Hi kelvyn, We've got a 182 and a Mk2 V6. To be honest they are like chalk and cheese in comparison. The V6 would blitz a standard 182 in a straight line, but show it some bends and the margin certainly closes up. Put the Vee up against a 172 Cup or a 182 Trophy and arguably, that margin will...

As Fred says - if its around a tenner, I'll just buy one from there, methinks. D.

Have Reno issued any statements regarding the replacement Vee? Assmuning they are making one, of course? ^^^ - good attempt there Chris, btw! D.

Would make a superb track-biatch! :) A bit girly and waaaaaay over-priced from new, but I can see the appeal. D.

For the money, you can't beat AM2 at the moment. If you've got sh1tloads of money, then the Intel route is more powerful. Still, I haven't owned an Intel system since my P133 system years ago. AMD all the way.... ;) D.

Who's Gemma, Gareth? Or shouldn't we ask? :rasp: D.

Snap, sir. D.

You don't need one for the default benchtest. It times out after about 5 seconds. D.

Hi miltage - what type of daily drive do you do? I do around 35 miles round trip a day (to & from work) and most of that's on motorway. It currently sits on 35.2mpg and that doesn't budge much. Usually a full tank will last me a week. Good to see a veteran of CS return! D.

Currently on 6,070 with stock settings on my 7900GTX. I was playing about with ATi Tool and managed to ramp up both the gfx core and the memory a fair amount before artifacts started appearing. The temps started heading towards 60 degrees and I just rolled them back to the stock settings. I...

Fair play to him, best of luck with the sale, I say. I just hope that majorly scuffed wheel didn't take a wallop at the same time.... D.

Had one of our work's domain names registered with them. They were fine for years until we wanted to move it. You'd have more luck stealing the Qu'ran off a suicide bomber than get them to hand the domain name over. Got it sorted eventually, but it was hardly a smooth process. D.

Gareth - just an obvious question. Have you made sure that the Meggy will fit in there?? It's a tad larger than a Clio. ;) D.

LMFAO!!! Motoring genius. What a quality clip! (was the camera car a Scooby? Looked/sounded like one) D.

Andy - if you're like me, it gets no easier. I've been trying for a couple of weeks and I'm still turd at at... ;) D.

wozzaa - switched to 64-bit and it still did the same. :( Messed with a few more options and unticking the 'Hardware 3D' tab makes it work fine. Unfortunately, I bet unticking that box have transferred a fair bit of work back to the CPU instead of letting the X-Fi handle it all. Oh well - I...

That's what I did Rich first off. Never again. The next claying it gets will be with Quick Detailer alone. Mind you, the highly intelligent move from me to clay it in the sunshine, hardly helped. :dapprove: D.

Bit bizarre that. I haven't got EP1, so I don't know that bit that you are at. It actually looks more like a game issue rather than a gfx one to me. As if the scenery hasn't updated into cache at that point in the game. As Roy says, have you got the latest gfx drivers installed? D.

Ah, sounds like the perfect item to nab for your new PC then! D.

^^^^ - be careful though. I thought the 4000 series was AGP bus only? D.

Hopefully Reno will lop half-a-foot off the suspension for the Trophy version. Almost looks like its going off-road..... ;) D.

Crikey. Someone's rocked the boat..... D.

If you're into doing graphics, I'd suggest to keep an eye out on the nVidia Quadro cards. Unlike the other nVidia cards that are focused on games - these are aimed at CAD and animation work. http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadronvs.html Horrendously expensive from new, but you maybe able to pick...

Fair point Roy. But we handle 190+ PCs here with multiple configs and different requirements on each. It's far easier to start with a clean slate (just the O/S specific to that machine) and then install the specific apps afterwards than to juggle different images files. On top of that - you...

The weird sh1t thing about GTR2 (maybe just the demo though?) is that it doesn't have a default FF profile for the Microsoft Sidewinder wheel. Logitech's mentioned a fair bit, but not the MS device. A bit strange as it was available in both GTR and GTL. D.

That moonlight/midnight (?) blue is the best Vee colour, imo. Isn't there only one of that colour in the UK? D.

Are you able to do a reformat? Personally, I'd never waste hours on an issue like that. A clean (and much faster) XP O/S can be reinstalled in around 45mins flat. Ok, you need to reinstall any of your apps after that, but it really is worth it, imo. I never, ever bother with restore points or...

It's just experience of the 182 itself - which clearly he'll pick up over time. You have to be so right on the gears and revs to make the most of it. I nearly got embarrassed the other day joining the M66 with Tarquin/Clarence/Piers sat on my bumper in his baby-blue MCS. I didn't even see him...

Whoa - just realised. 20,000 miles today - 2,000 posts on the forum today. Spooky!!! ;) D.
