Quote from Pablo Donoso :

I'm not that good with the FOX, but if it's with intake restriction, I'm sure everyone will be pretty evenly matched. lol I'll start practicing.

You'd be wrong. The fast drivers will win, the slow drivers will lose. It never fails.

It's not like the FOX really needs less power either...

Quote from tristancliffe :

*IAM, for you non-UK-ers, is the "Institute of Advanced Motorists". Basically the UK's largest driver improvement group. They do lots of advanced tuition and testing, and it's meant to be a similar sort of standard as Police driver training without the blue-light bits. As such they only condone driving techniques from the 1950s, and seem to have a barely adequate grasp of vehicle dynamics or operation. Ignore pretty much everything they say, and don't waste your time or money joining them or taking their 'test'.

The MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) is similar here in the US. Their class is aimed at brand new riders on a wide range of bikes. However, once you get out in the real world, you realize there are much better ways of doing things than they teach. One particular example is their advocacy of heavy rear brake use. On a cruiser/chopper, this makes some sense due to the weight distribution and center of gravity height. On a sportbike, it does not, since the front brake is capable of lifting the rear wheel off the ground. Even on a standard-class bike, the rear brake is often more trouble that it's worth.

Maybe a yellow Ducati?

Rossi's first NSR500 was yellow, as was the Camel M1.

Is this another thread about the TBO class and FZ5?

That reeeally makes me question how much time you have on your hands at 5:30 AM.

And you? You are so tired, that you forgot to notice that we are not in the same timezone It's noon here

You mean there are time zones outside the US!? Preposterous!

America! Frell yeah!!!

Looks like the guy on the end is in the grass in the side pic, and chinstrap chav just spun out in the behind pic.

As for all the whinging... :chair:

Quote from Valentino Rossi :

It is very difficult to explain in just a few words what my relationship with Yamaha has been in these past seven years. Many things have changed since that far-off time in 2004, but especially ‘she', my M1, has changed. At that time she was a poor middle-grid position MotoGP bike, derided by most of the riders and the MotoGP workers. Now, after having helped her to grow and improve, you can see her smiling in her garage, courted and admired, treated as the ‘top of the class'.

The list of the people that made this transformation possible is very long, but I would like to thank anyway Masao Furusawa, Masahiko Nakajima and ‘my' Hiroya Atsumi, as representatives of all the engineers that worked hard to change the face of our M1. Then Jeremy Burgess and all my guys in the garage, who took care of her with love on all the tracks of the world and also all the men and women that have worked in the Yamaha team during these years.

Now the moment has come to look for new challenges; my work here at Yamaha is finished. Unfortunately even the most beautiful love stories finish, but they leave a lot of wonderful memories, like when my M1 and I kissed for the first time on the grass at Welkom, when she looked straight in my eyes and told me ‘I love you!'

:cry:

Quote from shaun463 :

You forgot the case, vistaman. Cases are cheap anyways so - that would be a good system.

He forgot more than that. You need:

- CPU
- motherboard
- RAM
- video card
- hard drive (I like buying 2 and running them in RAID1)
- CD/DVD/BR drive
- case
- PSU (chances are if the case comes with one it'll be junk)
- sound card (unless you don't mind the integrated audio)
- keyboard
- mouse
- heatsink and fan (for the CPU)

Assuming you don't need a monitor, you can build a seriously killer system for $1500. If you do need a monitor you're going to have to start making comprimises.

I'm a little behind the times, I guess. Just found 'em. Love 'em.

Quote from Bass-Driver :

the chance is that the cpu is bottle necking the GTX 460.

bottle necking is when one part limits another part, ie your gpu can process 300 fps, but than your cpu can only do 200fps of the cpu side of things therefore a bottleneck of 100fps

try to google about bottle necking

The bottle neck is not defined by the difference in capabilities of the various subsystem. It's defined by the weakest link.

Assuming his CPU is the bottleneck, a certainty under LFS especially with his setup, I'm certain it is capable of more than 20fps in LFS.

FWIW, my previous PSU was an Antec 550W with two 12V rails rated at 19A each. My system would crash after about 30 to 60 minutes of playing MW2 with a 9800GTX.

I recently replaced it with a Seasonic X750 with a single 12V rail rated at 62A. So far, MW2 has been running great for hours on end.

AFAIK, lateral and longitudinal forces do not directly affect the rate of heat generation in a tire. The three primary factors are ambient temperature, carcas flex (from vertical load), and slip, although I think the latter has little effect on the carcas heating, at least at small slip levels or durations.

Quote from 318is :

You still think I am lackin power?

What is the rating on the 12V rail of the PSU? How many Amps?

Foilpact: No, the GTX460 is a single-GPU card. It still draws a ton of power.

I doubt your PSU is up to the task of powering that card. Does it even have the two 6-pin PCI-E power connectors that you need to plug into the card?

The GTX460 1GB has a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 160 Watts. For reference, this translates to a current draw of 13.3 Amps. Even if it does have the PCI-E power connectors, I doubt the 12V rail on your PSU is capable of supplying this amount of power.

Those PCI-E power connectors plug in here:

Quote from JJ72 :

The cars are pretty close in that series, and some interesting mix of cars as well, porsches, ferraris, vipers, vettes, spykers and even a morgan (well that's mine). There's a success ballast system which might not be to everyone's liking, but it keeps things close.

Success ballast is every bit as stupid as push-to-pass.

You mean that boring, heavy, underpowered, electronic nanny-laden, front-wheel drive thing?

*SPLAT* Soon.

See my posts above.

FYI, the F-14 is more an interceptor, not really a (dog)fighter like most of the others (F-15, F-16, F/A-18, F-22).
