A 10% discount ticket, which only costs 5% less? Sorry i just had to say something .

90% of £135.00 = £121.50

Josh

Quite right, made a typo *blush*

Yeah, that would be 90 quid with the discount for 2 and a half hours.

Hey, I've decided yesterday, that I'm going to go for the driving experiences in Knockhill. I got a 10% discount ticket, so instead of its original 135 quid, its gonna cost me 121.50 .

http://www.knockhill.com/vouchers/silver/voucher.php?vID=39 - theres the link.

Has anyone had any driving experience in Knockhill? Would be nice to know if the money is worth the drive.


EDIT: Found a cheaper one, with same cars, same time durance. Changed link.

Perhaps another time .

That is an awesome idea, you should make this annually or a 3 month time event.

Take Gentlefoot's advice, I've been in their ATC GP of Blackwood, and it was phenominal!

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

Dunno why ur posting a video about Need For Speed here...

Read more into it dude.

Could you withdraw me from the race please. I have a BF1 race league to attend to around that time of the ATC GP.

Well the only reason I bought that motherboard, was because I had that decent graphics card for a year.

It doesnt stop me from changing it next year. I found that it would be a waste to get rid of a decent graphics card.

It'd be cheap to replace anyway, since I have the processor and RAM, and other specs needed.

Quote from Jakg :

" 256MB Nvidia Graphics Card AGP X8. " isnt very descriptive!

DX10 is DirectX 10, most cards are DX9, and with Vista some games (ie those ones that look really good) will need DX10 (which will only work on Vista) and a DX10 card, AGP, don't know, but they are coming out soon (ie by the end of the year), which means if they are AGP, you can buy a lot faster card (i hear the new line will be the 8xxxx, and that the 8600 will cost the same as a 7600, but run as fast as a 7900GT, but if its AGP it will be slower (the poorest quality cards get underclocked and made AGP, yet cost more im afraid), and if they dont come in AGP (or you cant afford them!), then the prices of the other graphics cards will fall as thier is "a new kid on the block"

Personally im waiting for the 8600, but i also know once i buy it i'll eBay my 6600GT's and get virtually nothing for them (in fact their the same speed as a stock 6800GT, only you need an SLi mobo to get them working so ill get even less)

I edited it, forgot to put the 6800GT on it. *blush* Thanks for clearing it up.

Quote from Jakg :

whats your current graphics card? and can you wait for DX10 cards? remember, dual core isnt amazing quicker just yet

Read my post again Jakg, I posted my graphics card

What are the DX10 cards? Will they be AGP made? If not. I may have to go for Geforce 7 series in the end. When do they come out?

I got this new PC a few weeks ago, with these specifications.

Athlon 3500+ 64 Bit (Venice)
2GB RAM PC3200
256MB Nvidia Graphics Card 6800GT AGP X8.

The motherboard does support Athlon X2. *which was why I got the motherboard in the first place*

Ever since I have heard the improvements of the Athlon X2, I'm excited of getting one myself. I could afford it now if I want to, but I'm settled with what I have for the moment. I do intend of getting it after new year, where it should be cheaper by then.

Also, I am interested of getting a new graphics card. The gforce 7 series.

What do you think?

Wet weather races? Hell yeah.

That would be awesome, especially for championship racing.

I just heard. May he rest in peace.

That actually stops me from playing the Croc Man games completely, altough I haven't seen them in years.

I often thought of him as many others, that would pass away with old age.

Like Eddie Gurreruo, or Bruce Lee. Such a shame he left too soon.

It's starting to get on my nerves now. I've been playing on my new PC with LFS for weeks now. And I've been starting to get "Send Error Report problem" and the PC would sometimes reboot itself, and not give a reason at the startup.

I'll send over the detals of that "Send Error" report when I can, don't have the screenshots for it at the moment.

Has anyone else had that problem at all? All my other games work fine.

Im chatting to my friends online.

R.I.P Dave. Such a shame.

Does anyone else have their LFS crash with or without the Patch at all? I seem to be having that problem lately.

Thanks.

Could someone pm me the password please?

So qualifying would be at 8PM GMT.

Thanks.

What time is CEST in GMT?

Heh I won't bother after all .

Thank you for the help lads, I have my pc back up and running.

I do have one question.

Which AA and AF settings maxes out the LFS?

I have mine at 8xS and 16x at the moment.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

You'll have to flash the bios back to the standard settings. Not sure exactly how though.

btw FSB=front side bus

Thanks mate .

Can anyone help how I can get to the BIOs and set it back to normal?

The monitor light flashes, *monitor works* and I can't get any further.

Ok I'm in a right pickle. I was searching around in BIOs, just familarizing myself, and looking about on my PC. I accidently set the CPU FSB (Clock) *that is as much as I can remember* from 204, to 250. Don't ask how, I have trigger fingers.

And because it was saved to a "CSMOS" *can't remember the name* The PC doesn't boot itself up properly anymore.

Accidental, but I am sure it is fixable.

How do I solve this problem?

I was thinking of overclocking my CPU just to see how much of an improvement LFS would be.

Here is the components I have.

Athlon 3500+ XP 64 Bit
2GB PC3200 RAM
Nvidia 6800GT 256MB AGPX8

I just changed the settings on my graphics card to add Antialising Setting from "None" to 8xS, and Anisotropic Filtering to 16x.

On my previous settings, both Antialising Setting and Anisotropic Filtering were switched off. And on the race I would have 50+ onto T1 from the back of the grid, and 90 when racing alone. *only because I set the max fps to 100*

On the new settings. It's 40+ to T1 and 70+ FPS during the race. Just thinking of overclocking the Processor, to see how much better of a performance it would be. But before I do:

What is the consequence of overclocking processors?
Is it recommended?
How would I overclock it? Via Bios?

Any help would be appreciated.
