I was gonna say no but after pricing up the exact same components it's actually cheap (but I would go to a US based site and check for yourself).
You could save money on the processor and motherboard and still get the same performance but....meh.
The base system is good (motherboard, CPU, RAM and H/D) and will last for a while, the only thing you'll be looking to upgrade at a later time would be the graphics card.
Depends on what kinda of race and how much time you have to prepare, i.e Do you have a set already, does it need tweaking, how long is the race, etc, etc.
I don't remember being such a retard when I was 13 -15. It's more like they are 6 or 7.
You can see them in other threads as well, there must be some sort of retard beacon that attracts them all together in one place...oh wait, there is...cruise servers (sorry answered my own question).
That's what you get when the criteria for joining a team is to just about have the brain to click reply. And because they don't know each other, the falling out starts and then infects everything else.
Perfect reason to keep this stuff away from here..far, far away..and on their own forums (not make a section here, it would be a nightmare of girly bitching).
I don't think Massa will be back racing this season.
Problem is that the information that came out was different depending on who it came from so I dunno how serious it really was. What I mean by that is was it life threatening like some sources suggested, career threatening or what?
It will max LFS out with no problems.
It's probably too big to take to school with you, add all the cables, screen and everything else you'd be in a right mess.
Browsing the internet...are you serious?
Downloading fast has nothing to do with your computer.
If the devs ever added cruising specific content as suggested it would be the day I'd leave LFS as it would be an indicator that things were moving in the wrong direction.
Computers specs.
Internet connection (shared or not).
Modem/router.
Firewall.
Wireless or cable.
Does it happen in any other games.
Any problems with downloading or streaming vids.
Slightly better desription of the problem "...with LFS saying "Connection lost" or something like that..." is kinda like saying I can't be arsed to read what it says, just fix it.
Intel will come out on top but the new AMD's are just as good. You'll never notice any performance difference, get which ever one fits your budget.
Don't listen to the AMD/Intel fanyboys and anti-fanboys (cause they are just as bad), they are too blinkered to know anything at all or give good advice.
Like people have said, pre-built systems normally have a great spec but then a shitty graphics card so just watch out for that and you'll be fine.
Before anyone can suggest anything you need a budget.
I have vista with no problems at all, if you buy anything close to a half decent PC it will run it. Just because your parents have a brand new PC doesn't mean the spec isn't shiiiiiiit some where. Sorry that's a little harsh but the words brand new really doesn't mean it's fast/any good.
Have to back up George here, the people suggesting more RAM really don't know much/anything. It will not help with FPS in any game at all. The only benefit from more RAM will be loading times...if you're lucky.
My PC (the important bits, motherboard, hard drives mean nothing for this):
That runs LFS totally maxed out and vista with absolutely no problems, was the same even when I had 2GB of RAM, only got 8 cause it was an amazing offer.
EDIT: Just read your last post. Set the AA/AF to 0 just to make sure, when looking for FPS they should be the first to go.
