Quote from Shotglass :

alright so the game is still not bad
the demo servers are utter hell but the netcode works fine and i didnt notice any framedrops with ~10 cars in front of me
the defualt setup is nasty but i get by

unfortunately the whole thing is let down by the woeful gearbox simulation which is still active even with the engine off and useless when the engine is running... almost bad enough to make me put it down and forget about it for another 2 years (ie until 1.04 is out)

Blah blah...

It seem's you want NKP to fail whatever so what was the point in you trying the demo?

I'm a bug fan of his. As you can see I got his DVD for Christmas. I watched it Christmas night and then again yesterday. It's hilarious!!

Didn't go much on Paddy McGuinness. Good job you're swapping it though.

Yea he's amazing!

I might try and see him live next time

Lol yea my mum got him mixed up with Frankie Boyle somehow

All the same except i treated myself to a nice new ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB

As my 3870 was dying slowly

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

My birthday. That makes it so special

Haha ok, but nothing happen's on your birthday :P

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

8800Gt aint that quite though.

It is still more quiet than a GTX though and you won't see much of a difference in LFS as it is more biased toward's the CPU

@JakG - I take it PC world's will be open on boxing day with the sale's? I too need a new card to replace my slowly dying 3870.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

Well, mine is at 4th of April so I own you even more.

What's so special about the 4th of April?

I must have missed something lol

Would be good if you could actually spell December right too

My birthday is tomorrow so i ownzzz you all :P

Hello guy's,

Basically the title say's it all!

I have recently raced for Icon Racing who i left for HM Racing - a decision i took as i wanted to focus more on Single Seater racing.

HM being a new team i felt the freedom would help me as a driver, how ever obviously the team sadly closed.

So i am looking for a new team, as i said i wish to focus on single seater's but i also enjoy racing other car's too

I am currently racing on CTRA - look me up as Mclarenmatt

Cheer's,

Mclarenmatt.

Sometimes I get bored and lose concentration, resulting in me missing my braking point and either A) Smash into the back of someone or B) Hit the nearest gravel trap only to get stuck

Quote from 5haz :

Itll probrably be worth about 50p within a week. In which case I will buy it and paint the cars Blue with a yellow stripe and wheels.

With some cheapo Homebase paint

Did anyone else notice how a watercooling pipe go's right across where the memory go's?

Everyone on this forum chip in a tenner and we have an F1 Team!

Im No.1 driver though obviously :P

AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition @ 3.0GHZ

A good little gaming pc, apart from it never run's many games due to the graphics card driver not responding (a known issue with ATI & Vista) :/

Thank's for the help guy's

Im looking into getting a Quad Core Phenom soon and possibly a new Graphics Card which should help then

Doe's the memory speed and size on the graphics card make much of a difference?

Hey Guy's,

Im after some help!

I tried to do a 1920x1200 render with the V2 kit but after 12 hour's it still hadn't finished :/

My system isn't exactly poor - it should be ok for rendering.

AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition @ 3.0GHZ

4GB DDR2 800MHZ
ATI Radeon 3870 512MB PCI-Express 2.0
250GB Samsung 8MB Cache
Windows Vista Home Premium X64
Kaspersky 2009 etc.

Should it take this long?

What FPS should i be using?

I am using 32bit Blender - i did try 64bit but for some reason i couldn't get it to work!

Edit:// Ok got 64bit working, will this help?

Here's my two cent's

Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L iP35 Decent P35 Chipset - Good For Overclocking (If You Wanted To) And Overall A Decent All Round Motherboard.

Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz 2GB Of Decent Corsair DDR2 800MHZ Ram With Heat Spreaders - This Also Allows You Room To Add More Ram If You Wanted At A Later Date And This Could Also Be Ran In Dual Channel Mode Which Is Quicker!

Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo With 2.6GHZ Straight Out The Box And 3MB Of Cache Which Is Good - If You Were To Buy An After Market Cooler At Some Point Too You Could Very Easily Overclock This Beyond 3.0GHZ

£184.83 Delivered (Up To 5 Days Delivery - Cheapest Option).

Do you have a capable Power Supply, copy of Windows etc?

Sell It?

Loads of spares and repair laptops on ebay.

Cheers Guys
