It doesn't matter, just because it's an nvidia chipset doesn't mean you have to use an nvidia card. You can use any card you want, the chipset is universal.
Guy, you started this thread on the 9th and you still don't even know your local track, hardly a good start to your clearly epic racing career that would require masses of time, dedication, motivation, money and drive.
I have no idea how you would start, there has been lots of advice but maybe you should try going to a karting track/centre, one of those where you and your mates go to race each other and actually try it, they might even have a league or organised events.
Talk to Leprerkuan, he was going to be the next F1 champion.
There are going to be lots of armchair heros suggesting what to buy/what not to buy which is basically useless, unless they suggest something you've not thought of.
What you really need is useable info about the cars you like from someone who has one. Running costs, problems, insurance that kind of thing.
Posting a Subaru is nice but I know for a fact they are not cheap to run and don't get great MPG.
Sorry Jakq but after all the threads and all the stuff you say you wanted and then you go a pick this (nothing wrong with the car) you have no idea what you want.
Buy the damn car and never make a thread about buying cars again.
Looks like you need to do more than a little re-wiring to get that to work, so you'd have to take the DFP apart anyway (which would help you remove the gear knob)
How does it connect to the DFP's gear lever switches/wires/connectors?
Problem is that if you skimp on the wheel you will lose out on the plus points it brings to the game(s). You can use the wheel for other games as well.
Second hand Logitech momo or driving force pro (if you can find one with your £) would probably be your best bet.
As for tuts for driving the bigger cars, the bigger cars really need a progressive throttle, like a pedal. Basically you need time driving them, there is no short cut. Driving the less powerful RWD drive will help.
No. LFS doesn't make use of multi-cores. With the newer CPU's the architecture makes them run things better, don't use the ghz's as a performance comparison marker (like you could in the good old days). And RAM really won't help at all with FPS, thats more for load times.
You just need a newer system, nothing special at all.
Can't remember about the change log but as the z'ds go up assume so does the usage requirments. From what you've been saying it wouldn't take much to tip your system over the edge.
The important bits of mine that will make a difference to LFS FPS, Intel e6750 (2.66ghz) and a 8800GS graphics card, everything maxed out and no FPS isssues at all.
.....it should at least run LFS a bit better than that, what grahics card to you have? You could trying giving your system a good clean up, not with a hover! I mean running spyware, anti-virus, clean up software, defrag (meh, I know) loads of stuff.
Obviously make sure you're not running anything else, MSN and the like, will cost you a few FPS.
Yeah but the incident was an accident, if anything you caused it then wanted someone else banned for it.
You got a ban for swearing, taking into account your history a decision was made on the length of time which you don't think is fair.
Instead of politely asking for clarification or a shortening of the ban you've started multiple threads, many, many posts insulting the people who take time and money out of their lives so you have a server to race in.
Why should they listen you to you after that, why should they let you race?
