    Cheap V6 insurance? Or does hell freeze over first?

    Goddamit - car insurance is just a friggin' joke. We've just spent the past couple of hours trying to find a relatively cheap insurance quote for Jain on her Vee and are literally going around in circles. Clearly (as has been said a million times before) the age of the driver, the mileage...

    Stuck on Quake 4 - not seeing the wood for the trees!

    Going to switch to Doom 3 myself. Didn't have the hardware before to run it properly. Should be ok, assuming I manage to get it installed (see above!). Like Quake, I'd played and completed all the previous versions of Doom, so I guess it's just natural progression! D.

    NP - glad to have helped. ;) D.

    new cpu

    First off Zack, I'd definitely recommend a reformat. Any major piece of hardware fitted should be followed by a clean format. Irons-out so many issues. There's an updated AMD clock utility that tells you the core speeds on the CPU and also the MUST have utility - the dual core optimiser. Both...

    Side Badges Stolen

    I know how you feel m8. I had the badge nicked off my PGTT twice. I didn't even bother sticking the 3rd badge on. Total scallies. :mad: D.

    Company of Heroes - one for fans of Dawn of War

    Haha! Feck me - it's bloody hard! Either that, or I'm just total sh1t at it! :o :D Even on a 1v1 skimish vs an Easy CPU player - I'm getting totally owned. Each game seems to follow a pattern. I do really well for the first 15mins, then the CPU player just attacks from three directions and I'm...

    a warning to office 2007 beta users

    Use Sophos Enterprise at work - use diddly squat at home. I find it remarkable that on using little other than Windows Firewall on my gaming PC that I never seem to suffer from all the internet and LAN issue than other gamers do. Just me being cynical, but I think the more crap you put on your...

    Quake3

    LOL - not Quake 3 itself. A few of us from work played Quake 3 Team Arena a fair bit, until recently. Good game, good game - as Brucie might say. ;) D.

    Just being lazy - I've nabbed these from their website.... D.

    Company of Heroes - one for fans of Dawn of War

    It doesn't take an Einstein to realise that the same team (Relic & THQ, iirc) who made WH40K Dawn of War, have made Company of Heroes. I've only had a quick go of the tutorials so far, but initial impressions are very good indeed. It's based on a WW2 setting, but the capture of command points...

    Pics of my V6, back from K-Tec

    That exhaust system looks superb. I like the 'exposed' look, rather than hidden away behind mesh. Who's Vee was pictured mounting the railings then?!?!? :eek: D.

    Just pre-ordered GTR2

    Nice! Let us know what Porsches are available in it, m8. Give me something to look forward to! ;) D.

    Play.com pre-ordering Wii

    The Wii will sell in bucket-loads. However, I think it's just too Japanese and 'way out' for us in the West. From all the video clips I've seen of it so far, the only two games that appear to have any appeal would be the baseball one and that sword fighting one with two controllers. The rest...

    Faces of War PC game

    Is it as frustrating as Commandos though? ;) That thing nearly got launched through thew window from me. One pixel too far - every Kraut spots you and it's game over! D.

    Stuck on Quake 4 - not seeing the wood for the trees!

    Cyber - looks like you haven't gone all the way then m8.... ;) Wozzaa - I haven't tried killing the head honcho twice - I kind of ignored him after he came back to life, thinking that I then had to do something different. On a seperate note, have you installed Doom 3 on XP64? The InstallShield...

    Stuck on Quake 4 - not seeing the wood for the trees!

    I think it has something to do with the four pillars though. I'm going to blast the crap out of one of them first and see if it gets destroyed. I can evade the big geezah for ages so I'll literally be ammo-less by the time I finish. D.

    Like you classic games?

    Lets face it - the kids would never be bored, would they?! ;) Hat's off to the guy. It's no different than people having thousands of albums or CDs. You can't listen to them all at once - it just gives you the ability to be choosey. D.

    Awful stickered-up Clio - Cheshire Oaks *PIC*

    What's to bet that the V6 bodykit is on back-order too? :dead: Why couldn't they just leave it alone? D.

    PhysX add-on cards? Gimmick or something good?

    Imagine if they did pull their finger out with these cards though? Imagine the likes of GTR3 or GTR4 having all the suspension travel, inertia, acceleration forces and braking accurately calculated by the card - freeing up the CPU for running the game more efficiently? I think its a great idea...

    nVidia Control Settings

    LOL! :D I've managed to get the view just about right in Q4 - BF2 is another (especially in buildings) that is dark from the default settings. It's just a pain when I go back to the desktop and say, on the internet or something, I then have to faff around with the settings again. On my old 9800...

    PhysX add-on cards? Gimmick or something good?

    I think it's a good indicator of what to expect in the future though. Imagine a core component of say DX12 or something being true, native physics support? Maybe there would be future adaptations of the dual-GPU cards - one purely for gfx and the other for physics? If the game didn't support...
