I just built my first PC from the ground up. i have a 2.5 GHz Q8300 quad on an MSI G31M3 Mobo with an nVidia 9800GT 1GB by Inno3D. At the moment i am running on the intel onboard graphics because my 9800GT is not showing up on the device manager for me to install the drivers for it. Besides the off chance it isn't in properly (pretty sure it is/have double checked) what could be stopping it from showing up?

Does it need an external power supply? There were no other cables in the box however.

Thanks for any help.

i haven't added an LFS vid to favourites in a long time so congratulations! Very nice video, the opening shots were in particular brilliant.

Pineapple express wow what a laugh. A good funny movie full of laughs straight through.

Also watched death proof. now there is no plot to it, it's just car chases and killings, after the first 30 mins. But the final car chase is great fun to watch.

That BBC freeview stuff is well... stupid to say the least.

yes, that car was better there and another car was better at another track. but none of them were consistently good.

Bring some and get a kangaroo TV (although kinda expensive) so you can see the live timing and get the team radio etc.

I suppose you're right Tristan, but you have to pay for a ticket, and tickets cost alot, and for what you get, it's not really worth it.

tbh, your best off getting an admissions ticket and carrying a picnic chair around with you. they are anything from free(friday) to £80(full weekend) i believe.

Tennis?

Quote from BlueFlame :

Depends where you are on track, but whats the point paying for something you can watch on TV for free? And sharing that GP-time with thousands of fools who know nothing about F1? Plus if I want to hear decent engine sounds I'll go to a drag racing meet, or go to a historic F1 or GT event.

The TV stands are everywhere pretty much. It's obvious that your a bit too arrogant to watch F1 with us fools who know nothing about F1 so I'll leave it at that, there's no point trying to explain to someone as magnificently knowledgeable as you.

Any cheap hitman rates in the yellow pages? This man needs to die!!!!

imo none of those cars are better than the brawns, yes they beat the brawns but they aren't better. The drivers in them made the most out of the situations they were put in.

What car other than the red bull is/has been better than the brawn?

I finished 12th of 21 in the rain. It was my first time driving in the wet and getting used to driving completely off the line was an odd feeling lol. the karts had slick tires on and also some stupid mechanism which stopped you from left foot braking. Anyway i got used to it in my second heat (of 3) but just as it was going good i got punted off and was last by about 5 seconds after having to get it out the wet grass. I got a string of 5th places after 8th 5th and 8th again in my 3 heats, stupid random grid orders. There were some pretty good drivers with a lot of experience there, one guy had driven super 1 karts, another was from the Birmingham uni motorsport club and a few other drivers have/had their own karts. Still feel disappointed with myself though but i have much experience to gain.

i would of thought alonso would be a bit higher up for sure.

Same thing happened to Gis and A.Davison

well, lewis has an mbe no? so i guess jenson and ross will be getting at least that much.

Quote from Forbin :

Sorry, "could of" and "would of" really bugs me, and I couldn't resist taking it a step further.

"Could 'ave" and "would 'ave" are, how most people say those phrases, I think, leaving off the "H" sound. I suspect that's where the confusion comes from.

/grammar police

Wow, I bet you're a laugh at the pub..

indeed i wanted to see it go down to the wire and it was looking like lorenzo could of made it happen. Not that he would of beat rossi at phillip island, especially in that condition. Shows he still has much to learn.

goot goot, are u guys changing to the XRR anytime soon?

Quote from JasonL220 :

didn't get through first race started 9th finished 7th but 3rd fastest lap

race 2 started 5th got up to 3rd entering the first turn on the outside but got forced wide onto the grass dropped to 10/11th got back to 7th.

finished 12th overall, which is very annoying when setting 4th fastest lap

good luck benji

ah that sucks man I am going to do some practice for an hour or so tomorrow, then go to the gym on tuesday and wednesday to build up the muscles a bit as that became a problem for me in the first round. Hopefully i'll get through to the finals

nah, priory for me next weekend.
