Andrew, unfrotunately no I can't get you a key :D I was one of the first 2000 to activate my beta key when Kane's Wrath was released, hence how I got in. You are welcome to come round for a gander if you wish... Might even be able to hook you up with my key for you to play, so long as you aren't on when I want to get on :worship:

Managed to become part of the Red Alert 3 beta for anyone who cares. Pretty fun and the whole naval base building adds a whole new twist to things, pretty good so far IMO

Nice setup apart from the PSU.

Corsair or Seasonic PSU. They are the same thing.

The 640AAKS is a very quick drive. :blink:

Hmm went and bought it all on Saturday along with a 21.6 inch samsung monitor.

Awesome setup love it.

Also decided to get two of the hdd and am running them in RAID0 muhhaahaha so fast.

On the case of the power supply it is modular, and it seems to have more than enough juice for everything so far.

Crysis at 1650x1080 everything set to "High" and i get a constant framerate of 45-50.

^^^ That's an awesome rig you've put together, it's near identical to mine :)

GA-EP45-DS3R

Intel C2D E8400

Seagate 7200.11 500GB+750GB

OCZ Platinum 8500 (1066Mhz) 4GB

Seasonic S12+ 650W PSU

Nvidia GB 8800GS -> soon to be HD4870 of some sort

im running this on my desktop... got a couple others about but this one is slightly moar interesting

GA-M56S-S3

AMD X2 6000+

Kingston 1G 800 (four of em)

Gigabyte 8800gt (512)

WD 1TB 7200 (got three of em)

WD Raptor 150G (bootdrive)

Antec Neo Power 550W

also have two LG W2252TQ's (22" widescreen 2ms)

gonna get better ram next

any suggestions?

Sticking with the stock frequencies for your mobo - kralster's Corsair TWIN2x4096-6400C5 PRO 4GB would be an obvious choice or OCZ Platinum-PC2 6400 4GB (2x2GB). Also, both should have reasonable potential if you plan to OC.

cheers, i'm leaning towards corsair... probably not gonna OC it, just gonna leave it stock and stable

hey everyone, im going to upgrade my ram in the next couple of days and im after some advice. currently it has 2 512MB PC3200 sticks in it. im debating whether or not to just put another 2 in there to get 2 gig of total RAM or swap them all out for single 1gig sticks so i have a total of 4 gig of RAM.

now my FSB is 800Mhz so what are the advantages of upgrading to a higher speed ram as well?

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
