A real fun car to drive. Just like a big hairy fox! I seem to be slighly more competitive with it than with a fox.

I put a poll in this topic. Its not that I question wether I could get a decent pc for the money. I'ts more about getting that little extra bang for buck.

Motherboard is unusable. Gigabyte GA-7DXE.
Socket A (no potential for upgrading)
pc1600 memory (Not for sale anymore)

So upgrading is a no-go

About 450 euro's. I'm not gonna build it myself but have it assembled at a (reasonably priced) store. The only part that I could nominate for reuse are the cd/dvd drives. Everything I use now sucks ass.

Athlon xp 2000 (socket A)
265MB pc1600 (200mhz) Not compatible with memory sold today
64MB gforce

It keeps restarting or freezing on me.

I can have a system for about 300 euro's that will accept LFS. Where's the money best spent for that little extra performance?

I've got a Thrustmaster dual trigger. A ps2-like controler with xbox-like triggers. Excelent brake and throttle control with the split axis.

Highly recommended for anyone who doesn't have the money, space nor relationship to have a wheel. (al apply on me).

I want to assemble a new pc. The problem is: I'm on a budget. I need to set priorities.

Where should I put the money?
Motherboard?
Processor? athlon/sempron
Graphics Card? nvidia/ati shared/256/512
memory? 512/1024

LFS will be the thoughest thing for the pc to handle. I don't mind playing on relatively low resolutions but I want to have a smooth and stable working machine.

I take the joy of seting up myself. I recon it's part of the game. That way I can say I didn't get my bachelors degree in automotive engineering in vain.

I'm curious. How many people set their own cars up?

First corner incidents happen pretty often. Not a big deal. What anoys me more is the fact that drivers losing the first corner roulette call for immediate restarts. The 2nd start is usually as messy as the first.

What's the point in restarting a 5 lap race? illepall The next race is on within a few minutes.

Drivers that caused the accident usually don't get much out of it. So a restart won't punish them.

Wouldn't starts be taken a bit more seriously if restarts wouldn't be socially accepted?

Thanks y'all!

damn that fox has some grip!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweeeeet! Just unlocked S2 and had some serious fun! Thanks for being so positively peruasive!

But even democratic bans can be totally wrong. Cause a lot of racers just ban because someone accuses.

I got a ban yesterday for NOT participating in the traditional first corner clash and therefore benefitting from the misfortune.

I'm currently a demo racer. I'm staring to get irritated by the general mentality of my fellow demo racers. (not all of them of course)
* Mass destruction in first corner
* Banning just because others accuse
* Calling for restarts when race is in progres

Is this just the demo-way? Does buying a licence ad some dignity to the racing?
