the front seat.
I seem to recall the 182 when it first came out was over £16k. Give it a few months and we will see how many people come on saying i got a 197 for £11k.
Made a difference to me being 21 stll didnt have a full 1yrs experiance then either. I was only insured on my clio 8 months before i changed to a C4 but when i turned 21 it knocked a few hundred off my C4 policy which is why i waited a few weeks on it.
See I saw a few people take pics of mine and a friends car yet our cars turned up no where. Ours were the red and yellow Citroen C4 coupes on the Xsara stand.
Would actually like to see a half decent pic of them sometime as I have non.
Fear ran perfectly fine on mine then again i have a rather high end pc. But it ran perfectly at 1600x1200 very little slowdown only when it got stupidly intense at which point i was usually reaching for the slow button to make it slow myself.
