Looking for a motherboard.

I am looking for a new motherboard which would suit my needs. I quite fancy getting my self a better graphics card so would like to try Sli out. Thing is my PC is quite a strange combo. Ok so onto the details:

What I need is a Motherboard which supports DDR2 ram. Simple enough right but here is the killer. It must also be able to support my AM3 CPU (Phenom II 955) As well as this as I said earlier I would like to be able to use Sli. So I'm going to hazard a guess that it will need two PCI-e x16 slots. Price well the lowest you can find. Bare in mind that is needed to be UK retailers and I would appreciate it if you also attached a link to said motherboard. Thanks. Btw the current card I've got is a GTS 250. Yes my PC is strange (AMD CPU with Nvidia card) and no I won't try ATI

make it 95%. Technically Lamborghini are German. BMW have the M3 and the M5, Audi have the R8 and Merc have the SLS AMG. And the SL65 AMG Black.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :Ah, well you see... Kia doesn't even have a sports car. That's why everybody rices them up, cheap and all..

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :I must be missing something here, but what do you mean by "flogged"? I thought you meant to sell the car at first, but then wondered why an Automatic Gearbox would affect this, and why selling an SLS would make someone happy.

So what do you mean by "flogging"? You damn kids are making up words for everything now...



I don't have the game (Or a PS3 for that matter) so forgive me if I am wrong, but I thought that the game put up a preset route and we as users could only adjust things like enviroment, road width, corner sharpness, time of day etc. etc.

I didn't think it would be as complex as making a whole track from scratch?

as in flogging a horse. So eg. flogging a horse to death. So beating it to death. Not in the sense of selling but as in beating it to death.

I was having some fun earlier. I bought a Prius. And then. I drove said prius into a wall. Multiple times. Sadly I aren't level 20 yet. Then I sold said prius. Hating it even more than I did before. I wanted to flog it but the POS had an auto box. Hateful car. Then to make my self happy I went out and flogged my SLS.

omg. What made toyota decide to turn the Corolla into a POS.

Actually. What made toyota make the Corolla sporty for two years and then make it back into a POS?

Did standard cars have damage from the go? As in physical damage eg. the body being bent. Cause I was messing round in a race using my SLS as a bulldozer. Anyway I plowed into a Lupo GTi which is a standard car and when it moved away one of the wheel arches was completely bent. I wonder if standard car cockpits will be added at some point in a patch.

Quote from Ni-san :The seller consider selling it for 10 000NOK (about 1100 euro) but he offers it to me for 3000NOK (about 370 euro). As my first car I'm just looking for something cheap that goes forward. Unlike a Ferrari, if I crash and ruin the car it isn't such a big deal. I drive almost as bad in a real car as in LFS. (in a real car I haven't drove off the road or crashed yet)

Likelihood you will end up paying more in repairs than you paid for the car. Better to go for something more expensive but more reliable and safer.

yeah. Supprised me as well. Apparently they are very popular in the US among the tuner scene. A lot of people like to modify them.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :Kia? What the **** is wrong with you? I don't consider that as a reliable car. Stupid cheap-ass junk cars, my underwear has even more quality than all kia's

not reliable? tell that to my mum's kia picanto. Almost 40k miles. Mostly school run. Never missed a beat. Only trouble we ever had was something caused the ECU to wig out. Just took it to the dealer. They reset it and it was fine. No rust anywhere on it. And that is after 5 years on british roads. So loads of salt. My mum doesn't really take care of it. (well actually it is more of a fact she keeps it in the garage and keeps running into the ladder.)

To the guy looking. You can get them pretty cheap now a days and the LX comes with Air Con. (Old model. There is also a facelift version) The engines are a 1.1 or a 1.0 and I know from experience the 1.1 can get 50mpg on open roads. We usually get about high 30s to 40ish mpg. But that is school run where we are stuck in traffic for ages.

Oh and as well with the not reliable point. I know it is a different model. But you call 277,000 miles not reliable http://www.kia-forums.com/3g-2 ... -kia-rio5-about-roll.html

Quote from Ni-san :I consider getting this. Someone I know sells this pretty cheap. Brake pads needs to be replaced soon, but it goes forward. Decent, except that it's an AT.

Yeah that 1 series is a decent buy. Shame you couldn't get a picture without the crappy Micra in the way.










Oh wait. NOOOOO Don't do it. That Micra is no good. Get something more modern. If you want a cheap thing. Kia Picanto

Ok decided to take the PS3 to my desk. ****ing awsome with the G27. No other word to describe it. And shockingly the sound quality is better through my monitor and into a pair of £6 in ear headphones than it is from my Samsung LED TV.

Man my B-spec driver is insane. First race he did in a slightly modified MX5. I told him to pass this Citroen C4 he was behind so he bloody comes full throttle down the straight into the corner keeps on the power. Kicks out the back end about 70 degrees huge clouds of smoke coming from the tyres and the body rolling so much due to stock suspension. So anyway he passed him and won. And he is supposed to be a cool driver. I hate to imagine what a hot one is like

I bought a skyline :P

Found it in the Used car lot. A Nissan Skyline GTR R34 V-Spec II N1. It is pretty quick. I did have to do an engine rebuild though as it was shagged.

Quote from tristancliffe :Yes! Although the delivery estimate is 1 - 3 days, it is usually overnight rather than three. Fingers crossed I get it tomorrow.

Not sure if I can be bothered to uproot my PC, take the G25 and ECCI pedals and somehow arrangement them on/under my coffee table, or whether to uproot the PS3 and try to connect that to my monitor via a HDMI-DVI adaptor. Or just stick with the dualshock.

Same here. I think it will be dualshock for a few weeks until I figure something out. Might take the PS3 downstairs to try on the 3d tv or may put it on my desk to use the G27. But with a 24" monitor rather than the 40" in the living room. Decisions

Dispatched status from Amazon for me as well. Tristan did it for shipping did it only give you the first class option? (It was free anyway)

I don't get why they couldn't have just done 1000 Forza 3 level cars instead of 200 supposedly uber realistic cars. Hell the Forza cars would look awsome with the GT5 graphics engine. The cockpits on Forza 3 are fine. And in 6 years they could have made possibly over 1000 Forza 3 level cars. Hell the Forza 3 devs did it in about what was it 2 years.
