Quote from dropin_biking :

Hmm...LFS slows down while using WMP, that doesn't seem right. WMP (I use version 10) has a VERY small footprint on your systems processing. Of course you don't have an amazing machine, it should be very capable of running more then one thing at once. I would look into the issue further before thinking of hardware upgrades. I'm sure jakg will come along soon and explain the whole "healthy system" thing, as I'm just too tired.

i think i had more programs on at the time, dont remember :/


defragged about a week ago.

uhh something really weird happened. i went to dl CPU-z to check my ram, [ i know i have 1.5 gb but not sure which kind] after i executed it, the cpu fan went into overdrive. it only does this upon a startup if the computer is cold, to get rid of dust i assume. i didnt get to read it as i shut it off and restarted. its fine now, but dont want to download it again..

im pretty sure its 1.5 gb of ddr 400 ram. 2 sets of different budget ram.

eh, downloaded again and its fine but. i got 2 gigs of ram, 200 mhz - pc3200. all equal in performance/specs

p.s when i added the extra 1 gig to my standard 1 gig, i didnt notice a performance boost at all. not even loading times =[

p.p.s i was wondering about the quad cores because i wont my rig to be a good in the future, instad of upgrading a little bit every time, maybe ~ 5 years.

Okay, so im running on a decent amd64 3700+ and a nvidia 7300gs. but its bothering me how slow it is, it can barely handle WMP while in LFS... and i think i might get a new CPU because my graffix card might be fine according to some people, running my 17 inch 1024 x 1080 crt. so... new graphics card, or new cpu? if cpu, which one will be best for my need for more FPS but a LOT of multitasking? [photoshop, audicity, lfs, WMP, msn, 5 instances of IE, on windows xp]. $2XX quad core? or the same prices dual core? please help

It's not THAT bad in rF to be honest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3AkULYBkMo
If you have been lucky enough to hear a real F1 car, you know it does sound like a freaking monster. The sound shakes the earth, rips your head off and uses it as ashtray.

exactly. and in that youtube video, i heard an r/c toy. a plastic boat. anything BUT an f1 car. i watch f1 once in a while on tv, and while not the same, its definately there.

thanks, the second one is grand

eh, just noticed its not uf1 =/

ive been looking for ANY car with nvidia / nvidia colors [lime green grey, black] so if anyone can make one for maybe uf1, lx4 / 6 or anything else, i would appreciate it.

hey, ive been looking around hard for a LX NVIDIA skin... i truely love those colors [limish green / grey / black] and if they do, post it here. thanks in advance!

(or if anyone can link me to a nice one )

or a NVIDIA skin for any other cars lol :P
