Quote from Jakg :

I'd go for a better PSU and an 8800GT.

It says the 8800GTS needs a 400W power supply. Is there something other than wattage I should be paying close attention to in a power supply?

I got bored, and decided to "put together" a PC on Newegg, no intention of purchasing. Little did I know, the Newegg preferred account thing that allows you to go a year without making a payment just MIGHT help me talk my mom into buying it.

Hopefully I can get my hands on it, and feel free to make any suggestions. I do not want suggestions that go much higher though

I have taken a look at Geforce Go GPU's, and it seems that HP Pavilion DV series is it's prime market. Hopefully it will be the same for mine. Thanks for the info Jack

Dan, i suggest you invest in a new power supply along with a graphics card. Next time you upgrade something, hopefully you shouldn't have to worry about how much power it consumes.

I know you guys are going to say something along the lines of "Buy/build a desktop computer.", but that is not an option for me at this time. I would greatly appreciate it if I could be given a hand with possibly finding a good graphics card that would work with my HP Pavillion DV6000t (1.6 ghz Core 2 Duo, 2 gb RAM). I don't seem to be having much luck at the moment, but maybe you guys can lend me some info.

Paramore is a pretty good band, Hayley looks a hell of a lot younger in the acoustic performance than in the music videos

I bought myself a good forum attendant after work/school.

Also, at the rate that the US dollar is going, by the time S3 is released, it might cost as much as a small house.

Yes, I agree. The US dollar has been plummeting recently. Get S2 and a good wheel ASAP.

2 topics in as many minutes xD

I went to MPH07 with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May...I didn't actually "go with them" I meant it was presented by them. It was good and all that, but amongst their many adverts, there was one for a car insurence company called "Perfomance Direct" They boasted great price (like them all, I have never heard a company boast of high prices :shrug but they specialise in Performance Car and all other car catagories.

When I past my test, as I'm sure you know, I will be driving a BMW 316i SE. My cheapest quote is £1400, but these guys seemed convincing. I tryed out their online quote system and it gave me a quote of...















...Wait for it...
























Premium: £4,563.65

So, it got me thinking..Whats the craziest insurence quote you've had?

How often do you have to pay? Every 6 months?

Wow. Dosen't seem like that would run out in any of our lifetimes. (IPV6 projected address pool)

Quote from harjun :

exciting...not really a backflip though

242 FPS? Finally managed to set up a damn good rig I see.

Hmm, Ive seen a system on the LTC race server that spectates you and cancels out your vote if you tried to vote for a restart/end.

Come on guys, this is embarassing. Turn your cloaking mechanisims off!

Actually, lower track tempratures help to provide more grip, and on some tracks, rediculously hot track tempratures bring up the oil in the track and reduce grip, as well as promoting overheated tires.
+1 for the idea.

You are welcome to use my Martinsville layout, good laptimes in the XRR are very close to a NEXTEL cup car at Martinsville.

Do you mean general racing or hotlapping? Because, there are a few different setups designed for drafting, and some for qualifying/hotlapping

Quote from Riders Motion :

lol... he cracks the game and you guys are encouraging him? lol rofl xD this thread is supposed to be deleted since the moment it was posted...

He did not crack the game, the barriers you see are the default placed ones that all users, demo, S1 and S2 alike will find on that track.

Hey dude can you make for me a kyoto national set (BF1).

Not until you buy S2

i got it via email (the one i provided when signing up) ....i found it in my spam folder though...have you checked that yet?

Ahh... I may have accidentally deleted it because I get spam up to my eyeballs.

Cmon guys, how are people supposed to get in without a password? I see that a lot of signed up racers are in the red because we don't have the password! (Including me)

You should get rid of anything Norton, it is crap. NOD32 and a good anti-spy app such as AVG is more than enough.
