Why small holes in the seat tube bar things? Giant slots are where its at! Get the headtube cut out too.

Did he send it recorded or special delivery? If you both agreed to standard non recorded delivery then you might never find it. Keep an eye out for a postie with tensiles on his bike though

Ha ha, f**k off. To be fair though, when i woke up there was an initial moment of shock when i thought it was. She wasn't a looker

Is it wrong to do a 49 year old at the age of 21?

Exactly. In a year or two we'll have the fancy new consoles that'll be better again and make the pc's look ridiculously expensive again.

Depends how you specify that. If you want to build a pc that'll match/better 360 performance for the next 6 months then thats pretty easily done. If you want a £250 pc that'll play games at the rate pc games progress then i agree, it'll be VERY hard to do. Fact of the matter though is that the 360 has about reached its graphical ability. New games are already sacrificing distance drawing and filtering on the 360 just so they can run things like the higher res textures. Of course this will all boil down to how well the games scale across platforms. Some developers make the games really well optimised and others just sort of drop them out and hope people won't mind. Need for speed pro street is a good example. Even on a really high end pc its somewhat of a slideshow for no apparant reason whatsoever. There's pros and cons to each format obviously but £250 would get you a pc tower that could match a 360 with the same image quality/performance until the end of its days no problem.

Seeing as the pc i specced would be more capable than the 360 console thats not actually as clear cut of an answer as it seems. Especially given the premium on console games. Fallout 3 has just come out on the 360 for what, £39.99? Yet the pc version is £24 upon first release. I've been playing fallout on the pc tower downstairs with the 46" big screen and a 360 pad. It looks better and runs better as the 360 version stutters a lot outdoors. Computers and consoles go through stages the consoles were better than the similarly priced pc's for a while, but with the new hardware out for the pc its currently more cost effective to build a pc gaming rig than a console. This'll reverse once the new generation of consoles comes out again and will rinse and repeat like it always has.

8800gt would be much, much better than the 7900gs Single 8800gt beats a pair of 7900GTX in SLI My friend upgraded from the lowest current intel dual core chip, e1200 i think to a q6600. He almost doubled his 3dmark06 score but in crysis he got 2 fps more and in far cry only 3-4 fps more. These games are much more graphically intensive so a fast cpu often doesn't merit much difference at all. If your after a new card danny pick up one of the 4850's or 4870's. My 4850 runs far cry 2 with everything on ultra high and 2x AA constantly over 35fps with a 1620-1080 monitor. Plays fallout 3 with everything on ultra and 4x AA on the full HD tv downstairs with no problems either .

Any of the core 2 duo's 2gb of ram as a base unit should be fine yeah. Shouldn't cost more than £150-200 for something like that, but have a look around and get something from somewhere reliable. Then purchase the 8800gt which is a very capable card. You'd be able to play far cry 2 on high quite happily.

The graphics card is the main thing really for playing pc games. It has to render everything thats on the screen and so the faster the card the newer the games you can play and with better graphics. For gaming a graphics card is far more important than CPU/RAM (dual core and 2gigs is plenty). The 8100 that comes with the quad core is a pile of crap that will only be able to run 3-4 year old games on low graphics settings and it'll run them VERY slowly. It'll be like a poor quality Playstation 1.

I think talking to your girlfriend will be the longer of the two from start to finish

I have the day off tomorrow, and would rather enjoy riding anywhere to be honest.

They're estimating 70% of the UK is going to have the new equipment in the next few weeks though (end of 2008) so for the majority of people it will be the best service available. Theres also a line checker on the site though that will tell you which packages are available in your area.

I love how that ebay listing had images of crysis and explained how amazing DX10 is. That card would be truly awful with just normal old DX9 Get something like this: Visit My Website Then whack one of these in it: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....s)%20-%20Retail Really easy to fit the new one, shouldn't take more than 2-3 minutes to fit it then 5 mins or so to install new drivers. Keeps it around that kind of budget and would be FAR better for gaming.

Critical words there. If your going to be using optical the 20mb virgin package is actually okay. If its ADSL then bethere/o2 (same company) are the best choice due to low prices and no restrictions on downloads, bandwidth, fair usage etc. I think if you have an o2 mobile you can get another couple of quid knocked off the bill each month as some kind of loyalty reward. EDIT: Just checked out that link and its repeated exactly what I've said. My line is 6.5mb for ADSL too and it recommends the o2 up to 8mb package for £7.50 a month (£12.50 for non o2 customers).

Really?

You might have been implying that, but was your post? What is right and wrong?

Hey its your word, not mine. Anyway... pack spamming or i'll permaban you

Don't worry mate it makes perfect snese.

Remember when we put some porn on loud at my old house to annoy the housemate and he wasn't even in the house

All your babies are belong to me.

I'm not going to ring you. Leave me alone midget.

Yeah you forgot to ring me you gay. I ended up watching crappy tv until now and now i'm having to trawl through NMC deleting posts from the evil gay spelling bee.

Too true. Had a shed load of reports just about this guy tonight. I think a global clean up operation is in order .
