All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

I'm still AMD at the moment.

My little linux box is dead, so I'll need to get another one together. Most likely upgrade and use the current madaz p4 4.05ghz killer (AMD xp3200+) as the linux box/game server box. hehe :sick:

And I thought PS3 would be next gen hardware. Shows how much they say "Itll never get any better than this" it always does. PC will always be better than a PS or an XBOX no matter what they do to make the console as cheap but with more power. only thing is its easier to take ur ps3 or xbox360 to a mates house to play pro evolution soccer than it is to take ur whole pc whilst being extremely careful then spedning 5 hours setting up LAN connections and firewalls and shit and then playing games and transfering files across the network which u cant do at the same time.... Go the multitap.

im guessing they use some sort of physical mapping system by using some sort of electric suit wired up to read every single line of her face and body, like they do in games but here more detailed, then they compute the geometry in far more detail to smooth it all out, then apply textures then render it then tahts it. that easy but all the much harder. EDIT: Thats on a G80? fark me that things going places, but without a core2duo extreme any system currently will be a bottleneck. I got a 7950GX2 and it looks like ill be selling it early.

Ps3 technology is old nowdays...

It is easier to move the console, but when can u get 2+ mates to hook it up and lan games or over the net? I regularly pack my pc to take with me over the weekends (which i un pack too) so say 2 times a week EVERY week. Its not hard at all, or time consuming. I had a mate come over for a lan, which took all of 3 mins to get setup...

I meant like 5-6 computers, all coming from either home or from their own businesses with their own Dynamic IP ranges set up and all that shit, they want to be able to keep those settings to plug straight back home and then keep doing their work or whatever. Thats when it gets time consuming. I have done a LAN transfer files/ playing games thing only once with my computer, the hardware superceeded all theirs and this was around a month ago, my computer had a ping of around 120 the whole time playing and it had nothing to do with the router, yet on my network at home its fine. No one can tell me a Core2Duo E6800, 2 gigs of DDR2800, with a 7950GX2 running on a totally fine gigabit ethernet controller on the motherboard could be so slow. someones settings was screwing me up and we couldnt work it out, so i just said screw it and let my machine go.

Oh and on the ps3 note, Id say the technology is well developed, but dont get it wrong the product is unrealeased and the technology is untested. Therefore the technology is "new". :happy:

Latency not the same as bandwidth.

Your issue would have been a hardware driver, combination or setup issue.

Sometimes having the latest and greatest hardware is not such a good thing.

A good old 10mbs lan will yield a 0-1ms ping so I'd say your issue is else where other than you owning a fast new computer.

Did you check/swap your patch cable?

Computers suck at times. ;)

yeh patch cable was all good, drivers all latest, (so far as i could tell the only ones for some harware at the time!) and settings matches etc. it was probably a driver issue or a hardware incompatability/ interference issue but its been sorted out since, an updated marvel-yukon gigabit driver was realsed for my chipset and it all worked fine after that. the latest and greatest hardware might not be the most compatible with other things true but its damn quick, efficient and the games and applications i run look mighty fine on my 22in WS monitor running at 1690x1050.

yes computers do suck at times, i use them, fix them, monitor them, replace them, configure them, break them everyday in my job.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
