Thanks man, I called in and had it activated. One more thing, Windows reports that there is 223 GB free out of 298 when im only using around 23 GB of space?

When I installed my copy of Vista Home Premium on my PC, it was running XP, and was connected to the internet. I typed in the activation code, and it went through without a problem. When I tried the same thing on my laptop a few months before, I got the key wrong a couple of times, but when I got it right, it went through without any problems. Now, on my desktop PC, when I go into the Control Panel, I see that Windows reports that it is NOT activated, and when I try to activate it, it tells me that the product key is already in use. I did go back to XP on my laptop after a driver failure, what could be wrong?

it's a momo .... wait.. is it a dfp?

btw nice system got the same only with no gfx card and Asus P5kc.. im still damn waiting for it.. (8800GT)..

It's a Sidewinder FFB. I need a new heatsink because the copper that contacts the CPU is scratched, one core runs a constant 4C higher than the other.

Since the patch isn't released yet, shouldn't it be called a preview?

Leo Roberts sets a world record by being the first 2-year-old driver in a racing series. (Yes, this is Scawen's son (How old is Leo really?))

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

How does the cost of a case make any difference in your computer?! Does it make it go to 6 GHZ!!!?

He is saying he bought a bad quality case, probably too small to fit everything in, and bad airflow.

Where is your wheel?!? :cry:

I don't keep it on my desk all the time, but i do keep the pedals where I use them

Let's BUMP this thread up a bit.

My new rig:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz
EVGA Geforce 8800GTS 640MB
Cooler Master case
BIOSTAR mobo
750W PSU
Seagate 320GB HDD

Not Google Translator? Then what did you use? Btw anyone know why EMO NASCAR is banned?

Admitted to cracking in a PM.

By the way, how would one apply thermal paste to a graphics card heatsink or whatever?

Quote from JTbo :

So, tomorrow it has been one month since I did place order, still no parts, those 8800GT cards seem to be rare items :P

Even though I (unknowingly) got price raped by ordering an 8800GTS, at least I wont have to wait until January to get a good graphics card now.

I boned myself over and didn't listen to Jack when I got my rig. Ordered an 8800GTS along with my new rig yesterday, I plan on returning it as soon as it arrives and getting a GT. Hopefully they will allow me to replace the GTS with the GT on the 1-year payment plan I have.

Quote from Shotglass :

so what you meant to say was that the ai is realistic ?

WRONG. Don't let ignorance take you over. The dirt to Daytona AI are about 3-4 seconds slower than the real NASCAR drivers at Watkins Glen.

Looks like the new rig is mine
But, I have to wait until Christmas to put it together.

You want positive camber for the left tires, more for front, quite a bit less in back, and negative camber in the right side tires.

BTW, I signed it, im signature #10,545.

Quote from james12s :

it happened in caterbury, people moved near the speadway track then moaned and it got shut down, i agree that i would love to live next to a race track, alot of people dont realise how much technology from racing makes it way into cars, ide say to them, ok shut it down but you have to drie round in a benz patent motor wagon in the middle of winter lol, they should be building more race tracks not closing them

As I said, race tracks are being closed because of the idiots that move there and complain about the noise. Obviously they are too stupid to know that the noise would be present at races.

Another case of some idiots knowingly moving close to a race track, then complaining about the noise. Figures.

Quote from harjun :

lol, well my computer consists of a "E21xx-s!", and happily runs LFS at over 200fps, thus me calling is a Gaming PC, so please.....

Wow, just imagine an E6750 and an 8000GTS! (also from many reviews I read, If you have a case with good airflow, you can overclock to 3.2 GHz on stock cooling!)

I'd love to have it, but shipping rates between continents are astronomical, and i doubt any company would ship anything that large for non-commercial use

The LOD is the amount of detail you see of another car at a distance. The lower you have it, the lower the detail will be. Also, lowering it helps your FPS. But, I agree with what Jack and Harjun said, you need a better CPU.

Great video, absolutely hilarious!

Little did the two men know, the Acura had lost its steering, the throttle had stuck, and it was headed straight for them. Good thing there's a wall

Quote from harjun :

yes, make sure you don't go and skimp on the PSU, that's the main thing

I switched up to a 600W PSU, last thing I want to do is return and exchange for another.

I find the Corsair's a bit too expensive for my liking.
