Now sold

Hi all

I have a GTX980Ti for sale. Bit overkill for LFS I agree, but great for other games

Currently on eBay:

Thanks for looking!

It was a great day. Karting was great, accomodation and food was great, and the BBQ was 1st class (because I cooked it LOL )

Well done to Jason again. Thanks for organising mate, was another great success.

A silver medal in the sprint race for me, Paul, BreadC and Daniel. This was one better than last year' bronze, so next year I want a Winners medal

Well, it is 2 days later and I am still having difficulty moving without my legs and arms screaming in complaint :em31:

Looking forward to next year though

Thanks for the invite guys

This sounds like a great idea. Although I have not fired up LFS in a while now

Hope to see you all soon

Quote from batteryy :

is g25 worth buying. i aint a hardcore gamer and i dont play that much. but i play some times, so far my FFEX has been working like a dream for 2 years but ive kinda got bored to driving lfs with it. so i tough would g25 be worth it since it is kinda expensive even if i dont play games so much

It is most certainly a great wheel.

But, if you will not use it very often, why pay so much money for a wheel when you already have one?

Although saying that, if money is not an issue then go buy one

Quote from Dygear :

SELECT *, `Total` AS (`Training` + `Meeting` + `Detail` + `Crew` + `Additional`) FROM `Hours` ORDER BY `Total` DESC;

I'm sure you all know what I'm trying to do, but the implementation is just not working for me. Anyone have any suggestions?

(It should be noted that the rows `Training`, `Meeting`, `Detail`, & `Crew` are FLOATs and the row `Additional` is a TINYINT.)

Hey Marc, been a long time. How you doing?

Should the SQL code be this way around?


EDIT: See above

1. Just drive into the pits. To do a stop you must be within the pit lines to initiate a stop. This is done automatically

2. As far as I know, there is now way of exiting a stop once initiated. However, you can turn repair damage off by pressing F12 while out on track then using cursor key to move down to repair damage, and turn it off

Hope this helps

Hate to admit it, but love this pic Gets my vote

Uke was a close second for me

Quote from Gentlefoot :

as SR were born out of the GFC.

The first two [SR] members joined (SR and LFS) in Jan 2003, the third member (myself) in August 2003.

Are you able to get to BIOS now?

Also, with the CPU issue, have you reapplied thermal paste?

If my heatsinking was hanging off, I would clean the paste from CPU and heatsink then re-apply it.

You also need (as someone else suggested) to swap out the PSU to rule it out.

Whitchurch mate, I'm only a few miles from Tongey i think

Probably about 1 mile as the crow flies mate, maybe 2

Quote from natedog420 :

funny if you would have looked at his cpuz txt file he has 2gb of kingston........................

Have to admit, I totally missed that part

natedog, you truly are the master. Therefore, I must bow down to your greatness :spyoda:

However, I am bored with this now. I have given the original thread poster my opinion and I stick with it (minus the RAM lol)

Quote from natedog420 :

........and why would he buy 3 stick of ram do you even know what your talking about....

Quote from natedog420 :

........................and the speed from the 8800gts 320mb and the 9800gtx are pretty much the same.......

And you are asking me what I am talking about with comments like that

What I meant by not messing around with the CPU was. He does not NEED to change that part, to do that would require changing
the motherboard and everything else that goes with it, which is just too expensive to warrant at this stage.

Anyway, to clarify.........

firstly, the Dell dimension 4700 has 512mb of ram stock, so at $12 per 1GB, I recommended he buy 3 at that price and throw the 512 away. DUH!

secondly, the PSU you posted will not run the 8800GTS due to the lack of a 6 pin power connector needed

Please do your research (if you know how) before making such comments.

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :

Thanks for the info Tongey, ill look into that.

E: Because my CPU (processor?) is integrated, it can't be upgraded?

No problem, your welcome. I would not mess around with your CPU though, its not worth it.

If the video card fits in the case, the upgrades I mentioned will do you fine. If not, its a case of a whole new PC, or starting from scratch like the others are saying

Good luck !!

Dougie, The PSU mentioned in my post is a Dell Compatible replacement for the dimension 4700

You are probably right about the 9800 gtx not fitting though, which is why I mentioned it. Was not 100% sure

I am wondering though, could a Dell system just be moved to a new/bigger case? - I know it is not an ideal situation but surely less expensive than replacing EVERYTHING

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :

Well I cant take it anymore. I NEED a new graphics card. I'm tired of getting 10 fps on a lonely grid. I have a dell dimensions 4700 computer and I have no clue about upgrading to a new card. I was looking for something 100 FPS with a few cars on the road (don't laugh, I just want a good card). My KDS supports HDMI so along the lines of that would be excellent. Any more information you need, just ask

You might get away with this ...

psu 460W
460W Power Supply Compatible for your Dimension 4700

9800 GTX
9800 GTX Graphics Card

Run over the specs just to make sure and that should be a great upgrade for under $300.

Pay particular attention to the voltages etc. quoted in the minimum specs of the graphics card. And more importantly check the length of this card (9" long) to make sure it will fit into your Case, allowing enough clearance for power plugs, hard discs etc..

I just checked the power issue and it definately should work, plus this one is a little cheaper and has a HDMI port (you still need to check the physical length of your PC case!)
9800GTX with HDMI port

I posted this because if you have the stock ram installed with the dimension 4700, which is 512mb you need to upgrade that too.

If you are running Windows XP, get 3 of these
Ram upgrades

If you are running Vista get 4

If you get the cheaper graphics card, this should still fall under your budget of $300

This will get your frame rate where you need it

Good luck!

Personally, I would not recommend playing LFS using a 3GP connection.

However, to answer the original question. This software fits the bill nicely........

http://www.netlimiter.com/featurelist.php

There is a freeware version which monitors all network traffic and the amount used

I really enjoyed the 2008 season.

1 gripe though. I missed the 1st race after the summer break because I simply forgot.

Could an auto email be sent out to every member, say a week before the end of the summer break, as a reminder?

Other than that, great season guys (Qualy on the server is much better ). Keep up the good work

Quote from Dygear :

I was asking for knowledgeable reply's, but ...........idea for a program: A program that lists all services on the computer, it's name, it's description, weather or no it's started / manual / stopped, the name of the dll it is, the name of the exe it's running under. A CSV file format would be fun .

This sounds similar to what SMS does (Systems Management Server) which can view the whole resources of any PC connected to the domain the server is running on. However, SMS does require each client to have the client app installed in order to work

Could a Java app do this? - Just throwing ideas around, so excuse my ignorance in these matters

Quote from tristancliffe :

Would you be the teammate Jason referred to, or another SR member in addition to?

More than likely in addition to

Depending on date, I would definately be up for this

Jan is good although cannot do weekends of 17th & 24th

I had a great race in Pool 2
6th to 1st
