Two silver 172s pretty much within seconds of each other, heading up Cavendish Street, opposite Asda.
Then a Monaco 172 at Morrisons in Dukinfield.
Probably around 11-11.30 this morning...

You've definitely got me thinking m8. Just looking at a saving of around £130 going down the i5 route with the following...
Asus Maximus III mobo
i5 655k
G-Skill PC3-16000 4GB kit.
In the real world, am I likely to see much difference in performance? Probably not, I would have thought?
D.
Sure am m8. :)
Is that LGA1156 though, Griff? I was looking at socket LGA1366 mobos. Good call though, I should probably look at i5 setups.
Heheh - when you say 'cheap', just how cheap?! They're circa £800 new aren't they? ;)
Cheers,
D.
Chaps,
Can I have your input on the following three bits that I'm thinking of buying to revamp the core of my PC at home...
Asus Rampage III Extreme mobo
Intel i7 930 CPU @2.8Ghz (8MB)
G-Skill 4GB (2x 2GB kit) PC3-17600 memory
The key part I'm unsure of is the memory. I've never had G-Skill...
Is it that bad? :(
No real excuse for making bad AI these days. They were doing pretty good back in 2005 with F.E.A.R.
Love to see some clips of just how bad it is. The last truly shocking one I played was the original Just Cause. Two guards in watchtowers seperated by about 15ft in games...
Have you checked for any BIOS updates on the netbook? With it having integrated graphics, there maybe a fix for the issue in a BIOS update?
Certainly worth checking first.

Re: 3G ios 4 update, WTF?
Lol. With each passing day, Apple gets more like MSoft. Like fcuk am I giving them any more money for a 4G. My 3GS suits me fine.... :)
D.
So am I. But I guess I could interpret one of my key benefits of the Oblivion GG in particular as cheating.... possibly. ;)
That part comes down to the alchemy and enchantment section of the game. Probably for a lot of players out there, the idea of scouring the land for various ingredients and...
Normally, they are strictly off limits to me. A bit like watching "The Making of 'insert film name here'" before you actually watch the film itself. They can give away hints and tips to the game before you've even took a step in it and maybe even dilute the experience overall, imo.
However, I...
You didn't give me a budget! :rasp:
I'm still using my Antec P180 at home, though the last build I did used an Antec P183. Excellent case that, imo.

I would only downgrade if you were either 110% commited to the step-down. Or, that you had no alternative.
If you tend to stay at your parents, then keep it. If you're intended to save up for a place of your own, then commit to a downgrade - maybe even curb the amount of track days you do...
If I were you (at this moment in time) - I think that would be plenty for your OS Gareth, rather than stumping up the cash for an SSD alternative.
I'm still running 2x 7.2K SATA for my OS! :o

Simple and elegant...... with just a hint of 'yes, I am hard' to it....:cool:

Heheh - I don't do 'annoying' games. Sure, challenging, difficult and sometimes awkward ones are all fine - but 'annoying' ones I stay clear of. Playing a game is meant to be relaxing - not something that makes you want to put your fist through the screen because of it. :)

I thought that within 10secs of watching the YT clip at the start of this thread!
No way on earth would I even bother with something like this - even a PC version. I'd just end destroying the keyboard/mouse/gamepad/whatever in utter frustration with it....:)
D.
Noticed that too. Flicked it out and had a look up at the 'ceiling' of the passenger foot well. Looks like a MUCH easier way to pass the cable through....
D.
Is it just me, or is that one of the weirdest, slightly unnerving YT clips you've seen in a while? :S
A bloke wearing a Mario 'n s**t t-shirt standing face to face with a row of good looking women and instead he's content to meddle with Nintendo's latest offering?
Earth calling moron......

Aas a finishing touch, Scutchio - I'd get a very small block of wood and wrap a piece of coarse sand-paper around it and then go over your RenaultSport lettering and lines underneath. The colour afterwards will not be a million miles from the colour of the KTR sticker on the air filter and I...
Mine does it after a decentish journey length and in hot weather. It never creaks during the winter.
I've often wondered if the LHD version of the RS Clio suffers from the same problem - what with the clutch linkage being much closer to the pedal?
D.
That one is a fecker! Some of my faves include the Radical SR4 252bhp version and the Fiat Abarth from GTL. That thing is brilliant around Brands - you hardly have to back off and attack most corners in a long, drawn out drift. :)
Perhaps the car of the 'big hitters' that I feel most in control...
