I run a P3 900mhz 128MB of RAM laptop with XP and it runs fine for web browsing.

PCI is useless for gaming, the bus speed is so slow that almost all graphics cards surpass it. You would be much better off with a new computer.

The Demonoid trackers are still running as normal.Trackers basically connect you to the peers that also have the file. The website is down though so that means you now can't obtain any .torrent files hosted on Demonoid.

Wired has an article providing more information:

(You can add this to the first post if you want.)

I doubt Demonoid is down for good. They always pull through, like The Pirate Bay. I hope they arn't down for long though.

Are you running any software firewalls? What router are you using?

(BTW, your computer makes me very jealous )

Just finished the download at a constant 142KB/sec (max download speed for me) from Filefront.

Gonna check it out once it installs.

Maybe he brake the front and then wheelie with reverse gear?

That's a stoppie, not a wheelie.

Quote from J.B. :

Just measured with a cheap plastic measuring thingy I bought a while ago.

Windows desktop: 90 W
S3: 9 W
PC Off: 7 W

That means the PC needs roughly 10€ per year just for being plugged in, and using S3 doesn't have any significant effect.

But the real question is wtf is the PSU using 7 W switched off? I know it's not much but it's still a waste.

Did you check it even with nothing plugged in, or like a lamp that is off plugged in. The meter could be off as you said it was cheap.

EDIT: Also, while the computer is off, it uses a little bit of power to keep the time accurate aswell as a few other things.

Hmm Jakg, I've been meaning to put together a light copy of XP to install on my system, could you maybe shoot some links my way to help me set up such a thing?

Do some research here, I have personally never used it but have heard good things about it.

I have never heard of it before but judging from the pictures I see, it doesn't look half bad.

I'm not really into GH but my brother preordered the 3rd one like 2 weeks ago.

Which iPod is it? Try resetting it and then leaving it plugged into the computer to recharge.

When was the last time you defragmented?

I have the MX518, It is a little different (shape wise) from the normal cheap mice but you get used to it very quickly as it more comfortably supports your hand. You will love it's accuracy and movement whether your going for head shots in CS:S, or editing pictures.

You can use two sound cards? I don't see the point of why you can't play everything out of one sound card.

How do you have the second set of pedals wired up? (Like do you run them through the Formula wheel, hidden from view, and into USB)

Don't forget the latest drivers for your card:

I like the FO8 drift

Wouldn't you have to tap the brake to shift up then?

I love Weird Al, I have like 20 of his songs, including this one.

BTW, the second one is the original and better quality.

Make sure you take everything you want off of it first, formating a drive to NTFS will erase everything on it!

I heard they are practically the same as the Core 2 Duo's (Overclocking and performance wise) if you don't count having less cache and only one core.
