Put another way m8 - I can run Mass Effect 2, Bioshock and Unreal Tournament 3 in 1920x1200 with most of the bells and whistles on - and I've only got a dual core AMD X2 6400 as well!
I think combine a current ATi card with our existing quad-core setup and you should be more than fine.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Aside from the right-mouse button finally giving up after 4 years of usage (lol) - this has been one of my best gaming experiences in recent times.
It's almost like anything and everything that was merely 'ok' with the previous game, has been revamped and made so...
Definitely.
Still running on my trusty 'ol 4870 - but if I were to buy a new one tomorrow - it would be ATi and not nVidia that I'd be spending the readies on....
D.
Lol - me too on the C-64. :)
Another one that was good was Stuka Raid on the BBC Micro - probably around 1987/88 time. We used to have that on the BBCs at school, along with Decathlon on the old, old IBM PCs.
We had an even ealier game called Sopwith on the Research Machines terminals at...
With a bit more support and development, that could have been a truly superb O/S. I bought it in OEM form and ran it for some time. It was really, really quick on initial installation - just a shame that hardly anything supported it.
The two things that were a guaranted install on it though...
Feckin' hell! I didn't think anyone else would remember this! Definitely Cinemaware's best game of all time, followed by Rocket Ranger and It Came from the Desert.
Great story/career mode and waay ahead of it's time - it really pushed the limits on what the Amiga hardware could do.
Brilliant...
Interesting!
I did buy both Grand Prix Managers' by Microprose back in the early 90s, but I never really got 'into' them. There were quite a few options and inputs to change, but it was very, very easy to run out of money. A bit like real F1 teams, I guess? :)

Not tried it yet! Main reason was that I'm trying to download the 60MB+ and 460MB+ DLC packs for it before I start.
Unfortunately, it appears most of the civilisied world is trying to do the same. The downloads are timing out a lot. :(

64-bit all the way. If your hardware will support it, you might as well use it. :)
I've had but a single issue with 64-bit, so I would definitely recommend it.

Depends how 'deep' you want to go into it. Is this on PC, btw?
Sturmovik is a good one, but if you can recite flight manuals verbatim - then DCS Black Shark is definitely where it's at....

Welcome Dan. :)
Personally, I'd pick the colour you want first and stick with it. Black gold is a great colour but an absolute nightmare to keep clean. I've had mine since new in December '04 and even the results from a weekend's worth of PC'ing and buffing up, literally last a few weeks -...
I don't own a console.... but look what I restarted this weekend :cool:
I had a triple-whammy of WIN as well....
Playing it this time at 1920x1200 resolution instead of 1280x1024
Running in DX10 on Windows 7 instead of DX9 from Windows XP
Built-in Physx support with the cheapo card I...
I don't really get the white as being an 'in' or 'fashionable' comments. It's always been a good colour throughout the years. Old Porsche 2.7's, Escort series 1 RS Turbos, Honda Civic Type-R's and NSXs. Even my dad's Fiesta 1.4S back in the day was white - lol!
D.
Lol! Nice one!
Thanks for the comments guys! I really just wish I'd had them done sooner now. :)
D.
Yes m8. I did think matt black at first, but then I just thought they would dirty from a distance all the time. They do look good against a bit of tyre shine too. :)

:slap: :rasp:

That really does sound surprising why Ford would omit that? There must be a specific reason - as I can see it being a capable motorway cruiser as well?
Still, there's no doubting its epicness. Looks the shizzle for sure. Awesome purchase, Royston! :approve:
D.
Personally, I think with contrasting black bits - it looks ace. :approve:
I would probably even get the side strips done black - have the 2.0 16V writing in white on black background - leave the wing mirrors black and possibly have the boot spoiler in black as well - just to break up the...
I forget that lad's forum name on here that had the white 182. Looked amazing and clearly had had a lot of effort put into it. - edit (RS182Lancs) ???
Then there was Dan Clarke's 172 in White as well...
