thanks for the input guys. and thanks guy i might take you up on that. ill call you if need be.

thanks for your input cubes!

comp has 4 gig ram, core 2 extreme(quad core), 768 3d card(overkill) and most games i can crank up.. a few stall but with grid it glitches and freezes up like crazy. running 1920x1200 res... hoping xp will fix this issue and just not happy with vista on the whole.

I have alot of mates who use vista and haven't heard of the issue's your describing i would almost put it down to being a dell

just because they claimed it was the fastest ns whatever if they used inferior parts for memory or graphics card your going to end up with alot of problems

i also know nvidia aren't that great with there drivers so it may be a case of searching if other people are experienceing the same problems with dell systems or the same graphics drivers

just as an example with the game grid i was having corrupted gfx on the demo so i rolled my drivers back and was all good now i have the full version and even newer driver haven't seen that problem since

i also know nvidia aren't that great with there drivers so it may be a case of searching if other people are experienceing the same problems with dell systems or the same graphics drivers

*cough* Nvidia drivers are probably the most solid drivers out there on the market. If you're using beta/alpha drivers then you're bound to have issues, but historically Nvidia have had much better drivers than ATI. That said, I've owned ATI and Nvidia and both have had isolated incidents with driver releases from time to time...

3d card is nvidia 768 x 16 8800 ultra. how would i update drivers?

will try that before i whipe it.

www.nvidia.com

go to download drivers

enter 8800 ultra as the gfx type. download the release that suits your operating system (vista)

Once downloaded, Run it. Voila, new driver installed.

hmmm moving house sucks.

me and the missus are putting our unit up for rent, after spending mega bucks on a re-furb.

it went into the paper on sat, and the net >click here<

we have 3 couples coming through it tonight for an inspection!

one couple has offered more then the weekly rent, they want it so bad!

but the real estate agend doesnt like the look of them lol.

its all good though saving more money FTW

moving back with missus mum FTL

having a double garage all to myself FTW

real estate agent fees, FTL

I'm in the talks at the moment with the bank ... looking at bidding on a massive 4 bedroom home (with 2 double garages) on a huge block of land :(

If I get that house, I'm def throwing a house warming party!!!!!

*fingers crossed*

Well for what its worth my specs..

All using the latest drivers from the respective websites.

Gigabyte EP35-DS3

Gigabyte 8600GT @ 1680x1050

All rock solid memtest (test 5 and 8 for 24hrs) and prime stable.

Runs Grid fine no hang ups or stutters.

I had a slight issue when I was running a 400fsb where it was rock solid in prime and memtest yet BF2 would still randomly drop to the desktop. Dropped it back to 333 with the same overclok and its now fine.

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
