£300? Cheaper to build a garage for that. ;) D.

Immaculate 172 there Gareth - looks like you poured plenty of time and effort into keeping it looking good! I'm sure the Meggy will make its passing-on easier to deal with. ;) D.

Great pics - I'll have to make the trek down there to Brands at some point. Was the F1 Meggy telford-mike's? D.

True - but once bought, once owned. :) D.

LOL! Just what I was going to say. You can get 4GB sticks for under £60 these days. On a USB2 connection - it shouldn't take that long to transfer files at all. Really handy devices - we use them a lot at work. D.

Good site that, Griff. Never been to that one before. :approve: D.

LOL - didn't even know this one was on? Mustn't be reading the threads close enough! ;) Looks like you all had a good (if slightly damp!) drive out! D.

wozzaa - made no difference m8. :( However, I did try King Kong on Win98 compatibility mode and that worked fine. Still a crap game though. ;) D.

Is it a good 650w - or a cheapo unit? Some of the cheaper units can be at least a third if not more off what they say. D.

I'd be walking around with the third leg showing - Lambos and Ferrari's? :approve: LOL at the Impreza Turbo comment - like it was a shed that took you around to get used to the track! :cool: Lucky bloke! D.

In all seriousness, I would to ask the owner what their main aim was in putting the bodykit on? If they wanted their runabout Clio to look different or stand out from the crowd - then fair enough, they've managed that. If however, they wanted to convince passers-by that it was a true Vee, then...

Good God, no........:eek: I was hoping that they would look totally turd and banish the idea from me ever considering doing the same to my 182. On those pictures alone, I'd sell my ass to have them done now.... :cool: D.

Probably a DS if it was me... D.

David - I'll have a look later on, m8... Cheers wozzaa - I'll give that a go this weekend too. :) D.

LOL at you Roy - talk about good-crap-good-crap responses! :cool: I had no clicks or pops with the games and X-Fi. Only a slightly noticable one with the original BF1942. However, that all turned to sh1t when I tried Flatout 2 yesterday. Wozzaa - you've got Flatout 2 as well, haven't you m8...

Just you try it. My army of Thinkpads will wipe you from the face of the Earth..... ;) D.

What is???

Oooooh! Handbags at Dawn.... :rasp: D.

Thanks wozzaa. Any titles that spring to mind that don't work? D.

Macs have updates too! ;) D.

Yep - you've both got a valid point there (Roy & Rasclart). If the developers themselves get the lions' share of the money going back to them, they are far more likely to update and mod the original game for the sake of the community. EA (imo) doesn't give a flying monkey's about customers...

Cheers guys. I'm even more willing to try it as I've got a spare blank SATA drive to hand. Unplug the one containing my 32-bit XP and hoof this fresh drive in to try out 64-bit XP. The only game I can think of specifically that supported 64-bit was that 400MB+ patch that they did for Farcry...

Has anyone used this O/S for gaming? I know on paper that 99.9% of games are 32-bit apps anyway, but I'm intrigued to see if there's any difference and/or improvement? I've got an AM2 Athlon 64 X2 4800 and also have downloaded official XP64 Pro drivers for all of my hardware. I've got the eval...

Maybe Saner. I'm on 2MB BB now at home and first encountered Steam on a mere 512k connection. I guess because I didn't backup my files last time didn't help either. It's still got a long way to convince me otherwise, though. ;) D.

PMSL - good answer! :cool: D.

I still dislike it m8. I've had the same conversation with a bloke at work who really likes it. I just hate online involvement with games from the developers - especially when you just want to play the bloody thing. What happens when 10, 12, 20+ games on your PC all require their own 'version'...

How much is it? I haven't checked. I guess the only thing that's putting me off is that you have to use Steam to get it, iirc? Steam sucks the big one. :dead: Want to play HL2? Steam kicks in. Want to play CSS online? Steam kicks in. Want to play CSS on your own goddamn PC with no need to...

According to your profile, you were born on the 18th Jan, 1902..... ;) D.

LOL - PMSL at someone who's 104 years of age.... :rasp: D.

Yep - small scale, you're fine. It would be IT suicide to have SBS here now though. We had SBS years ago which incoporated a turd version of SQL. The trouble was, was that SQL was (and still is) crucial to our day-to-day business. The cut-down SBS version caused us no end of issues. Got our...
