I has 9. Its not a normal CPU like in a pc. Its a cell, its has one PPC and 8 SPE's. The PPC is like a normal core and then it has the SPE's which are like mini cores that will run one thing at a time. Think of it as a P4 3.0ghz with 8 P1 100mhz. Thats a sort of thing it is. But with it all sharing 512kb L2 cache it will bottleneck like f**k ( I think its 512). Ill go find a long article (45+ pages) on the internet about the cores if I can be bothered showing the HUGE flaw in the Cell processor over the 3 cored PPC. They both run the same instruction set as they are both IBM cores running the PPC instructions thus porting games will be easier than ever especially as the Revolution is going to be a PPC as well. Although Intel has just discovered a code called VILW which is not only better than PPC but also X-86 (pc language ie windows) making all Xbox 360, PS3 and Revolution out of date if they can make it work as VILW will absolutly own the PPC code due to it being able to run 8 cores on 8 different threads 2 at time meaning 16threads at once and alot of power but Ill leve that out for now. Another huge difference is the unified shaders on the 360 compared to the PS3 seperate vertex and pixel shaders. The PS3 RSX GPU chip is a G70 (7800GTX) modified, so its basically 24 pixel shaders and 8 vertex (if I remember well) where as the 360 has 48 unified, meaning it can have 48 pixel or vertex at one time, whichever is required meaning it is less limited to graphics power. The 360 has been proved to connect with media devices, so has the PS3 so they are level on those terms. Both wireless etc but the PS3 will cost about £500+ due to the dual HDTV outputs, new Blu-Ray discs over the 360 HD-DVD (both are outdated now due to HVD, you could fit 213 full DVD movies on that very one disk and it'll only take 998 seconds (about 16 minutes) to burn them all. (128 Gigabytes in about the time it takes to burn a typical CD or DVD). Which is due for release withint year or two and backed by loads already. Ill stop my ramble now but if anyone wants some real dirt on the two let me know and I'll dig up the huge articles.

They are both roughly the same you wont notice that much difference to be honest. Fan boys will argue. The Cell of the PS3 only has 512kb L2 cache (I think) and with 9 cores using that its one hell of a bottleneck where as the xbox has 1MB and 3 cores using it which is alot better but still a bottleneck. So the 360 wins there. As for waiting for a PS3 its not coming out till 2006/07 at the moment. Sony have also admitted it might cost £500+

Well my name isnt on the list but Im going I sent it off other day should have arrived today :(

Got a good clip last night of me gapping something, lowering the front end leaning back, then lifting the bike towards, its from the side so you can see it well, BUT I cant get it as my mates camera it was on his computer doesnt like the internet. So try lowering the front end leaning back. Kick and lift bars towards you whilst tucking the bike. Then extend the legs and plant rear wheel on object.

Tis good to hear but isnt this more of a chitchat topic.

Well its simple, go measure the distance between your mounts. Then go to Here or a similar site and look at boosters find one with which your mounts match up and use it.

How many more weekend passes are up for grabs? I knows theres 50 in total but how many are taken?

Yea I reccomend a grind too, they work mint in all conditions and in summer you can run a dead grind as the pads are softer due ot heat so wear more = you get more braking power.

Someones selling a Zoo Copy on here now go look, in forsale wanted. Also Im not aware of a new python coming out but I dont live on tf so I might be wrong, Im sure a tf house member will tell you.

It is it leaves a thin film on the rim, it then goes onto pads and pads become worse than they were. Trust me its happened, use white spirit then clean with a household de-greaser or fairy liquid and warm water works, then wash with warm water only. Removes residues, OR go buy a proper de-greaser to remove white spirit crap, a bike degreaser.

Use dreamweaver then, Version 8 out soon.

Log (woo first post on page 100)

The police like to pick easy incidents, I dont know if they get say a bonus at the end of the year for however many crimes they stopped, if you can call riding on the pavement a fine? If so they will pick the easy ones, yes they know that people do drugs all the time but they cant be bothered to deal with real problems. The police station in farnborough is within eyeview of skatepark you could look in and see if drugs were being done or under age drinking, which it is half the time. They dont do anything instead they come over to some remote walls were riding and complain. They wont go and sort the drug problem probaboly because of all of the paper work involved and they are lazy. They can walk up to you say "you broke the law for riding on the pavement" and fine you £30, they have to actually do tests on individuals they suspect are under the influence of drugs etc which takes alot of paper work so they wont do it. There are alot more crimes out there that are alot worse than riding on the bloody pavement. The polive piss me off so much, they complain about us when there are cars being stolen, people being shot, probaboly 25% of the country getting high on drugs or getting pissed out their faces under age and they dont do shit about it. What is going to cause more of a problem, 10 people getting stoned/pissed at 6-10pm or 10 riders riding some walls at 6-10pm? They seem to think the riders as they are easy to catch. The polive over here have told us to ride in the skatepark, we told them "we cant ride in there we arnt in YOUR insurance policy about the park and if we get injured they will close it, YOU said it yourself when it was opened" so they let us ride most places now so long as they arnt busy, and the security guards are agreeable too most the time. Some arsehole was giving us hassle, stamped on a mates bike, security came over and said "we know you come here often and dont cause trouble, he causes trouble with you anymore give him a chinning but dont put him in hospital" The guy hit mate , so he hit back and decked him in one. They didnt mind it was on camera. Woah that was abit of a ramble.

I'm hopefully going, just waiting to book a camping site. I normally ride Blue(inter) in BIU but I could probably ride 75% of the red BIU stuff so I would assume Inter UCI would be best for me? Me and mate planning on entering for a laugh, camping shall be funny too. If you go on Fort William then you can find the 3 nearest camping locations.

You'll be suprised, Koxx bars are 30" I believe and pazzaz bars are 29" (apparantly) and I can feel a whole load of difference, koxx bars you feel like your flying with wings they are too wide, yet pazzaz are really nice. Does 25mm make that much difference on a wheelbase? Yes it does just as much as 1" will on bars.

LudicrousCube (HyperCube = film, and from Spaceballs they go HyperSpeed (i think) then LudicrousSpeed, so its a mix).

Yea they are search bot things, they sit on firums, you search and then it appears on their searches, clever heh.

Or just being clever enough to either read the instructions or know how to do it in the first place.

Ride, get used to it, then once all pains are gone decide if you need a longer stem. But if your saying with a low stem your getting arm pains, how will a higher stem help as it will probaboly only be aboue 1cm higher maybe 2. Just learn to ride with what you have as its probaboly a fine set-up for now if your just starting and you will get used to it. Also your technique will adjust to your low stem and by the sounds of it its your technique thats not correct yet, once correct you wont get a "bad contact" with the bar.
