If you can get your hands on this baby you should definitely get it. The Mobility Radeon 4570 is gonna be sweet!

I say you should start saving money for a new computer rather than throwing money at your old one. I did that for too many years and the computer in question never really got any better. On the other hand, another 2GB of RAM would definitely give you an instant boost in everything, so that's the only upgrade I recommend, particularly since RAM is very cheap these days.
I guess he got it working, he's online now.
What driver are you using for your video card? Is it the latest one from ATI.com?
What makes you think those are stepper motors?
They're pretty cool, can you post the dds file so I can take a proper screenshot? :P
Which one is it, the 510 or 515? I doubt you can upgrade that thing, I'm betting it's just like a laptop on the inside, where everything is connected to everything else.
I know you think I'm an ATI fanboy (which I am lol), but don't put words into my mouth.
But now we're talking about the 9800GT, which was not part of what you said first. You said the 9600GT is faster than the 4830, which is simply not true. I don't care to compare the 9800GT to the 4830, they give similar performance numbers, it all depends on who reviewed them...
if you like nvidia then why don't you marry it...
LOL!!! Do you have a source to back that up? Otherwise you're just proving that you have no idea what you're talking about!
The Radeon 4830 is faster than the 9800GT, and thus significantly faster than the 9600GT .
Next time go read some reviews before making statements like the one you just made.
MIDNIGHT CLUB and TRUE CRIME are the most overrated games ever.
What Phelps does in his private life is his own business. He was not on drugs at the time he won his medals and that's what counts. I couldn't care less about what he does outside of competitions.
it's for real, read about it earlier lol
aparently some guy walked in the scene while they were filming, so they had to re-do the scene after. that's why bale was so pissed off.

I used these tools to speed up (read: unlock the potential of) my network connection. And yes, I'm using onboard network cards, but their performance is only limited by Windows, they don't have hardware limitations.

Download and run the TCP/IP optimizer and the TCP/IP slowdown fix. For the optimizer, just set the connection speed to your modem's speed (mine is 7 Mbps) and click the "optimized" radio button at the button, apply and restart. For the other it simply unlocks the Windows-set MTU limit of 10 and you can change it to a really high number, something around 16,000,000.
These two tools greatly sped up my networking speeds, but you have to run them on all the computers in your house to achieve high speeds between all of them.

I have no idea what the postage would be, it might not be worth it to ship it from here though as shipping might cost as much as the card itself lol. You can't find that card in the UK? Have you tried ebay?
I can get an ASUS Radeon 3450 256 MB sff AGP card for about $60, or about 30-40 of your pounds.
Scawen, you've been using dial-up all these years? Why? Broadband's been available for a decade.
But I do understand now why you've been away for so long, I've also moved houses about 3 years ago and I know first-hand how much "stuff" can accumulate in a house and how long it takes to clean that stuff out, decide what to do with it (keep it or throw it away), and actually moving it over to the new house. The whole process took weeks for us, so this is not surprising at all. However, we did not have the problems you had when it came to phone and internet service, they were both installed the day after we called them. Good luck with your new house!

My FPS was the same in XP and 7. You have to remember that video card drivers for Windows 7 are still in beta stage at best, so you can't expect the performance to be on par with XP just yet. But I can bet you, when Windows 7 goes gold, it will have better performance than XP.
Why don't you run CPU-Z and find out? BTW a T5500 is a Core 2 Duo. As Jakg said, Centrino is just a combination of technologies and nothing more. It does not describe a single component in the computer, just that the computer as a whole meets a certain standard specified by Intel.

lol seriously Sam, come on...
I'm just saying, it was easy to predict what would happen when scawen announced the delay, so all the information in the world wouldn't have stopped people from making threads about it.

Well now, if this information would have been made available earlier, perhaps there would have been less threads/posts about the Scirocco.
Isn't there a user on the forum with the same name as guy who posted that video? SpikeyMarcoD? Maybe you can ask him.
ffs I can fly to Germany, buy a Scirocco, have it shipped to Canada, and drive it before it will be available in LFS.
Yes, because I love the slower cars.
