Quote from mcintyrej :If it gets to no.1 then great!

BUT.

I'm pretty sure this whole thing is a marketing scam by Sony. They own the rights and gain profit from both of the singles being put up against each other - the only real winner in this is Sony.

BUT.

If you buy the single to object to x factor Sony get the money so does it matter who started it? I have no problems with Sony getting money for songs and I didn't buy the song so much in objection to x factor more that would be lolz to have it as a christmas number 1.

Quote from Johnny Mountain :The extra 'z' means that he's sleeping.

Exactly! If he is sleeping he is not on this forum or playing LFS 24/7 so therefore not entitled to a voucher code

So what that he turns up in a Merc? Name one executive saloon that Ferrari have made? If he wants a car to just drive around in comfort ofcourse he will drive another car. Maybe he is joining Mercedes, maybe not but either way I would say him getting out of a Merc is pure coincidence to the situation.

Quote from zeugnimod :Compared to Alonso, he is.

IMO.

Its hard to compare due to them never racing wheel to wheel. A couple years ago I would of agreed but I think Massa has matured alot as a driver and really found his speed. Should be an interesting inter-team battle.

Eh? I think you did something wrong

Downloaded the DLC last night and I have to say, if the R35 really hanndles anything like that, I can see why so many people love it. I found I could provoke it to understeer or oversteer but without provoking it, it just corners so easily.

Also: Congrats Blueflame, you should enjoy it.

While I hope KITNO will reach #1, and if it does I ROFL loudly but even if it doesn't, will be funny to see a 17 year old song in the charts again.

Quote from DeKo :Engage brain and guess.

There was me thinking it was the total distance walked to their PC's daily.

TBH it shows the popularity of LFS, but that Volvo is amazing. I thought the couple of cars my dads taken over 400k was high.

Quote from BBC Sport :
Should he return, Schumacher would go head-to-head with fellow world champions Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

That would be awesome, especially if all are going for the champsionship. Not forgetting Massa, Vettel and Webber could be challengers too.

Quote from BBC Sport :Alonso, champion in 2005 and 2006, will spearhead Ferrari's challenge following his move from Renault.

Did someone forget Massa? I know he hasn't won a WDC but hes got so close and definatly is no slouch in a F1 car.

From what you said Migz sounds nice. Though will have to be something special to beat Relentless Juice (green can).

I won't make any pussy jokes, that would be below the belt . . . . oh cock! . . . . . . Damnit!

There is also one called Semtex but can't remember where it is from.

After playing quite a bit recently, I have to say I hate the people who run around with marathon, you run so fast that usually by time that I have spotted them and got to tracking them they get out of sight L I have been playing around with C4 recently, not all that great for kills but good for the lolz. Sticking it to the wall and waiting for someone to walk past or sticking it in camping spots and pulling the trigger randomly results in quite a few kills. Though, on some levels I have found it better to use C4 than claymores as they are harder to see. Best I have found for it is on Scrapyard (I think, the one with all the broken planes in the middle, I am rubbish remembering the names) if you climb the ladder to the top of the building at the end, you can see claymores at the top of the ladder from the floor but so hard to spot C4. Shoot out the windows until someone climbs the ladder and the blow them up.

In terms of guns though, I tried the ACR and I can’t get on with it, whether it is true or just my perception but takes longer to kill with then say my other guns. I tend to use a mix of either M16(holo sight & FMJ), FAL (acog & FMJ) or AUG HBAR (holo sight & grip) as primary and PP2000 (holo sight & extended clip) or Akimbo Rangers for secondary. With the extra damage perk, so easy to kill with whether close up or at a distance.

Wondering though what games does everyone play? I have tried all the play lists but I keep returning to free for all. Just generally find it more fun than the others, don’t know why.

Money isn't really tight, just going to wait to pay day anyway as its only Monday I was thinking about just adding 1 gb but as runs dual channel and the price isn't that alot really I might as well go for 2gb

I shall keep that list in mind if/when I come to buy anymore RAM.

@geezmoor: Yh those are the ones I thought I could use

Thanks for the help guys I noticed looking at prices the DDR is more but oh well. There is a couple of little PC shops by me which I want to try to see if they got it cheaper, but I doubt it. Roll on payday

32 bit xp and yes I can afford 2gb. Which if my assumptions above are correct would be best as 2 x 1Gb?

Edit: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/98690 is about the best I can find, anyone know if its possible to get it cheaper?

Quote from need :PC3200 is DDR400 memory. See here
You'll get your best results by using 2 sticks of the same speed RAM.

Stupid question time: So your saying PC3200 is DDR400, which the '400' means it is 400mhz? so the RAM in my PC is actually 400mhz not 200mhz?

If I am right, then another stick of 512mb DDR400 will compliment what I already have in my PC. Which leads to a query of mixing brands of RAM. Reading up on it, it seems it is best to use the same brand. Which if I have got my head round this means my best option is to buy 2 new sticks of DDR400 RAM.

In which case why does my PC show it as 200mhz? Edit: Answered above already

Quote :What motherboard you have would help, as that determines what speed of ram the system can use. ie. if the motherboard is limited to 200MHz, then putting 400MHz ram in won't make it faster, the ram will still run at 200MHz.

Only name I can find is Winfast NF4UK8AA and what I can find on google, I can use upto 4Gb of DDR400 RAM.

RAM Query

Hi all.

I have been planning on upgrading my PC for a while but due to the cost of it I am looking at making my system a little more bearable so I am looking at upgrading the RAM in my PC but I have got right confused so I have a few questions.

My current ram is 512mb PC3200 but only 200mhz, I can only find 400mhz though. So the way I can see from my tiny bit of knowledge is I have the following options:
1. Mix the the different sticks of RAM but the 400mhz will be limited to 200mhz.
2. Pull out my 200mhz and just have a stick of 400mhz.

But im running AMD that supports dual channel which from what I believe means its better to run a 'pair' so
3. Run my 200mhz and 400mhz as a pair (if this is possible, I don't know)
4. Pull out my 200mhx and replace with a pair of 400mhz

So which is the better route for me?

If you need further system info just ask

Thanks in advance, Greboth.

Never done prestige before, does it just reset your level back to 0? or does it lock the weapeons/killstreaks etc too? and if its level 70 I am halfway there lol.

Playing a lot of free for all online at the moment depending on map my choice is either

This is from memory so may have got some wrong way round. They are not good for distance but free for all uses the smaller maps so it is ok. I want to try out other combo’s but getting a good number of kills with these combo’s so I keep using them.

P90 with ACOG and rapid fire
PP2000 with extended clip and holographic site
Bling pro
Ninja
Hardline pro

Or

P90 with rapid fire and FMJ
PP2000 with silencer and holographic site

I thought I would add my 2c.

Going from experience, a job is a job in the end. You can find a job you love like nothing else, but do it for 40+ hours a week and for a couple of years and I will be surprised if there is anyone who isn’t bored of it. That is not to say it doesn’t offer challenges anymore (new projects/promotion etc) but more that it becomes mostly mundane / same old same old. Ofcourse I would love a job that interests me and challenges my knowledge and lets me learn new things and also pays well. However out of the two options of one or the other, I would go for the more pay boring job. Reason being this: You need a work life balance in which you have time to work and time to relax and do what you want. If there is nothing really to do at work then it wont stress you out (though may lead to extreme boredom at times lol) but if it pays well you will be financially secure (again less stress) and able to do what you want outside of work which from my perspective weighs in favour of life not work. I have had an interesting job but unfortunately it paid so little I could just about survive but couldn’t do anything in the evening or weekends so they were spent sat at home now though I earn enough to be able go out at weekends, see friends etc that though my new job is less interesting I am happier.

We spend a lot of time in work yes and hopefully you enjoy it but to pick one I would favour the more pay for the advantages you get outside of work.

Pure and simple: Don't believe it until it is confirmed. I don't really see any reason why it couldn't be and would be awesome to have Hamilton, Button, Massa, Alonso, Vettel and Schumacher all on track at once.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :I've spoken to them about it. They say it is there policy as using your current hard drive can apparently cause errors.

Really sucks as it's 2 years of save games down the drain.

I know with mine, when I took it back the guy in the shop swapped mine over. So he just opened a new xbox up and swapped the hard drives round so I got mine back.

I don't know about messing up but I know you can loose some data. I plugged my hard drive in a mates xbox and even though was on my GT i couldn't access the downloaded content or vip cars.
