Well I guess I could sum it up

If you want cheap go for AMD if want performance go with Intel

no I'm not saying that AMD is slow and cheap but if you are planning on spending more than 300$ on the CPU alone then you will get better performance from Intel.


Ah yes the x2 3600+ a very nice and cheap cpu just have to a bit careful when buying one of them some shops might still have old 3600's lying around
(90nm, Windsor core, ADO3600CUBOX) but they have half of the normal L2 cache (256kb) and that will hurt the performance so what you would want to buy is the x2 3600 Brisbane(65nm Brisbane core, ADO3600DDBOX) as Jakg already said.

Quote from BlackSheep720 :Which one would directly influence the frame rate of my games? That's all I care about lol .

FPS is directly influenced by the gpu so if you only want more fps get a better card but more RAM will make everything smoother, loading times will be lower and overall your PC will feel faster so pretty much you will want both RAM and a better card. With 512 you can pretty much run almost any game at the moment but with some games will just have so looong loading times that they will make you cry, I know

Quote from LoganC :15 Marshall's? Ahh!!! Which one did I miss! lol
And I downloaded an old S1 version to play with the XRT and it only had 1 exhaust. But of course, I could be wrong. Maybe the S1 version was too new.
A McLaren F1???? Why!!!! That would be such a fun car to drive! Maybe S3? or a Patch X surprise? no? Well, now you got my hopes up!
Thanks for posting the answers. greatly appreciated!
-LoganC-

In S1 I belive you needed something like 200 points to unlock the XRT before you could drive it but see 2 exhausts http://imbbs5.net4u.org/sr3_bbss/7291LFSS1/412_1.jpg
And the McLaren http://palmer.s45.xrea.com/wp- ... ploads/lfs-mclaren-f1.jpg

Dear Mr. Dvorak: Ann Landers wouldn't print this. I have nowhere else to turn. I have to get the word out. Warn other parents. I must be rambling on. Let me try and explain. It's about my son, BillyHe's always been a good, normal ten year old boy. Well, last spring we sat down after dinner to select a summer camp for Billy. We sorted through the camp brochures. There were the usual camps with swimming, canoing, games, singing by the campfire -- you know. There were sports camps and specialty camps for weight reduction, music, military camps and camps that specialized in Tibetan knot tying. I tried to talk him into Camp Winnepoopoo. It's where he went last year. (He made an adorable picture out of painted pinto beans and macaroni). Billy would have none of it. Billy pulled a brochure out of his pocket. It was for a COMPUTER CAMP! We should have put our foot down right there, if only we had known. He left three weeks ago. I don't know what's happened. He's changed. I can't explain it. See for yourself. These are some of my little Billy's letters. Dear Mom,
The kids are dorky nerds. The food stinks. The computers are the only good part. We're learning how to program. Late at night is the best time to program, so they let us stay up.
Love, Billy.
Dear Mom,
Camp is O.K. Last night we had pizza in the middle of the night. We all get to choose what we want to drink. I drink Classic Coke. By the way, can you make Szechuan food? I'm getting used to it now. Gotta go, it's time for the flowchart class.
Love, Billy.
P.S. This is written on a wordprocessor. Pretty swell, huh? It's spellchecked too.
Dear Mom,
Don't worry. We do regular camp stuff. We told ghost stories by the glow of the green computer screens. It was real neat. I don't have much of a tan 'cause we don't go outside very often. You can't see the computer screen in the sunlight anyway. That wimp camp I went to last year fed us weird food too. Lay off, Mom. I'm okay, really.
Love, Billy.
Dear Mom,
I'm fine. I'm sleeping enough. I'm eating enough. This is the best camp ever. We scared the counselor with some phony worm code. It was real funny. He got mad and yelled. Frederick says it's okay. Can you send more money? I spent mine on a pocket protector and a box of blank diskettes. I've got to chip in on the phone bill. Did you know that you can talk to people on a computer? Give my regards to Dad.
Love, Billy.
Dear Mother,
Forget the money for the telephone. We've got a way to not pay. Sorry I haven't written. I've been learning a lot. I'm real good at getting onto any computer in the country. It's really easy! I got into the university's in less than fifteen minutes. Frederick did it in five, he's going to show me how. Frederick is my bunk partner. He's really smart. He says that I shouldn't call myself Billy anymore. So, I'm not.
Signed, William.
Dear Mother,
How nice of you to come up on Parents Day. Why'd you get so upset? I haven't gained that much weight. The glasses aren't real. Everybody wears them. I was trying to fit in. Believe me, the tape on them is cool. I thought that you'd be proud of my program. After all, I've made some money on it. A publisher is sending a check for $30,000. Anyway, I've paid for the next six weeks of camp. I won't be home until late August.
Regards, William.
Mother,
Stop treating me like a child. True -- physically I am only ten years old. It was silly of you to try to kidnap me. Do not try again. Remember, I can make your life miserable (i.e. - the bank, credit bureau, and government computers). I am not kidding. O.K.? I won't write again and this is your only warning. The emotions of this interpersonal communication drain me.
Sincerely, William.
See what I mean? It's been two weeks since I've heard from my little boy. What can I do, Mr.Dvorak? I know that it's probably too late to save my little Billy. But, if by printing these letters you can save JUST ONE CHILD from a life of programming, please, I beg of you to do so. Thank you very much.
Sally Gates, Concerned Parent



The point of my story is that I wanna be like little Billy getting a job as a programmer but I don't want to loose the connection with the world and when I become a programmer I probably will. When that happens I will loose all my friends, I'll become an angry person and probably gain a lot of weight and I do not want that to happen.

Oh and I like racing

If I remember correctly this thing started a few years ago when drinking in public was banned and the people who were mourning there were asked to stop drinking.

Keyboard steer : [keyboard - stabilised]
Auto gear shift : [no]
Steer rate 0.48 :
Return rate 0.42 :
Fast steer multiplier 3.00 :
Slow steer multiplier 0.33 :
Limit multiplier 0.8 :
Button control rate 6.00 :

it's good for the XRT but i use a bit lower steer and return rate for the XFG
I tried mouse but it just felt wrong to me so I stuck with KB

I'd say lower your steer rates and assign buttons for Fast steer and Slow Steer

Well I use winamp to listen to my "tunez" and I don't get any lag at all.
I'm running on a pretty old K7 AMD that does not have hypertransport or nothing and it's all fine.

Quote from LFSn00b :You seem like professional, why don't you suggest some good videocards for me? Budget is 0-300€, which is like 250£.



666! Post number 666!

I'd say go for a ATI 1950XT that would be the best one for that price.


And yes for 50£ there aint very many cards out there but a nvidia 6600 should be the best one you can get I think

Quote from wheel4hummer :Okay, now after some competetive racing in TORCS, I will try to fix the problem.

EDIT: I think that I have found the problem, but I cannot fix it. Here is an entry in the system events when I tried to start windows "normally". I looked in services.msc, and could not find any of these. Is it possible that I have to go into the registry and disable these programs from starting? I am not sure whether these are services or programs, lol.

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Service Control Manager

Event Category: None

Event ID: 7026

Date: 10/23/2006

Time: 6:56:16 PM

User: N/A

Computer: JOESPC

Description:

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:

ATITool

atitray

Avg7Core

Avg7RsW

Avg7RsXP

Fips

IfsDrives

intelppm

ntiowp

OMCI

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


Well as I understand your video drivers dont work then AVG antivirus is borked and motherboard drivers aint working very well
OMCI is a Dell driver ( i have no idea what it does ) and Fips-- FIPS is a program for non-destructive splitting of FAT16 and FAT32 harddisk partitions.
So i would say it's easyer to just format and reinstall windows + drivers

Button control rate : 2.00
steering : 0.48
return rate : 0.42
faststeer : 3.00
slowsteer : 0.33
limiter : 0.80

I pretty much always have the slowsteer button pressed when I'm driving . The XRT is yes alot easyer to drive than before but for some reason I'm slower with it now maybe because I have not used it much i could do 1:24.xx something before patch S now the best i got, after 4 laps :P , was 1:26 something I think I just need to get used to it once more

Well I still have the same conf. as i did before patch S and 1:33: xx does not seem impossible with XFG on BL1 I'll just need a bit of practise atm i have done 1:34:2 before my best was 1:32:36
The key to driving with KB is that you Have to use slowsteer because without it you'll be flying all over the place in corners
