I ordered BG as at the time, I couldn't justify the extra £1.2k for Petrol Blue. Though I was really tempted! If I was to chuck extra money on the original order back in '04, I would have probably gone for the sat-nav. D.

Lol! Me too. Just a bit of an in-joke and fun at the end of the day. D.

I've got Windows 8 sussed. We're only going to give it to people at the office that we don't like.... Anyone else had the "I'll wait approx 60secs before the pull in menu from the right shows Control Panel as an admin user" yet? Log straight in, pull the side menu in and it's not there...

Turners b****cks have just detonated, then imploded, then burst into flames.... D.

Lol - take it over 0.00000032% from stock and the thing thermo-shutsdown.... ;) D.

As Semtax mentions - a lot will depend on your PSU and what connections are there for it. If you're using the above a lot, I'd recommend picking up a cheap Quadro card off eBay as it will help significantly in any form of rendering. If you use it in addition to your GT640, you can have the...

The Mann vs. Machine levels are a good laugh. :) D.

Again, depends what you're after? Company of Heroes PlanetSide 2 The Witcher 2 : Enhanced Edition (currently £7.49 on Steam) XCOM DiRT3 Defense Grid, etc.... D.

Any resto job that takes the chassis back to the metal with sandblasting and then starts a rebuild - actually gets me moist. Would love the opportunity and the wallet to be able to do something like this. D.

Hopefully it will still connect to a newish TV, ok! :) D.

Yep - definitely going this Saturday - probably arriving early afternoon. Might go to the stage at Preston first and then back to the Blackpool stages? Anyone know if parking for these events is a nightmare? Cheers, D.

Agree - Iron X is a great product. Just a shame it smells on par with the piss of a rancid, alcoholic baboon that has been dead for 6 weeks. At times I get a whiff of the stuff walking past the cupboard that it's in! :dead: D.

The other one I played a lot was Tiger Woods Golf (2009 iirc?) and the Final Fantasy game they brought out was very good too. Hacking the PSP is definitely worth it - and not actually for anything illegal. Get a decent sized memory stick for it and you can transfer several games from the UMD...

That's naughty. ;) Does your employer run fully licensed Microsoft apps? If so, they may have agreed to do the following. Costs them nothing to do and gets the staff Office for a bargain price.... http://www.microsofthup.com/hupus/chooser.aspx?culture=en-US D.

Cheers Andy - great feedback as per usual - and I 'think' I followed what you were saying! :) Royston - chuck the card in m8. This FX580 I've got simply draws it's power from the bus - no external power connections required. Also, the latest nVidia drivers for the GTX460s also provided the...

Thanks m8 (and wilky for the PM too) regarding this. I've spoken to my m8 and he's said I could keep the card FOC - so I guess it will be staying under the PC's hood for now. :) I suppose I never took into context the extent to what the devs would utilise (and optimise?) the Physx function in...

Right chaps, I thought I'd ask the wise sages on here their viewpoint on my PC setup at the minute. I've got two GTX460's in SLi that are admittedly a bit long in the tooth now, but still perform admirably in most things. I also came across a Quadro FX580 earlier this week via a friend, simply...

You say that now...... ;) The finesse you get with K&M just dry-bums controllers - especially in the FPS games. D.

Haha! All we need to do now is to de-educate him from the thumb-twiddler contraption and introduce him to the smoothness and accuracy of K&M! ;) D.

Scutch is coming over to the Platform of Win??? :cool: D.

Wasn't the first FF game from like 1987 or something?? Tried FF7 on several attempts on PS1. And like the MGS titles, it seemed to get extremely positive reviews, but I just didn't 'get' it. D.

Looks good - might tag along! D.

Tried it with keyboard only on the hill-climb. UBER-fail! ;) D.

I was dubious myself. Then with that Vaio laptop we got last week (with 256GB SSD) - it got to the logon screen in under 5 seconds. Madness :) D.

I thought RAID0 on SSDs was pretty much irrelevant? D.

I can understand the MOT being void, but the road-tax? Is that because a damaged car could have the potential to emit more CO2 than standard?? Sorry for the OP - completely innocent in all of this and now he's got a boat-load of crap to sort. :( I would have thought/hope that that shouldn't be...

Yep - no different - certainly with Win7 x64 being chucked on. I still haven't got around to sorting out an SSD for my PC yet! D.

Haha - sounds great! I think the G25 will be unpacked again this weekend for a dabble. :) D.

John - what cars do you get in the hill-climb in the Beta? D.

Really? Not tried that - I'll have to give it a go! D.
