Sif, my 260+ is working perferctly fine with win 7 64bit.

Did you install the driver yourself or did u let windows update do it?

EDIT: & yes I realise that I can't spell for crap, on a side note, how do I turn on the spell check in IE8? Hasn't worked eversince I updated to 7.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I love it.

I have been using W7 since the Release Candidate.

Only thing I don't like is Paint. They tried to be jazz it up a little bit, add some crappy new shapes and patterns. Lame complaint I know.

You suck ash...

still haven't sorted out the audio. Flash videos are playing really choppy too... I might try doing a repair on Windows... I'm sure my f**king around with shit has farked something up...

Anyone gimme thoughts on 260 card was going to get XFX......210 at msy

Bought a 4350 card to get my bluray working on the cheap and its a POS......

dropped my user rating from 5.9 to 3.7......JUNK compared to my old 7600gt....

Windows user rating means fk all mate.

A 4350 should play 1080p without a problem. Could be a CPU load issue you are having.

Are you using the latest ATi drivers and K-Lite codec packs?

late reply... windows told me it found the current drivers for my card, but i found the latest drivers myself, my card is a 285. a friend of mine has the 295 and its has the same issues. in MW2. tried every different driver i could find.

so ill have to live with 2x AA i guess......or go back to XP, but i really couldnt be bothered, still looks shiny

have been using windows 7 enterprise on one of those netbooks and its been going alright, startup takes a fair bit to load though, no games or programs installed, most of the unneccasary processes/services have been disabled, not sure whats wrong but used to start up in about 10seconds when i first started using it now it takes about 1 minute

has only been used for word processing and internet browsing not downloading and has antivirus installed on it from day one

is it just the netbook itself or has anyone else experienced this?

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
