Yeah, lol at all the mechanical 'tards in here. It took me 25 minutes to take my old handsfree kit out of the Clio, and that was a dash out/in job. Only took me 45 minutes to take the headlight and petrol tank off my bike, fit HIDs, secure the ballast and solenoid control, and refit the...

Starting another thread to continue a discussion already open FTL.

You have to get laptop drivers from OEMs. It's a bit of a ballache, and one the industry is trying to work out how to break from, but unfortunately it's not that simple as it's not as simple as desktops, as most desktop cards run the reference designs with only a few deviations.

The most obvious one to me is to install XP SP3 - that'll install UAA support: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835221 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Audio_Architecture

It's one that takes a couple of hours to get into, but once you suss it it's really addictive :)

If you read the link, no. There are plans to, but no timescale has been set as yet.

Will be a tight squeeze, but yeah - that's what my new rig will be using. Best of luck with it - touch wood I've never had a WC system go wrong (other than the failed pump, which was bizarre as I dismantled the loop to add the GPU back in - pump was working when I took the loop apart, wasn't...

Nae bad cooling kit. Only thing is it seems you've got 8/10mm compression - I just had to redo my cooling loop (pump died, so whilst it was in bits I changed the hose and fluid) and if that's the really flexible stuff (Alphacool branded when it arrived) it was much thicker than any 8/10mm I've...

There's a lot better out there, but depending what you do with it it's still a very capable bit of kit.

I'm in the middle of C&C: RA3 at the moment and I can't say I'm bored of it particularly... Got the expansion to do after this.

So, 763,000 less pixels to draw than 1080p, and 453,000 less pixels to draw than the OP's. Or to put it in more obvious numbers, 35% more to draw, texturise and put any filtering on than your panel compared to the lesser of the two! So that's a fair comparison...

You'll want to be going to the *800 GT series, or if you can stretch to a GTX then you'll be laughing. ATI's side of the fence, the 4850 should just about cut it with 2xAA, again stretching to the 4870 and you're well away...

At what resolution though? It's not about the size, it's about the resolution. My 27" screen is guaranteed to have higher resolution than your 50" screen - I'd even be inclined to say if your 8600 can run it then it's an old 1024x768 panel.

Can't you read, it says up if you're a 'real' driver you don't need it. BS IMO, I'd rather it was there to catch me if I fell. If you were a world class tightrope walker, and were crossing the grand canyon, I'm guessing you'd still like the net underneath you just in case? It's not always a...

My only query is why spend all that money on a CPU that barely gets touched by games when you could have bought the next one down AND another GTX295 for the same money? I'd have been doing this, but they've only just released a motherboard that interests me... The P6T6 WS Revolution. Trouble...

My big question is how do any of you guys know that that card will run it fine when you don't know what screen is being used? I've got two 9800GTs SLI and playing those games on very high with any AA it starts to struggle...

GTI has two modes, off for twatting about and off for making a mess of your tyres... Works quite well actually, off for making a mess of your tyres and it'll wheelspin round corners at 40-50mph. (I'd booked it in to get tyres done based on her using it to get to work and back every day. And...

Utter b****cks. I never cease to be amazed at all the 'real' drivers that frequent this forum who are god's gift behind a wheel. Stick them in a Formula 1 car, they'd s**t bricks. Sat next to Loeb in the Finnish rally, they'd be crying for mummy. But they're still self-proclaimed 'real' drivers.

Mine came back on when I got to 20mph or thereabouts. 2005 182...

And argumentative. Turn it off, it comes back on. Turn it off again, it comes back on again. At least with the GTI, you can hold it down to tell it to get to f**k. My old S2 didn't have TC on, that was 300bhp and you had to be a tool to crash that. So I'd say you don't 'need' traction...

Steer clear of Safeboot/McAfee Endpoint Encryption if at all possible. Had a load of issues with it on our machines and all McAfee will say is 'it must be one of the other pieces of software on the machine conflicting, contact them'.

What he also appears to miss is that half of the crashes are 4WD WRC cars!

I suppose this guy thinks they won WWII for us as well...

Never seen Excel 2008. :s

Arse of deployment. Cheapy godaddy job. Win.

The minimum that you require. If you need EV, get EV, if you just need a cert to stick on a secure web site, get the cheapy. What you using it for? Oh, and GoDaddy is great because it's all actually in Internet Explorer already!

Ah, you have a Vodafone one. Debrand it. That fixes most of it.

Had one for 6 months, was a brilliant bit of kit let down by a couple of minor niggles - but TBH I can't think of a phone that doesn't have any!

What he said. Godaddy is the way forward. It's only a matter of time before Verisign realise why nobody's buying their certs. They're not the only company in the world that can do 'proper' certs - even EV certs - yet they charge like they are. Fools TBH.

Figured it was mightily obvious, but I've never messed with anything to that level so hey. Worth a shot!
