Was he drunk when he said that? I've never heard of such a thing...
But we got free health care, so I guess it kinda makes up for the ridiculously high car prices. Even in Sweden, our neighbor country, car prices are half of what they are here, and they don't earn half of what we earn here.

True, the wages may be a bit higher here, but car prices are still way higher here compared to other countries when taking that into account. The reason is that we have a lot of taxes on cars. And I mean a lot! Especially on more powerful cars, as the taxes gets bigger and bigger the more powerful the car is.

Yeah, the car prices there are ridiculously low compared to what they are here. For example, a Nissan GTR R35 costs about £60,000 there I think. Over here it costs close to £200,000! Insane!

Quote from Shadowww :6000+ is just a model.
You downclock frequency not model u know.

That's what I meant, downclock to same freq as a 5000+
Anyway, I think it's probably a mobo/cpu compatibility issue.

BB, it's the 0902 bios you installed? That's the latest as I can see.
If you haven't tried it, reset bios defaults to standard.

I wonder if underclocking it to for example a 5000+ would make any difference?

Hmm, according to this, the mobo supports the 89W version, but no mention of the 125W one.

Take a look at the Advanced Power Settings in Win7. There's some settings there regarding throttling. Expand the "Processor power management" branch to see. Defaults are 5% for "Mininum processor state", Active for "System cooling policy" and 100% for Maximum processor state. You might wanna try and increase the minimum value to see if it gets any better. Or you could simply select the High Performance plan instead I guess.

Quote from Jakg :Also liked Shotglasses option of this - shame its so far away. Insurance is about £150 more, and fuel would be around £600 more... but worth it, surely! Only problem is i'm geussing anything that goes wrong is going to be mega expensive to fix, surely?

Had one for 6 years, and it's a fun car. I don't think parts are much more expensive than for other cars, but with that age you have to expect stuff to break sooner or later, so repair costs could be high. Especially if you have to put in a new turbo. Also rust could be a major problem. And it's also rather thirsty on fuel, unless you drive around like an old granny. But that's not fun in such a car.

I now have a diesel car, and are very happy with that. Can drive for ages before refueling.

It hangs at "Processing" for a while, then a blank page comes up.

There's some problems logging in atm. It hangs after inputting username/password. Also Airio stopped working after I did an update to 2.3.5c yesterday.

Chasing for a 1:31 at BL1/XFG. I think I ended up with a 1:31.6x (WR was low 1:31.5x if I remember), before the new physics came.

Quote from Tomhah :there's no "might", IT IS competive at SO :P And Arco, if you wanna drive FXR, sign up for iTCC!

Nah, haven't really been driving it for ages, so I'm just as a slow poke in it now as in the other GT cars.

Wait a minute... why not give the FXR the advantage for once? It's getting boring to see the FZR win all the time, so to see something else do that would be a breath of fresh air. You do know that in real life racing, when a car has been too dominant, it has happened that the car has been banned or restrictions has been imposed on it?

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I don't get it. Why would this be any better to use than regular Google Mail? Looks more like a blog/facebook kind of thing to me.

It's "Most famous", not "Famoust". And btw, yet another pointless thread/poll on this forum.

Quote from Shadowww :Why would you use WinRAR when there is a better and free alternative? e.g. 7zip

I'll admit it's been a few years since I've last tried it, and back then I didn't like its GUI very much. So I stuck with WinRAR.
