wonder what sort of fps this puppy can get rofl

Same FPS as if it had one 40GB HDD.

Your FPS is governed by CPU and GPU capability, not how many terabytes your HDD can access in 0.3mS. Sure LFS might open a track in 0.0002 seconds, but once it's loaded the HDD gets little use.

Motherboard: Msi P35 Neo2-fr S775
Micro: Intel C2D E6550
RAM: 2GB Kingston 800Mhz
Monitor: Samsung 2253NW 22"
HD: WD 250GB 16mb + WD 500GB 16mb
Video Card: MSI RX3870 512mb GDDR4
Supply: Satellite SL-8600EPS 600Watts
Wheel: Logitech G25 and Logitech MOMO®

G25 only:


with momo, g25 and "flashfire" xP

Intel Core 2 Duo 4300+ ~1.80ghz
Asus nVidia 8600gt 512mb GDDR2 cooled
2gb DDR2 RAM
19" LCD Moniter
G25 Steering Wheel
250gb HDD

Just got a message saying my package is at the nearest ICA-store.. Wondering if it can be a G25 in it

My PC :

Cooler Master 534 Black
Nvidia GTX 260
Intel E8400 3.0GHz
Kingston HyperX 800MHz 4GB DDR2
Dell 22" monitor

I get around 190 - 140 FPS

I play LFS on both my machines. These pictures are from yesterday when I got the laptop; unfortunately I am STILL waiting for my G25 to come in so don't mind the crappy wheels.

Desktop:
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHZ
2GB Kensington 667MHZ
160GB HD
8600GTS Superclocked 512MB
Windows XP Home- It looks good and stays above 45FPS all the time, even under full grid(its generally up around 90-120FPS but sometimes it drops).

Laptop:
HP DV6500T 16"
Intel C2D T7250 2.0GHZ
4GB RAM(not sure what speed)
140GB HD
8400M GS 128MB Dedicated, but it uses up to 1gb if it really needs to
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit- It runs as good as my desktop, just stays around something more like 60-80FPS.

I'll clean up the wires and everything when my G25 comes in, don't feel like doing it now lol. http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn ... 14941900b0d7e8b4a7261.jpg

Beem3r; I thought about getting a GTX260 for my next box, how do you like it? My biggest concern is do you think it would be too big for the case in my picture? lol I reuse my cases...

My 'new' gaming rig!:-

• Q6600 OC'd to 2.8ghz
  
• 4gb ram
  
• nVidia GTX285 1gb
  
• G25 wheel
  
• Trackir4 Pro with trackclip
  
• 3x22'' lcd monitors, native res 1680x1050
  
• Matrox Triplehead2Go Digital
  
• X-Fi Elite Pro Soundcard
  
• Speedlink Medusa NX 5.1 headset
  

Just waiting for my 'Buttkicker Gamer' to arrive and I'm in sim-racing heaven. All those months of saving pennies has been worth it!

On the PC:
Removed USB header thingy,
Installed new internal SDHC card reader,
New mouse (well, another MX1000 to use when the first ones battery dies),
Removed floppy drive (never use it anyway).

On laptop #2 (HP).
Gave 1GB of RAM away, took 2GB of RAM from the eee so it's on 3GB atm - 2x 2GB DDR800 is in the post.

On Laptop #1 (eee).
RAM removed to go in #2, will soon be back to 2GB again.
