we are both with Node, on ADSL 1.5Mb .... unfortunately we both live in Northgate, so our phone lines are on a RIM, hence we can't get ADSL2 or + ;):);) ;)

Well that just plain sucks..

Internode here.

1500/256 40Gb/month.

I DO need to do some cleaning out of things.

hehe yer that or nodes premium usenet pron service. :(

Cheers Howie.

lol, I expect to be using my PC a fair bit over the next 4 weeks during recovery; go BF2.

might try overclocking the unit (p4 3.4, gigabyte mobo, 2gig ram, 7800gtx, raid 400mb sata HD, 9 fans) to 4000, havent gone past 3700 (8%) as yet but its been real stable and heat hasnt been a real issue

:P

get a nice fan and u will easily see 4ghz stable

Nice Fan

I went for a Thermaltake Blue Orb 2 (about the same price) and it is quite unbelievable - it is absolutely silent, is on automatic speed (ie. the hotter the CPU gets the faster it will spin to try to cool it down), and the hightest speed I have seen it go is 1,200rpm (still silent) and the hottest I have seen the CPU is 45 degrees when hammering it. Currently it is 23 degrees ambient, 39 degrees CPU at 830rpm .... quite unbelievable for a dual core X2 4200 @ 2400Mhz (4600+ speed).

Lik-Sang were an import export company of videogames. And in the past year or two sony have been sueing them and they have finially had enough and probably can't afford to keep fighting these battles.

Go to www.lik-sang.com if you want some info.

In other news i got to play the Nintendo Wii tonight and it is so damn good it's unbelievable. It's so fun using the remote and the online functions are awesom and well thought out.

Everyone should be pre ordering one.

December 7 $399 and you get wii sports. Which has 5 sports games in it.

So good.

P.S buy my R34 so i can get a V35.

I saw the black V35 coupe that Synergy brought in for their compliance (that I posted some photos of a while back) driving on North east Rd the other day .... unfortunately it was going to other way so I only got a quick flash of it. *drool*

If I had known how soon V35 compliance was to be available when I bought the R34 last July, I would now have a V35 in my driveway instead of the 34 .... but I had committed to buy the R34 when I found out :) .... bloody fantastic cars (if not very lacking in power) - even Jeff from C-Red owns 2 of them and absolutely raves about them!

I couldn't work out why I couldn't beat Steve's score - all I could get is 35.5 seconds - but then it occurred to me that SuperPi only uses 1 of my 2 cpus (dual core you see) :P

A more appropriate Pi test is the multiple core version here: http://www.hwbot.org/download/multipi-0.2.zip

I got 1 min 23 sec @ 2.75Ghz - that is the highest I have overclocked it to so far .... I will get it to 3Ghz when I have some more time to play with it! (For some strange reason the multiple core beta starts time at 30 minutes rather than zero - but I assure you it is not true! lol).

Everyone post up their scores to compare!

to get super pi mod to utilize dual core u need to run 2 instances of it from to different named directories, then u can task manage the ifinity of CPU's to each program executable

i also dont understand the program u used i ran it any way

Running Stock

Super Pi 2 instances 4ghz

Steve I am pretty sure the program I gave the link to calculates Pi to 4M places, and utilises both cores to do it. When I calculate SuperPi to 4M it takes 2:42 with one of my cores, and that program takes 1:17 (now I have upped my clock to 2.925Ghz *and it is still stable* - that is equal to an as yet unreleased X2 5800+ :rolleyes: )

oooh yeah I just benchmarked my CPU in Everest Ultimate Edition "CPU Queen" and topped the list - eat my dust overclocked Intel Core 2 Extreme 6800 @ 2.933Mhz - my beastie at 2390.5Mhz kicks your butt :P

And for those that play CS:S go do the stress test .... I got 146fps with my XFX7600GT @ 1,280 x 768 4xAA :rolleyes:

    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
