I set the game up so my wheel imitates the real steering wheel axis of the actual car. So it ranges from 720 downwards. I have never used 900.
Having a smaller steering axis isnt always easier. It is alot easier to oversteer for one, which when racing a RWD car can lose you a few seconds lap time due to having to correct it, whereas you tend to get smoother follow throughs on a bigger axis.

You need to set LFS and the Logitech Profiler software up for 900 degrees.
If you havent already done so, there should be a W icon on your taskbar (bottom right). Open it up and go to Profile > New and fill in the blanks. Then go to Edit > Specific game settings to set the ammount the wheel PHYSICALLY rotates.

Another bargain heads up (dod:source $5!)
Day of Defeat: Source is $4.99 until 10th of July on Steam.
Anyone who is into FPS shooters I would certainly recommend this game. Its another WWII setting, but quite arcady and fully infantry based. Its basically CS:S but harder to control recoil (you have to fight automatic weapons etc) and now they have just added achievements like TF2 and some new maps too.
Personally it is better than counter strike, but not as good as team fortress 2. Comparing them as half life 2 mods of course
Here's a gameplay vid for anyone interested. This video is showing DOD when it was recently in beta as it was converted over to the newer better TF2-HL2 engine.

Cool thanks mate.
So is it worth buying GTL for this new mod? Looks damn fun.
Sorry to de-rail the subject a tad, but on rfactor, is it possible to set the wheel axis up properly (so visually it would map my G25 1:1, such as LFS)? Whether I am in an F1 car or general road car the wheel seems to have the same ammount of degrees. Even though its only visual it really annoys me 
PS
Just spent 45 mins using Niels C6 on the 1979 Monaco track....ace, so much fun!

That....was....so............crap.
:bowdown::001_007:
I tried 'realfeel' and thought it was crap 
Yea downloaded the 1979 F1 series....so much fun man. Driving around Monaco in a 1979 Ferrari F1, one thing I do give to rfactor is it gives you a sense of speed which a I find LFS does not.
I got it because I had the G25, I figured I spent so much on the wheel yet only had 2 games.
rFactor is not that bad anyway, just isn't as good as LFS. Its quite fun actually, main downside apart from its feedback and not as good physics is that the sheer amount of mods has diluted rfactor online.

Well then you hit the point that your video and that one is based on driver ability.
Indeed! At least that vid shows a Jeep VS a Hummer at the same time for a balanced comparison.
Definatly get the new ATi 4870 over the 9800GTX!
lifes a bitch...accept it.
Are all 3 pedals reporting to work independantly?
Is your car revving in neutral?

No doubt it probably will be slower, it just shouldnt be noticable.
Micro-ATX are still available. You dont lose any speed with them, not sure if you lose any overclocking ability.
Good thing is they are cheap

I have got to the point now where I can no longer upgrade my 939pin motherboard just cant take anymore upgrades, in the last 2 years I have been careful in getting upgrades that will go in later computers and will be getting some upgrades like you soon.
I do recommend Jakg's suggestion. One thing though is I looked up your computer and the case is micro-ATX, so they are shorter motherboards with fewer slots for future upgradability.
I therefore recommend a new case that houses an ATX motherboard...a cheap case can be picked up for that so its not a big deal.

Please Dac, your being a tad hippocritical, you have opened discussion on how your grandparents are bad drivers and kept that going, which did not answer your question but simply pleased you.
The best reply on this thread was angry_angel's, which seems to have gone by ignored. Read through it and you may get a better understanding of your grandparents opinion of your driving, rather than ranting about them being bad drivers themselves because it won't help you.
Nice shots there. I used to play pool a lot down at Rileys, the American tables though.
TF2 seems to be better played paired up with someone and helping achieve the objectives rather than working with the whole team on a master plan. Its fun and more casual that way.
Yes, I am presuming your hard drive is connected to the motherboard with IDE. So as long as the motherboard you pick has an IDE slot then it will work....providing it is IDE.
You will need to reformat and reinstall XP on it though.
The AMD 9850 Phenoms are only better than Intel at memory intensive applications. Games being one of them the 9850 sometimes is better than the Q6600 FPS wise, but only on stock speeds...which is why the Q6600 is way better. Even better for gaming is the E8400 for the same price, because most games still can only make use of one core, meaning the higher the single core speed the better, and dual cores are clocked higher then quads.
The black edition simply has a unlocked multiplier, which means it is easier to overclock, but it doesnt mean it is a good overclocker. The Q6600 however is easily overclocked from 2.4Ghz to 2.8-3Ghz on air, which is why it is a better choice.
'Top of the range' as stated will be more than £1000 and not worth it at all. The price curve for good hardware to the best is erm...a very verticle line
I am a bit unsure on your money situation...are you saying you have £700 in total to get the base unit and components (including graphics card)?
