Just to clarify then Crowman (BTW : Hello mate) ... Stick my Western Digital in as secondary and My Seagate as Master ... install XP Pro on Master and the install Vista on secondary, right? IE: DRIVE 1 : partition 1 (XP) Other Partition (rest of space = data) DRIVE 2 : partition 1 (vista) Other Partition (rest of space = data) Its the "Swap Drive" bit im confusing things with. Im not sure what you mean by "make much difference" ... the only thing is just to have both OS's running ... are you referring to just the physical drive issue or something else? If this way helps to keep

Noted I will look into that CPU comparison, I do have a "thing" for AMD, but I will look again at it before Im completely committed.

If someone says "The physics are on par with Richard Burns Rally" ... I would get this for my new system. So far I don't see anyone stating that (here and other forums) so if its an eye candy pram race then I will settle for the free demo to mess about on to test my new rig when it comes. Once you are used to Richard Burns ... nothing comes close with the feel of a SIM, but im dying for something to come along with the same physics, but the eye candy of Dirt.

All be it a late reply as I havent ventured in here for a while : http://www.bhmotorsports.com/RBR/downloads Best place for setups and physics tweaks, new cars, menus, sounds ... the lot.

Cheers fellas, Indeed its DDR2 Memory (the machine im getting) I had a decent sniff around online and have all the step by steps to dual boot the unit. I agree, and will get Vista Bundled but not installed so I can then install XP Pro and Vista afterwards. It will be fun to see what I can (or cannot) do with Vista, I will be using that partition as my Playground and test center than anything work related thats for sure. One thing im not going to do right away is go online with Vista ... I want to find out all about what crap I can kill and any other "questionable" processes before I

Dual boot, of course, that does make allot of sense ... now I haven't set a dual boot machine up since Partition Magic days a few years ago. Is there a resource that gives good advice of steps to take to have both OS's on a machine ... of course I can google but if you know some decent ones id be interested for a pre-readup before I get the unit. Im with you on that, I get a 500 gig, I have my 300 gig, so I might swap them around. Either that or I will lay off real important things from the 500 (data what you really cannot replace if it all goes belly up). Whats the best tool

Hi Ruin, I normally build, but i'm buying this time, mainly because what bundles are out actually fit exactly what I want to build, and separates would cost more (oh and im not paying for it either, someone else is ).... and, I cant be bothered to put it together this time I think I will skip on bundling vista and just have the unit sent without an OS and then install my XP pro for now.

Im getting a new rig next month and I have some questions. It can be shipped with Vista ... I don't really want Vista at the moment and I have XP Pro 32bit already. So my logic is, bundle it with no operating system and throw Vista in the pakage not installed & then install XP Pro 32 bit for now when I get it ... I "think" thats a good idea just passing it past people here for feedback. At least I have vista sat here to install as and when. The system is 2 gig ram so no 'above 3 gig' worries. It comes with SATA2 500GB drive .... and I like to Norton Ghost system drives. So, i'm th

I suspect he will get a "call" ( ) later on for some more serious "work"

Music to my eyeballs This all sounds right out the [GR] camp ... certainly is on my radar.

If i remember correctly in one of the [GR] patches they upped the AI so patrolling groups would split / strafe and hunt once they detected. Before that I do remember [GR] having similar issues with enemy simply laying down or just taking cover local to thier position only. I do not have any GRAW titles but from descriptions it sounds like a mission pack from [GR] with dug-in AI splashed around to hunt down from early scripters. Mind you, as said, modding should do the trick. One thing you cant take away from [GR] is the suprise attack from AI, to this day I still jump and get a panick

Quantum Rides Again .... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtm...scispeed116.xml Big claims. I would be more on the lines of no B.S.

This makes its case ... Im hooked!

True but that also comes into question depending on what they specifically go to edit and what they changed it "to" from what it "was". Granted that anyone wanting to lay low would not use such a direct way if they really wanted to go under the radar as it were. You could also see this as an exersize in "were here too" as regards being careless enough to be logged. It does make me laugh that its that open and editable, because there are allot that refer to it that ive seen, which surprises me (in more political areas *tries not to mention it*). Agreed. Hence the reason sh

Haha ... I never stated any were actually real & the second link was just for comedy value This doesn't mean that everything is fake and eyewitness statements should be frowned upon, these examples are plenty that add fog to the subject, which is a shame.

That was the the best bit ....... Prat .

Simply the best ive ever seen

New UFO caught on tape in Haiti ,and before you ask, no, im not suggesting this is real. Bloody good though

HERE I notice that on Amazon you can get the whole Isle Of White festival on DVD along with Woodstock (see "better together" section down the page), obviously im a bit slow on the up-take but thought Id link it anway.

Hang on folks, I heard that in some of the bundled audio which is pretty large compared to audio used in-game has actualy been extracted with unpacking tools. There are spoken phrases in a mans voice that does state "sir, talk to me sir, you have such a lovely voice" and "Targets spotted sir, what do you want to do to me, sorry, where do you need me?". followed by "Sniping sir, my rifles realy big with this silencer". By all accounts sub comments audio can be found under the unpacked directory structure "cAMp_comms_01" with comms chatter you can here "ooh saucy" and "these shoes really cha

Even in gaming independents get the two fingers . Every things so caught up in money and got so greedy and dependent on it that they are running scared, so these usual B.S tactics are used. Not suprising, later on I suspect GR.net will be on the "tech-terror" list

Another little but effective divide and rule tactic Anyway im off out to "hug a hoodie" becuase I feel that touching base with my future home invader may in some way take the pressure off later on when I have to decide best how to not offend them in anyway as they enter through my window. This process may work, a tip off will help on what biscuits to pre-puchase and whether they prefer coffee or tea while working.
