    New System - Food for thought

    Things have certainly moved on from your 7950X2 days! D.

    New System - Food for thought

    Lol - well lets face it. You'd only get quad-core benefits in Vista anyway! :) Got any benchmarks yet? What do you think of Farcry 2 then? I liked the setting and the atmosphere in the game, but ultimately, I thought it was bland. A bit too repetitive after a while. Think I was on around 20%...

    New System - Food for thought

    Aye. Unless I boot it into Windows XP, when it works fine on DVI. I'm not really that mithered to be fair. I'm still getting a better in-game performance in XP than I do in Vista - as seen by my own eyes and backed up with some 3DMark2006 scores. There are also some obvious slow downs in...

    New System - Food for thought

    You share my pain (and frustration). Apparently 'some' people have managed to get it working by having one monitor on VGA and the other (blank screen) on DVI and tweaking the settings that way. Others have tried different DVI-I and DVI-D cables, again with some success. Essentially, the...

    They sure do. Dual outputs. DVI works a treat when running on XP - yet you get a black screen on desktop with Vista. :S Nobshafts. D.

    PMSL! Quote of the day! Clearly ATi don't think so......... as far as Vista goes anyway. They heart the VGA. Bulbs. :( D.

    If you ever get it setup m8, I'll have to have a few laps of Donny with you. See how a Cup driver fairs against a Full Fat b*****d one. ;) D.

    Internet Explorer 8 - on a standard build?

    Just got it on a few machines here at the moment. Also put it on the Vista partition at home - see how it goes. Personally, I'd hang fire on the full roll-out idea. Maybe give it a motnh or two and then do it? D.

    New System - Food for thought

    Couldn't agree more. The Logitech G25 is a s**t-hot piece of kit and coupled with the likes of GTR2 and GTR Evo, it's superb. Granted, most driving games look a lot better (on most platforms) these days, but in terms of actual driving - they are superb. So much so that the jigsaw is coming out...

    Ram Question

    Looks like 4GB is the maximum on it..... http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P4V88%2B The trouble you've got at the moment is the fact that PC3200 stuff is getting dearer again. Memory throughout its product life cycle follows the classic 'U' shape. Price starts high when launched as...

    Windows Vista Product Key!

    Did it have SP1 on it? It's a common problem - even on full blown retail boxed versions. Opening up brand new Vista laptops at work - they fail to authenticate. Chuck Service Pack 1 on there and retry it? They work fine. I've got retail-boxed Vista Ultimate at home and whenever I reformat my...

    Absolutely gutted - mac damage

    What's wrong with that? That's only a quarter of the cost of Munson's last PC graphics card. D.

    Facing me at the junction of Manchester Road/Roch Valley Way - gave you a flash! Didn't spot your car at first - only as the lights changed. Looked v.shiny and a great example. What wheels are those? D.

    Performance car mag April

    Got PC mag yesterday - and it is a good un! Great article on the RS Clios - clear and concise. The review of the Focus RS however, is just brilliant. Fantastic looking car. I really do hope that Ford do well with it. D.

    What Car Do I Have?

    Addition.... You should have -> s**t loads of swirls marks. You should have -> A car that looks f**king filthy within 5 minutes of having just washed it. Congratulations! - You have a black gold 182! D.

    Pictures of the V6

    Didn't one of the Scottish lot say that Aberdeen has one of the cheapest insurance postcodes in the country? Last I heard was Admiral were offering a multi-car policy on a Veyron and a 599 for £15.62. I thought that was a bit steep myself. D.

    Getting the itch to get a 172/182 - advice?

    You can still get some fussy b*****d insurers out there, though. I got my 182 about 2 weeks before my 30th and I was amazed at the number of insurers who wouldn't touch me until I was 30. You see. When I reached that magical day, all the previous bad driving and mistakes of the previous 13...
