So basically its just 2 180deg. corners?

Thats an oval for you.



Looks fun for some uf racing, seems kinda narrow though. Maybe a good banger track since the outside walls wont send you flying.

lol, oz thanks Ill try that out.. appreciate all this work you're doing trying to help me get this sorted.

last night I tried taking out some stuff in the pci slots, and I also tried to see if the new ram i put in was affecting it, but still the same thing. Ok ill look at those links you posted in a little bit and see what happens.

for the motherboard it has this listed
MSI Athlon motherboard - 1-GHz [Part #2512593]

yes its a Gateway.. I see a version 400071 on here.

i cant find anything on the motherboard, i looked in sisoft and cpuz but it shows nothing. system bios us american megatrends inc. 0aavwp02 but that probably doesnt help. Under mainboard it says MP APIC as 'NO'

in the device manager under properties and in the resources tab it tells me whats conflicting with the card.. and I have no idea wtf it means but it sounds like have to to flash bios or something.

It says

Memory Range 00000000 - 00FFFFFF used by:

evga geforce fx 5500 256mb agp 4x/8x

wow, i hate compputers.. Im trying to get this card working (geforce fx5500 256mb agp) and ive got the drivers and everything installed but its not working, and it says in the device manager 'the device cannot find any free input/output resources to use' Can anyne help me possibly quickly.


I have agp 2.0 and it says it works fine with it, I know its supposed to even on the nvidia site it said it should work. I dont know what i/o device its talking about. pleease help

well I see now that I have an agp slot.. its 4x though but I guess any card will still work with it. Going to get an agp card today not sure which one but Ill see whats under 60 bucks.

Resetting the car gets you dq'ed in most leagues anyways.

W.Gooden, what's your processor speed? Not the fastest if I remember correctly. On my P4 2.5 I went from onboard to 256 mb PCI and it didn't get me ANY frame rate increase. But what it did was give me no difference between minimum graphics settings to maximum graphics settings. Before the gfx card, I had to run minimum settings and in wheels view with 35-45 FPS. Cockpit view would drop me to 10-15, unplayable. Now I maxed the settings and am back in cockpit view, but still get 35-45 FPS. If I minimize graphics, even dropping resolution and color to 800x600x16, I get no increase, so it's now my processor bottlenecking the system. My point, if you are running OK with a crappy looking game because you are at minimum settings, then the gfx card would help to run it looking better. But it won't be an "OMG, this is so fantastic change!"

hmm its an athlon that runs alittle above 1ghz.. its about 5 years old lol. My fps are similar to yours.. I always use no mirrors, and every thing on its lowest settings. Although offline my fps are alot better.

click any laptime on the charts and it downloads.

I only have PCI for now until I get my new pc.. so would I see an improvement going from a geforce2mx 32mb to the 128mb fx5500 ?

I think I'd be cool to have an option to upload your setup along with the replay when you do a hotlap. Im sure this has been suggested though..

yeah, I'm assuming he meant xfr + ufr.



actually its confusing, cause on the main page it says
Race Event 3: UF 1000 - Aston National

I wanna race in a league like that, damn

century gothic..

dunno why, I just always use it for aim and msn.

Was this a joke?

Yeah the prices are going down on dfp which is great, in any store they're selling them for 119 now so if you dont want to get them online and save shipping, its a good deal.

thats really nice Any chance of an aplinestars suit?

buckmore park karting track in england
