Well I have a 2.1 setup and the musics bass lines are so much stronger and clearer to the point I have had to turn things down. When I tuned it up half way with my onboard, the music would of hit its peak and got worse the louder it got, but with the card the speakers continue to produce more and keeps getting clearer.

I have tried only Netkar pro, LFS and Rigs of Rods and with them 3, there is no real noticeable diffrence. LFS still sounds like a food blender and netkar still sounds like netkar.

Alot of diffrent features on it but only the 24-Bit crystalizer seems to do anything effective, mainly because the others are for 3D effects for 5.1 or 4.1 setups.

But the diffrence in sound in my music is quite something.

Anyway thats my little review of it.

This happens when im both spectating and racing.

When I join a server I normally wait for the skins to be downloaded before I start to avoid a crash or anything. But even when im racing, someone will join, little stutter, skin downloads and gets put on the car, big stutter then fine until the next person joins.

Quite fustrating when you braking from 7th to 2nd to take a bend and half way down the gear changes the game will stutter.

I have not OC'ed anything, I have tried on diffrent setting, tried with and without AA and AF and also closed any background tasks that are not needed.

I dont really want to turn off the auto skin downloading unless I have to.

Any tips?

Went for it and god what a change. Only had 1 little problem but all I had to do was to move a connection from 1 place to another.

In games it does not make much of a diffrence, but music, tv and videos there is a huge improvement.

The adress is not working.

Maybe because it got pulled because it was'nt approved by the mods

My next upgrade is a sound card, been looking at the Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty here:

I am currently running onboard sound and wondered what you people thought about it? Is it a worthy investment?

If you search Scawens posts, you will see he posted just the exe for people to upgrade from S to T.

Quote from Scawen :

Yes, the S crash could affect everyone, with 100% certainty, if the situation comes up - usually when you witness a pile-up at T1. It's not hardware specific. Everyone should be on patch T, not S.

Out of intrest then, how come it was made a fully compatable patch considering that it's a patch which is most advisable to download?

Eza from DSRC did a good list of the changes here:

lol, look a couple of posts above you and you will see that deggis has already done that in his 2nd pic

It's for bugs like:

Just fixes some bugs that people have been having with the patch

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

It'll so break when the patch is out. Oh, it'll break.

The Forum or the record?

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

They are getting ready for a server bash.

They had that today and the forum really went t!ts up

The tried the torrent idea with S2 but it was a complete flop, everyone (inc people who said they would use the torrent) decided to go for one of the mirrors rather then the torrent.

He done the over taking move and has 'contacts' there.

I reckon only this first part is valid, the rest is rubbish and to throw us onto the wrong path.

Look at the main site;
The old blackwood forest guru once said...

I rekon sometime tonight we will click on that and there will be a page saying happy easter people, heres the new patch (or words to that effect)

The idea is not to think too deeply into it. My guess is the answer is maybe right under our nose, but we just cannot find it because were in too deep

Maybe thats where the patch is hiding

I reckon if its going to be a car, it will be the steki car that was going to be from drivers emporium. If they still continued to make the car then it would be right on time for complition.

So far we have:
Night Racing
Rain
A Forest Track
Rallying
Fog

so far so good

and the name of the picture is geniusloci

Is the name of the picture on the guru page anything to go on? "geniusloci.jpg"

And could guru be half of the word subaru if you knock off the G?
