Re: Fiesta ST

Nothing wrong with Ford at all, no way on earth does the word Ford and Fail belong together, especially if you throw in Cosworth. They still produce decent cars, the Focus albeit a bit plasticy is a great car, handles extremely well - especially the RS. BUT! I dont like the Fiesta ST at all, a guy a...

Re: Ps3 wins console of the year!

Too true, XBL is more than worth the money - but the ps3 as a bluray player? sure was a bargain when it first came out and the player is actually very decent but since standalone players they have come down now and you can buy a sony bluray writer for that price (for your pc), couple it with Windows...

Re: Evo8

Having owned both cars (currently own Evo 8 with approx 370bhp) I can speak from experience. My MR2 before I sold it was mapped and running a confirmed 280bhp at the wheels. This is well over 300 fly. Before I had my evo remaped when it was running stock 280-300bhp (fq300 spec) I have no doubth tha...

Re: Ps3 wins console of the year!

I got a 360 and a decent PC (which is way ahead of the 360 and the PS3 but cost a fortune), yesterday at my mates I had the chance to play TW (Tiger Woods) on the Wii (never seen a wii b4) and what an awesome game, jsut the fact that you have to swing like your using a real club made it so much more...

Re: graphics card help..

Where you getting the card from bud? I bought the Sapphire one 3 days after it came out - lucky because stock now is quite poor.

I got my entire rig from www.overclockers.co.uk

highly recommended :thumleft:

Re: graphics card help..

No mate, a single 5870 is more than enough - I can tell you from first hand experience as thats whats in the room next door! If you get one you'll get Dirt 2 free (unless they stopped that promo now, dont think so though) and it really does look amazing, totally different league to Forza 3 from the ...

MR2-Turbo GT T-bar

After the gearbox went on this car I've now decided to sell it, as far as the car is concerned I'm not prepared to spend any more money on it this year so its just sat on the drive. So, gauging any offers on this as it stands (with gearbox issue) - would need to be towed/flat bed off the drive. Stat...

Thats fine fella, but I'd be happy if I could run it at high/very high at 1280x1024, it doesnt need to be ultra, I could even buy the cheap PC above - a new PSU and this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-212-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1403 for all in all about ...

Re: Which of these PC's (cheapest) will run Crysis on High/Very High at highish res?

Do you think its possible to get a rig for about £400 or so that will run it at decent settings I used to have a DELL XPS 420 (Quad Core Q6600) 2x3870's (1GB) and that could run it at high on 1440x900 - if I could run it at that level again, i'd be mroe than happy, how does the 8800GT compare to 2x ...

Re: Which of these PC's (cheapest) will run Crysis on High/Very High at highish res?

1280x1024 would be decent enough - looking at systems with 2x4870's or the GTX280 pushes the price right up abit beyond what I can afford right now :cry: (I need a new gearbox) A mate has a PC he has been running overclocked (E5200 Dual Core CPU running at 3.33Ghz with arctic freezer 7 pro cooling),...
