Sure you can gain by using custom view. You have a better view of the front side of the car, and can go closer to the corners, especially on SO. At least for those skilled with using custom view. I would fail miserably on it though, since for me it looks totally weird.

I'm psychic!! Nah, it was from the 4 Hour Nürburgring Nordschleife race.

Btw. they were leading their class by a good margin until about an hour before the finish, when a bolt came loose between the exhaust and the turbo, causing smoke coming into the cockpit.

Unfortunately they had to retire after the cockpit got filled with smoke.

The computer is overclocked, right? Try with it not overclocked.

The emulators only have basic Android interface, while the HTC mobiles have the Sense UI on top. And having a mobile with Linux is way better than one with Windows.

The Legend, or the Desire if you can stretch the budget. I'm okay with using Windows on my computer, but on my mobile? No way! I have the Tattoo, which doesn't have the greatest screen, but I'm super happy with it.

Should be fixed in 3.8.5 now.

Laptop... I'm pretty sure the air vents and fan is full of dust then. It's a pretty common problem with laptops after a while. Get a can of compressed air, open the covers/keyboard so you can see the fan, then blow air from the outside through the air vents. This will loosen the lint/dust that's stuck to the vents. You might need something to pick up and remove the lints with.

“SP2 also includes a Service Pack Clean-up tool (Compcln.exe), which helps restore the hard disk space by permanently deleting the previous versions of the files (RTM and SP1) that are being serviced by SP2."

Checked your cpu fan for dust lately?
Download and run CCleaner to free up some space.
Also if you're on Vista SP1, you can run vsp1cln in a command prompt to further free some space, or if you're on Vista SP2 run compcln in a command prompt.

Put them in an office and let them work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, like most people in this world does while still managing family and other stuff, and I'm sure things would happen a lot faster. But as we all know that's not the way they want to work, and the reason they went solo. I totally undestand that, and it sure has its upsides, but also some downsides.

Quote from MAGGOT :

And with that, Canada has officially earned more gold medals than any other country ever in the winter olympics. Hells yea!

1 gold medal more than what we had as our best. But we still have the most total medals of all time.

Unless you have some special needs, the built-in soundcard should be good enough. I haven't personally had the need for a stand-alone soundcard, so dunno what's good or not. But the Creative one is an ok one I guess.

Quote from Alex_Ward :

Would this be any good? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172655

That would be fine yes.

The ones I listed as an example, would be only £20 more than the mb/cpu you listed. You could also save those £20 by going with a cheaper mb, making the cost excactly the same.

Edit: You also would need DDR3 memory, like these: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191175 (£20 cheaper than the DDR2 ones you listed )

Going for the newer 1156/1366 motherboards, and an i5/i7 CPU would be my advice.

For example:

Download, install, run.

My suggestion. CPU is dual-core, but it's the new 32nm one, so it should run fairly cool. It also has a built-in GPU, which could be handy if some problems with the stand alone gfx card occurs. Or you could go for the i5-750 for a tenner more.

Grats to Canada. Well played! (curling final)

Yesterdays high-end cards is today's low-end cards. Or something.

Quote from count.bazley :

Nope, the UK is 4 countries in much the same way the USA is 50 countries - England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are states in all but name. Nobody has an English passport for example, we are all citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Yet you have Scotland, England and Wales as separate countries in for example the football world cup championship.

Clown pants rules!

A bit odd that the UK, which consists of 4 countries, are competing as 1 nation in the Olympics. If Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark competed as Scandinavia, it would almost be the same, but we don't
This just crossed my mind while watching the curling match now between GBR and Norway, and hearing the Scottish accent.

Good stuff. And quite expensive stuff too, especially that motherboard.
Just remember to get a really good CPU cooler. That 130W CPU will make some massive heat.

Quote from Jakg :

Doesn't work.

Been there, tried it

Sucks if you own a PC with no optical drive (like more and more of them).

As long as there's no copy protection it should work. But if it has copy protection then it's more complicated yes. Then you most likely would need a no-cd crack.
