Its a full blown simulator. Its not something you will pick up and be fast at in a day. There is a lot to learn but its very, very good.

LFS styley you mean? might have to have a lookey for it, can u race others online? and is it like Dirt in that you can do rallycross, dakar rally and the like or is it just normal rallying (got nothing against it if it is )

ok, so is this a "rally simulator" or more arcade/"gamey"? if it's a simulator, how realistic is it? how many cars/track etc can you get and how much will it cost for me to buy the latest version?

thanks,

Oli

thanks anyway, i really like that pic

thanks, but how do u get it to be in those proportions? when i set as wallpaper it's either squashed up or too big or off to one side.

haha how does that work? unlesstheres a way to dislike with facebook or something and views on facebook don't count

I'm proud to say I still haven't seen Avatar!!

saw a chelsea game in 3d at the pub, quite good with depth and all, especially with that view from above the goal down the pitch (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z8Ke ... 6LU/s400/6.Pitch+View.JPG ), although even then could've done with being closer (was packed) or it being on a bigger screen. 4d intrigues me, go on..

"in 2009 the 3GS, with video recording", wow, you mean like the phone i had in 2005?? one small step for man...

Quote from BlueFlame :

I left my PS2 on over a day, on B spec XD

yep that's what i did lol, but can u imagine how tedious it would be to have done it yourself!?!?

might've been asked already, so sorry if it has, but does anyone know if GT5 has the endurance series? who the hell ever sat down for 24 hours and played gran turismo lol, that's when b-spec (where it plays the game for you) really came into its own.

also, on gran turismo 4 did anyone else have the problem where they unlocked the car to do a race, i think the specs were it had to be unmodified and over 490hp. i unlocked the only car that could win it, went to enter the race and it said unmodified cars only like i'd modified it so i couldn't enter the race. because of this i couldn't complete the game. god i was pissed off lol

cool, will use that as a reference. how much do you think it would cost to make it road legal and insure it if it was road legal?

ahhh can't wait to play it again! only 12 days, 21 hours, 43 minutes and 52 seconds to go!

whats the difference between 32 and 64 bit and does it matter which i buy?

Quote from anbiddulph :

well, if your a student you can get it cheaper

http://www.software4students.co.uk

is that legit?? how can it be so cheap?

think budget is around 300 (i think)

for RAM, do i need to buy a stick, or is there a way of putting it inside the laptop? i dont really have room for a table in my room so will probably just be on my bed, meaning it's likely to snap off pretty quick. also, something i've always wondered, is "memory" the same as RAM? like in the ads when they say like 3GB of memory i'm thinking "thats barely enough for a couple of albums!", but then they say like 250GB hard drive.

finally, is this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Micros ... qid=1275738606&sr=8-2) what i want to be getting or is vista better? (i swear vista came out then like 6 months later 7 was released??)

sorry for all the questions

ok, let me start by saying i know next to nothing about computers (well i know the same as most 16 year olds), so try and keep the lingo simple.

my mum said she'd buy me a laptop for my birthday, but when we realised how expensive they were we decided against it. then i remembered i already had one! (not sure how i forgot) it's an XP Dell inspiron 1000, which is still pretty quick, but as its probably gonna be my main computer i wouldn't mind souping it up a bit.

my question is, to get all the right hardware (better RAM, bigger hard drive, thingy to connect to wireless etc.) would i be paying less than if i wanted to buy a new laptop with similar stuff?

thanks,

Oli

fair enough, i'll have a look. would finding scrap shocks like this be cheaper than 1 decent shock per wheel? also, how much do "cheap" versions of things like the FOX shocks cost?

Quote from anbiddulph :

for the suspension, maybe look at the shocks off a large dirt bike? if they are too soft, maybe doubble them up?

2 shocks on each wheel?

Quote from Shotglass :

same with the reliability... theyre quite bulletproof from what i can tell
granted my experience is purely anecdotal evidence but still

i thought they were exactly the opposite - as with all italian cars

what? i have an app for doing it from youtube?

right, deleted internet files and whatnot, and are those antivirus things free?

thanks. it's connected by ethernet and is a bt vision thingy (http://news-pictures.broadband ... 74439_0_0_7010022_300.jpg but without the phone attachment)

i've tried with firefox and chrome and same thing happens.

don't think i've got a virus or spyware or anything (done macafee scans)

will try switching ethernet slots now.

not running any other programs (except hotmail and msn, but same happens even when they're not running.
