Cheers guys! Is the dual quad core overkill then? I'd been looking at the dual core/dual CPU spec with 4GB of memory? Rich - same as you m8 - the 2.66Ghz versions. I don't think upping the speed to 3.06Ghz would make that much difference? Certainly for the hike in the price, anyway? Would...

I did say to the MD that we'd be 'starting at £2k' which probably only gets your foot in the door of Mac buying. Or maybe a mouse.... ;) D.

It's not a proper Windows tech demo without... "Windows Exception Error : 0xxch458724637482364" bollox... ;) D.

Right chaps, I've been given the green light to get a replacement desk-based Mac for one of our designers. I could spend hours tweaking the pros & cons of PC hardware, but I know next to nothing in terms of Mac stuff! Basically, the guy who uses the out-going Mac spends 99% of his time in...

They look the same as a set on a Ford Ka near me.. Edit - Clio Offroad Editon? Ney chance - can't you tell that that has been lowered?! :clown: D.

Have you not tried BF2142 yet, m8? D.

I know how you feel, Rory.... I had a nail going through the side-wall on one of my PE2's. Bloody thing was only three weeks old at the time! :( D.

Tunnel vision - that's all they've got. As long as that little stretch of tarmac that they can see ahead with their little piggy-eyed peepers is clear, then they are happy. Happy in the complete ignorance of the carnage and mayhem they are causing in their rear mirrors. If second-hand M1...

LOL - good 'ol wireless - what a shower of sh1t. Wired mouse. Wired keyboard. Always works. ;) D.

Welcome m8! 182's seem quite robust in all honesty. I'm a bit anal with mine and change the oil every 6,000 miles and managed to get nearly 24k out of the front set of tyres. I treat it like I would any other car. Let it warm up properly before seeing the far side of the rev-range, but...

Just the usual run to Blackburn Asda for me today, so it wouldn't have been me. Plus mine's filthy! ;) Could have been Leeshez? Or I've seen an '05 black gold 182 a few times near the centre of Blackburn? D.

Must have spotted at least 6 different blue 182s there, yesterday. Some FF, some 182 Cups, some with stripes, others without? Anyone on here? I don't think I spotted one CS sticker on the ones I saw.... D.

Cool - I actually get to mention the 'R' word for once. It's usually me with the reposts.... ;) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=213304 D.

The driver's side is a right pain in the ricker. That's gone twice on mine and I dropped the first bulb down the front of the engine bay. The passenger side has acres of space to work in, by comparison! D.

They look great Colin - and the silver supports suit it perfectly. They would however, look far better in a Scotia White Evo VI.....:rasp: D.

Glad someone else thought so! Have any pics been moved/altered? I can't see any difference between the Before and After pics on page one? :S D.

You may get away with it. My dual 7900GTX's under full load never drain more than 300w, according to the LEDs from the PSU. I know the 8800 series of cards are more demanding, but it shouldn't be too much. My PSU is rated at 750w - a bit overkill for what I need it for! D.

Some good pics in there! The yellow sub of Middo's looks superb! D.

It's the 'ol bitter and lager argument with Macs and PCs. Never the two agree! ;) Must admit, for £1,169 though, the PC spec you could afford would be very good indeed. D.

I went Akasa recently, Griff... http://www.akasa.co.uk/ Look for the Evo 120 v2 model (stupid website doesn't give a direct URL) and that's the one I have. Seems to be working brilliantly at the moment. :) D.

Dear...............oh..................dear! Mid-life crisis fantastic?! :eek: Maybe when I get my hands on one, a trip up to Carlisle'ish is required to put you in your place, young man..... :rasp: D.

Hehehe - maybe! More likely, I'm just totally outclassed! :cool: Nope - definitely NOT on wireless - I've seen first hand at how bursty net traffic through those things really screws up gameplay. CAT5, straight into the router.... D.

I have heard that some online gamers ramp-down their gfx settings to almost piss-poor quality, simply to improve frame-rate and response times? I remember the 'ol favourite on Soldier of Fortune II of unticking the 'Detailed Sky' option in graphical settings. Instantly the enemy players were...

LOL - bad luck there! D.

Yup - I vaguely recall seeing a silver oh-sixer on my travels. D.

Mainly, m8. It could well be the BF engine itself that causes these issues. But having said that, the last LAN session I went to, I didn't recall dodgy situations when we were playing BF2 - and definitely not on CoD2 either. That's not to say they weren't happening - just that they were far...

Lessons to be learnt there Roy. You clearly had high hopes for STALKER since placing the order back in 1986. Maybe your hopes for Crysis should be taken down a peg or two, also? Think of it as Farcry 2 (which wouldn't be a bad thing anyway) but anything better/superior/amazing after that would...

I know it's an obvious statement to say that the faster your BB connection, the better the 'experience' will be. But how much does general broadband speed make to your game, in comparison to what the server deems to correct at any one particular time. E.g:- Me at home on a 1MB connection at...

Looks like a good blat out! I'm sure I'd be hosing down the car for weeks after though - getting all the sand out! I think I can safely say that Rich's black mirror will never see a beach in it's life.... D.

Just watching that vid (and bearing in mind I know nothing about the game) the knack seems to be random turns counter-clockwise and firing slightly more inward of the 'turn' you're making. That way, making a clear path for you throughout the turn. I'm sure its massively more difficult than...
