Maybe the motherboard's BIOS has a bug. Are you using the latest BIOS version? It's pretty common for motherboard manufacturers to release updated BIOS versions to support newer hardware, so you can try updating it if you haven't done so already. It's perfectly safe if you follow the instructions step by step.

That's not an ATX board crashgate, it's µATX.

Android pretty much summed it up, and DX10 can't run on XP. But you can update your version of DX9 by downloading and running this little tool which will update DX9 files to the latest versions.

From what I've seen on the web, it can only support up to 3.06 GHz P4 CPU. It's probably not worth it if you already have a 2.66 GHz one.

I wish the LFS shop had a decals I can stick on my car...

This is a very nice analysis of the effects that different upgrades have on fps in LFS. It should definitely be Stickied.

Does this look like your motherboard?

If it is, then the most RAM you can have is 1GB, so you need to add 1 more stick of 512 MB DDR (333 or 400 MHz, 400 is backward compatible with 333 and are easier to find and cheaper in most cases). You should be able to pick one up for ~10 pounds.

The board also has an AGP slot. The best AGP card on the market is the Radeon 3850 512 MB, which is around ~90 pounds, any other AGP card will be cheaper. Make sure your power supply can handle it though, it should be more than 300W.

Are you sure you're saving in the right folder? Maybe you have multiple copies of LFS, save in the correct one. Or try in the CMX viewer (with the BF1).

I'm surprised the GTRs aren't using the drilled disc. Why are the TBOs the only ones using the drilled disc?

Quote from skstibi :

So many Modifications.
The only problems I see with the current is that some stuff is quite low res and the interior is the wrong shade along with the texture seeming a bit off.
I am going to take a camera to my sisters '06 GLI (not mine, I own older stuff) and fix the current interior. Change the seats but keep it Classy cloth volkswagen. The steering wheel is just WRONG, needs major adjustment.

Who would be up for High res but still proper and that would be something that would come from the VW factory? No after market stuff at all, just pure VW.

Please do, I would love that.

In a way, you're right. I mean, who knows how long the VWS will be delayed.

Hey Scawen, since you're fixing shadow bugs, how about fixing this one too?

Shadow disappears when you go on that raised grass at autocross, it even disappears when you're only partially on the grass.

Lock this...

We don't need threads like this one wasting bandwidth...

No matter how used rotors may be, they are all worn out evenly like in the attached pic. But yours are worn out unevenly, which is impossible unless the disc was not flat, but in some wavy shape which allowed it to get more worn out in some areas than in other areas.

I have P5Q Deluxe, I disabled Expressgate completely lol, and turned off the logo, I like to see the POST messages when booting up. I just like that it reminds me of the early days of computers.

As for that driver, I think it's the internal version 8.50. I have catalyst 8.12 and my driver version is 8.561.

Can you be more specific? Which file did you save? One of the drilled ones at the top? Or the solid one?

Nice ...

but I wanted this one ...

Wow sometimes I really forget that europe is small!

This is my desk:

I completely agree with BigTime, a fast dual-core is better for gaming than a slower quad-core. The opposite is true for photo editing and movie editing.

Final thing, the Athlon 7750 is a piece of shit so don't go for it, E8400 is awsome, I know cause I have one myself.

Thanks, but we already have a forum.

Quote from Riders Motion :

Hey Adrian,

Have you tought about making a full disk to replace the 'DISCSOLID' instead of just renaming your drilled disc? I would actually like to have a solid disc on UF1 and such.

For you, anything! Here's a solid disc, basically the same as above but without the holes.

Calipers for road cars, made by zed28.

LOL this board is such a mutant. PCIe and AGP, DDR and DDR2 ram...I'm surprised it doesn't have an AM2 socket as well

I'll take it off your hands. Should be a great addition to my collection, which consists of a momo and g25 lol.

If he really has 200 pounds to spend, he should get a new CPU (50), more RAM (50) and new video card (50), that's 150 pounds well spent.
