Spotted at the Shell station (Eagle, in Rochdale) whilst I was in traffic on the other side.... Approx 4.40pm today. D.

Here's an idea Jonesy. Send me the money, I'll buy the card(s) and find out for you. The best one, I get to keep. Sounds fair enough to me ;) D.

McBunny - we've got a dual Xeon Proliant server here (including 8GB mirrored memory) - purely for SQL2000. It doesn't get that stressed out, even though with 15k SCSI disks, it sometimes gets a little bogged down. That's purely for our financial package too. God knows how it would cope with...

Nice :D

I'll download it as well. Personally, TOCA RD 2 was ridiculous with the steering sensitivity - regardless of what you set it to. It just didn't have the same feedback to the wheel compared to the likes of GTR. It also had issues with tweaked ATI gfx settings :( Also, I'm hoping that the...

Sounds right that m8 - the creaking sound on mine did sounder higher up. adtmits - it was Renault Bury m8 - and I know what you're saying!..... :( D.

Maz - I had exactly the same on my '54 plate too. Took it to Reno after it creaked like a biatch on full lock (especially turning left) and they sorted it out as being, and I quote 'a technical fault'. They would give me no details as to the work that had been done, what was involved or...

LOL Clart - good stats :)

Nope - definitely not me. Like Lee said, mine's a '54 plate and rarely that clean this time of year! ;) I've let on to an '05 BG 182 twice in Blackburn and twice the driver has ignored me. Oh well! :) D.

Yep - probably a 6600GT is your best bet. I've got a 9800 Pro myself and it performs ok though - if you can find one cheaper? Slightly off topic - just ran 3DMark 2005 demo on a new PC here. Laughingly stupid choice to have it fitted with a 256MB version of the ATi 9550 in a new PC. WTF?! Was...

How much was the strut-brace Maz? D.

Rainbow Islands was one of the best games imo for the Amiga. I actually thought it played and looked better than the arcade machine that it was based on. Very clever, very addictive and very weird. Classic Taito design ;) D.

I do indeed - collecting donuts while out on the road! ;) D.

Quite a few of us on here seem to suffer from their 182 (and Vee's?) alarm going off at random times. After a crap night's sleep last Thursday with the alarm going off regularly between 1.30am and 5am and a couple of nights after - enough was enough. Even the AA man couldn't disable the alarm...

Phoenix was pure class! :D I remember they had that at the hotel we were at in '81. It was the first time I'd ever been abroad and remember that specifically. I must have spent a fortune on that thing.....! I never did get into those StreetFighter games. I think I missed something special (at...

Hah! I glad someone else has had that done to them, m8! I had that with the GT - I had no idea if they were taking the urine or it had their approval.... D.

In no particular order, I'd say the following battered my pocket-change more than anything... 1942 Nemesis (and Salamander, if I saw it) Knights of the Round TableThese young 'uns these days would laugh at the hey-day products of Taito, Midway and Williams. Their mobiles probably have far...

Personally, I've had no issues with SP2 either at home or work. The only issue we get occasionally is the Windows Firewall can sometimes get a over-zealous with shared access, etc. As for DOS - LOL - bring it back - all is forgiven! When will we ever get an OS on three floppy disks ever...

LOL - Granny's Garden 1 & 2. My m8 had Revs on his BBC - well good at the time and iirc - wasn't that written by Geoff Crammond? None was a patch on the immortal Elite though. I remember thinking my m8 was the luckiest sod alive when he got that.. Many a Saturday afternoon was spent flying...

Caught a glimpse of it on the opposite side of the motorway - stuck in traffic. Would have been approx 8.15am this morning. Anyone? D.

Well done m8 - I know I felt exactly the same when I got mine! :cool: I had to book a day off work though for mine :dapprove: . Take it easy for a while - it will all start to feel familiar come the warmer (and drier) months! D.

..... getting into my car earlier when two dodgy looking lads walked past. I looked over at them and one said to the other "Top f**king Williams, that..." Hmmm. Half a mark I suppose for effort - it is a Clio after all... ;) D.

Like Griff said m8, it all depends on what you want to do with it. The main issue you normally get with servers is their lack of decent graphics and sound support - though your does have AGP x8 which would be useful. The PC2100 memory wouldn't cut-it for gaming - it would be good enough for...

LOL m8. I've been off work today, but that reminds me of when the NAS server went tits-up with 2003 SP1. Just in time for the Monday morning rush. w**k, ain't it?! D.

Clart - just get yourself employed as a beta-tester m8. I've never known anyone have so many issues with patches as you! :clown: BF2 itself - update patches for BF2 - now XP SP2. Somebody somewhere would pay you decent money to f**k up their software and find issues with it... D.

I don't even use AOL CDs as coffee-mug coasters anymore. That's too demeaning to other coasters the world over... Introducing AOL to a PC (especially a PC that is focused on gaming) is the equivalent of washing your car with a Brillo pad and Happy Shopper washing up liquid combination. It has...

You've no idea how much s**t like this winds me up. It's the nerve of them to steal the car in the first place. They clearly weren't opportunists who walked along and thought 'we'll knick that'. They've probably had their eyes on it for a while and watched the times for the house lights to go...

Thumbs up to Evo for rating the Trophy so highly. If it's a more taut and focused version of the 182 I drive, then I can only imagine the driving satisfaction that it gives its driver. As much as I would lop two limbs off to own a Porsche 959, mad power and gazillion BHP mean diddly squat to...

In approximate terms - what increase is this over a stock 3200XP? D.

You can't go wrong with the Microsoft Sidewinder 2 Force Feedback, m8. Unfotunately, I don't think they (sorry, Logitech) make them anymore. There's probably a few popping up on eBay these days? A solid 3-axis FF stick - used it for years and it still works fine. Flying a chopper in Battlefield...
