Just yesterday i read an article about the new C Class on racecar engineering and they said the chassis', diff, tranny and some other stuff are sealed from 2005 on so that's why 2006 cars weren't any slower than the 2006 cars last year.
I'd say they are an air intake for the brakes. They are legal since they don't move. And if they wouldn't/aren't legal, it wouldn't be fair if Ferrari would still have theirs.
'You don't have 10 GHz but 4 2 GHz cores' 'Yeah but i still have 10 GHz' - LOOOOOOOOOOL
Anywho, here's mine:
Abit AB9 QuadGT
Celeron 420 at 2,4 GHz (need to get a better cooler than that BOX crap)
2 gigs of Cellshock DDR2 1GHz memory (CAS 5)
7900 GTO
320 gig WD SATA and 120 IDE Maxtor (need to change that too)
DVD-ROM and DVD-RW, both hardly used
All of that powered by a 420 W Tagan (sadly with no PCIe plugs, that's the only problem with this PSU).
I think the GT3 GT2 racecr is actually a base for the GT3 RS road car :P Well, i think they used a Porsche chassis, made a 'GT3' and then made a road car with scaffolding in the back, rock hard suspension and a bar counter on the back
It's a GT2 car BTW. And i remember a racing Punto (gen. 2) had only 500 rpm of usable racing area. And maybe the torque graph is very low so it doesn't hurt it going under the max torque RPM.
Guys remember, Suaber F1 and the FBM don't have anything to do with BMW (well, not officialy that is), Sauber is here because of Intel and it's racing tour and the FBM is here because of a challenge, i forgot it's name. THe game will be used as a preliminary test, the best drivers will be able to drive the real thing. That's also the reason why it's included in the demo, so people can get used to it beforehand (I guess).
THe most aerodynamcal shape is a waterdrop. And the lower half is a perfect sphere. Then the upper half (if it's falling down ofcourse) swoops back into a pointy shape (idealy).
Maggot i said the 'more beautiful one' would do the job better but the other one resembles a snow plough more to me...
EDIT: well i was a bit too quick by saying a waterdrop is the most aerodynamical form. But it is very so. The reason for it making a sphere (half of it) is that the atoms atract eachother. Mass tends to stick togheter. So we get a sphere but the low pressure area behind the drop makes some of the water to be pulled out, forming that tail. That makes the air glide over the back of it rather nicely. Witht he teardrop shape (more or less) you get quite good aerodynemic performance (lower drag) with a lot of space to put the driver in.

Reason : Wrote teardrop instead of a waterdrop...
Those could be better yeah, but the front and cockpit design pwn the other one. The other one looks like a snow plough. Though this would do the job better it IMO still looks better.
Repluggin the power to the wheel doesn't help me much witht he off-centre problem. Claibrating it in the drivers is the only fix, if it works (usually does).
Well this is considered to be an Overclockers dream 965 motherboard (better than the P5B Deluxe, somewhere on par with the DFI 965, it can do 500ish FSB out of the box, it has a 1066 strap option where Asus switches to 1333 at 400 MHz FSB making it slower, etc., etc.) so i really doubt it's 1.1 :P
Yeah, it's really nice shifting inside the game. But as i said a couple of times, just htat 5th gear problem for me. Too bad i can't drive today, my right thumb hurts a bit (hitting a ball with the thumb pointing down at basketball is not a good idea :P)
Comapring A64 and C2D is like comparing apples and oranges. Or even worse. And don't forget, P4s were faster than A64s in SUperPi because it's the cache that matter. AMD has a very small since it can access the RAM fast and the production costs go down. Intel has always had big caches - 6 MB per a pair of cores for the E8x00 series.
I have the offcentre issue again. replugging the wheel doesn't help (can't calibrate it too).
EDIT: plugging the USB dongle in and out doesn't help too but i can calibrate it now. But it's kinda annoying to do that after every race in TDU. Can't imagine doping that in LFS. And i guess the USB is 2.0 since it's plugged in at the back of the motherbaord, which is an AB9 QuadGT with an ICH8R chipset (and 965P).
If you're buying in Slovenia, take a look at www.ceneje.si . Otherwise the difference is in bundle. Asus and other more expensive brands have more games, Club3D and Inno i think don't have any. I'd take the cheapest since the actual PCB and chips are the same. THe OC versions are tested to go higher if you intend to overclock even more.
EDIT: PX stands for PCIe series of cards. Back in AGP days they used A. I had an A6600GT and there was also a PX6600GT.
