    PhysX add-on cards? Gimmick or something good?

    Been about for a bit now and it looks like Asus do one, circa £150 notes. Clearly, the PC game has to support PhysX first, but potentially, I can see the benefit of one. Something that Roy will be buying at some stage, no doubt! ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX#Available_in_Spring_of_2006...

    why buy a 197

    Couldn't agree more. The basic Mk3 Clios look truly awful imo. Now if they made them with the same appearance (and potential power - 205bhp) of the new Clio Cup racers, then I would definitely be interested! My next Reno will either be a 182 Trophy or a Meggy 225. I'd love an F1 Meggy, but...

    It is ok to smile you know!

    Same here. But there's two I pass every day with no hint of acknowledgement - only puzzled looks. So I've given up on them. Anyone else I see, get's a flash (oo-er) and a wave! ;) D.

    MS Vista

    Still running XP-64 - works fine for me.... ;) Can't see much point switching to Vista yet as I'd end up turning off all the Maccy-looking shinyness to it anyway. Yet more system resources simply wasted on eye candy! D.

    Can you get i-Tunes without that turd Quicktime? D.

    Mint Williams - Bury/Rochdale road approx 8am

    Reg started M66 - heading into Bury. I was two cars back and had some dawdling fool in front, so I couldn't see much else. Looked very tidy and clean from the glimpses of the rear that I did manage to see! :approve: Anyone? D.

    nVidia Control Settings

    Ok, I maybe missing something completely obvious, but does the nVidia Control Centre have any gamma, contrast and brightness options for Direct3D apps only? On the ATi Catalyst Centre, there was a Desktop and a D3D option. It worked great, allowing the graphics brightness to be increased upon...

    Paint code or part number for Trophy Wheel paint

    I wouldn't mind a touch-up paint for my anthracite ones. Marked one slightly months ago and it niggles me every time I see it. Maz - change your car description too - it's Arctic, not Artic! ;) D.

    Just pre-ordered GTR2

    BUMHOLES! :quiet: The ETA has been put back until 28th September. Now I remember why I tend not to pre-order anything. They keep your hopes up until a few days before the release date....... and then put it back two weeks! GRRRRRRR! D.

    Ahhhhh..... Life of a 182 owner...

    The 182 makes me smile simply because it's so random in terms of how it goes. Some mornings it's like a grumpy old b*****d that doesn't want to move and then on others, it's like its on 199-octane juice and just sticks to the road like sh1t-to-a-blanket. I love it for that - a great car. :cool: D.

    The best Game intro Movie

    Yep - the MW4 one was good. My favourites are without doubt the Gran Turismo series. Each one has so much attention to detail put into it and the music just matches the screen action perfectly. D.

    Seatbelt beeping noise

    This ain't America. We do actually use seatbelts over here for a reason. Two seconds of 'I can't be arsed' is one hell of an oversight when your face has been rearranged by your windscreen and you're suddenly chewing tarmac. Take it as a polite warning from the rest of us... D.

    Blue mk2 Clio V6 - M61 today - reg - *** VEE

    LOL - that would have been me then! Sorry for not letting on. I didn't think a Meggy driver would let on when there are loads of Clio RS drivers that simply look at you with the 'WTF?' expression on their face when you wave at them. V.nice car there, m8. It was actually Jain that spotted you...

    First Attempt with a PC - 172/182

    Looking great guys! Fancy having a dabble on mine? More practice and all that! ;) Do Cups not have headlight washers? You learn something new every day....! D.

    Battlefield 2 - v1.4 Patch out now

    I wish you could use your unlocks that you'd gained online - on your own co-op server as well. The tick-box is there in the server options, but it won't allow you to select it. Maybe on the conquest maps (I haven't checked that yet), but not on the co-op maps. Pants. :( D.

    Black 172, Blackpool yesterday

    Were there 3 or 4 lads in it? Looked well clean with it's front fogs on? It had black alloys on it, iirc. We spotted that one too! D.

    dont f.k with a truck

    Sh*t m8 - I remember yours being a minter from the RR day up at Padiham last year. Crap always seems to happen to the decent ones. :dapprove: Hope you manage to get things sorted out. You're the third person I've heard of in a year that been hit by an eastern European truck driver. :eek: D.

    Clarkie's 5 Turbo 1

    clarkie - are there any similarities between your Turbo and the Vee? I know there's the obvious improvement in technology over the years, but in terms of the way they both drive? I take it that the Turbo has no power-steering or anything? Does it suffer much lag? D.

    Battlefield 2 - v1.4 Patch out now

    Aye - I noticed that too. If you nab that first flag (playing as the US) quickly, you have a major advantage in terms of spotting the MEC from a distance on the tower block roof. Quite easy to defend it too - from the few goes I've had so far. D.

    Yep - I know Griff - I've had it since Wednesday too. Just thought I'd mention it! :cool: D.

    Battlefield 2 - v1.4 Patch out now

    Not tried it online yet, but it's worth it for the new Road to Jalalabad map, alone. A good, closed-in urban map. Here's the patch contents if you haven't seen them... 1.4 Patch – New content New level: Road to Jalalabad (Conquest 16-32-64, Singleplayer, Co-op) New Server Option: No...

    My new toy as of 07/09/06

    Nice! :D Looks in really, really good condition, that Terry. Were the white dials standard on the Mk1 172s? D.

    Racing Blue 182, avec Stripes - M66 this morning

    I wouldn't bet on it. Did a round trip to Worthing and back and didn't get spotted! D.

    FEAR multiplayer now out for free..

    No Saner - just the download and the CD-key off the link provided by Griff at the start of the thread.... D.

    Decent Gaming Rig

    Going slightly back to the topic with FEAR performance and personal levels of what is deemed 'acceptable' - I often find benchmarking figures to be quite misleading. Take BF2 for arguments sake. I currently run it at 1280x1024 with everything set to maximum and it plays fine. Try it again with...

    Which USB Pen Drive

    Used to have a 1GB Integral, but I've got the 4GB version now - only about fifty quid. You're right on the design though - total crap. Not that things like that bother me much. If I was arsed about the visible lines of a pen drive, I'd own a Mac, not a PC. ;) D.
