I strongly disagree. I would say that the driver is the most significant factor. If it provides the features the card can support, the program will be fast. If the driver is not well written... well...
"It's not the driver that decides your laptimes..."
And another thing: not only they are a very important performance factor, they are a very important stability factor.
The code that a piece of hardware is executing (in this case, the driver and the program as a whole) is the limiting factor.
if my card can do vertex/fragment shaders, but the driver does not provide the proper arb extensions, i am fscked.
when turning the momo from -120 to +120, LFS behaves as if i turned the steering wheel of the real car from -120 to +120 AND the car's wheels turn as if i had turned the real life car steering wheel from -120 to +120.
i have a momo wheel, 240 degrees.
i use dxtweak2 and i set it so that the way i use the momo wheel is the same way i would use it in the real car and the car's actual wheels would steer the proper amount left or right
for instance, in lx6 i have 12 degrees of wheel rotation which correctly correspond to both the virtual wheel and the real wheel.
when racing you should not need more than 12 degrees anyway
if you have an option to try and you see that it is safe to try, there are four possible outcomes
you try it and it works
you try it but it doesn't work
you don't try it, but it would work
you don't try it, but it wouldn't work
as you see, the only way you can reach a solution is if you try every option (that is safe)
addition: also: what i posted was not meant to tell ou to change the aperture size and simply, only, that. you got to google for stuff. i found out that there are people who (from what i understand from here and there) have similar problems with this combination.
considering that no software is perfect, using antivirus software patches some holes, but adds new to any system.
you lose performance and usability
you don't gain anything
those who don't know enough about "computers" they will manage to get a virus even with antivirus software (my gf managed to get a virus within hours of a new xp sp2 installation. WITH antivirus.)
Those who know, don't need it. in 20 years of experience (and not-entirely-legal activities) i have one time gotten a virus. in 1992 or thereabouts on a diskette with Crystal Caves.
terrorism has so many different 'translations' that anyone names anything terrorism.
if you think it means "using terror to make people do things", then bush is the terrorist. "you are either with us or against us" "we need to go to war otherwise they will strike again!" etc
tight, carefuly laid out code, doesn't need automatic cleanup. the code you write does the housekeeping on its own. but that's just my control-freak self who has spent too many nights coding assembler on calculators :hide:
a couple nutcases under the orders of some extremist group hijacked a plane and crashed it into the two towers. that's what happened? something so simple seems to be implausible for conspiracy theorists
no government as incompetent as the us one can keep such a huge conspiracy hidden
"terrorism" either real or imaginary is a tool to keep the sheeple focused at a specific issue (real or imaginary, easier to swallow if it's real) and forget that they live in George Orwell's World.
