Best of luck lads - lets hope he's not trying to pull a fast one....:S D.

It IS supposed to be happening m8. YOu have to chase them up yourself to provide the service though.... Mind you, 10MB is nothing..... ;) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4422098.stm D.

Imagine if they did a mod where crashing was the whole point?! A mixture of Flatout and GTL - that would be quality.... :D D.

Good move Chris - gimme a shout if you're going online m8! You're right with it not running BF2 - that needs DirectX 9, which the Ti range of cards never supported. Like Lee says - GT Legends too! D.

Trust you to spot that one Chris! ;) D.

Bloody hell - I had one of those about 8 years ago. I great big external Plextor jobbie that came with its own SCSI PCI card. It could only burn CDs at single speed as well and usually had a paddy at like 98% complete or something - wasting a complete CD in the process. I thought most SCSI CD...

Fecking 'ell - were you that good on GTR as well??? If so, there's no point me racing you - I won't stand a chance! :) I found it really hard to race the CPU oppostion in GTR. They seemed to have additional benefit at the start - almost like they didn't have cold tyres and stuff. The grip and...

Jeezuz - how good does that look???! :cool: As for the online CS race - definitely. Probably weekends is the best time for me. What about everyone else?

Good stuff Nik. :cool: I must admit, one thing I found crap with GTR was the fact that the physics engine couldn't really handle power-slides and oversteer. Yet even in the GTL demo, I found it remarkably straight-forward to maintain an Elan's drift through a sweeping bend - constantly...

Careful about the car being on your dad's policy m8. Loads of insurers are clamping down on that option - it was only supposed to be there as a get-out clause in the first place - being able to drive a car that was 'technically' listed against another driver for emergency situations. It...

Bad, bad news - that must be awful to actually witness, realising you can do sod all to stop it. I did have my previous car on some ice on the road a few years back. Just sat still in traffic, it starting sliding backwards - not quickly, but it picked up momentum. Luckily the cars in front...

What make is the mobo, m8?

Ok m8 - no probs. I'm the opposite to you in that I've got F.E.A.R but haven't installed it. Not sure if my PC spec is even up to it, bearing in mind that CoD2 is like a slideshow on mine.... :dapprove: D.

Come on Lee - what's it like? I nipped into PC World earlier and they had it on the shelves at £34.99 (hmmm, bargain :S ) but I'll have to wait until the end of the week before I can order it from Play. The screenshots on the casing look great. Have you managed to have a go of the 911 yet...

Roy - mine's the following MSI mobo, m8.... http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K7N2_Delta-ILSR With the 3200+XP CPU fitted, Radeon 9800Pro and 2x 512MB Corsair PC3200 memory. Runs most things fine - Battlefield 2, GTR, etc - but CoD2 just dies on my PC. Unless there's some...

Have you enough voltage going to the gfx card? I take it that it's an up-to-date one? Have you connected to the right VGA socket on the rear?! Sounds daft, I know, but if the PC comes with onboard VGA and you've added another gfx card, its an easy mistake to make. Similarly, if you already...

Looks very good indeed. Have you noticed a big loss in acceleration though, fitting those huge rims on there???! D.

I could run the original one no problems at all m8. However, the follow-up is definitely a step-up in spec requirements. Roy, that bit near the start where you prepare for the German counter-attack - I'm not kidding, I was easily on sub 5fps on that initially. It bogged down so much..... :(...

You and me both, m8! ;) D.

Lucky git - even if it did bomb out...! ;) D.

Looks fantastic - especially with the dark wheels... :approve: Good to see another use of flaps (oo-er) as well. They really finish the arches off... D.

THis was mine on Tuesday. It looks worse than it is in the picture... Still haven't managed to clean it yet. My 182 will be suing me for negligence soon! :cool: D.

Tried it last night...... Oh dear - time to upgrade, methinks......:dapprove: D.

I agree with g40steve - the Contis are the best tyre I've had. Having said that, Avons were the only tyres that didn't devour themselves up front on the GT. Quite hard wearing I found, but not a patch on the Contis for overall 'feel'. D.

^^^^ - the one reason why I remain in CRT land........ for now ;) D.

Agreed. :approve: D.

It was a toss-up between that and the Atari Jaguar for me. As it turned out, I got neither and stuck with my Amiga. I did get an Atari Lynx though. Still got it and it works! :) D.

Re: 182 a13 01.01.2005 You've got a good memory m8 - 01.01.05. I can't remember spotting people eleven months ago... ;) D.

PAH! You can do both at once. Get pissed and then play GTL! ;) I actually find it quite disturbing how I can shave a few tenths of a second off my laptimes in GTR after I've had a few tins. :S Let us know what its like though! D.

Griff's right - it will only help support specific memory that the mobo has known issues with. Sometimes the memory timings can be a little out when the mobos leave the factory and an updated BIOS can sometimes rectify this. I know on my MSI mobo, there were a few issues with certain brands of...
