They have an interest in commodores, like we have an interest in nissan's. I don't see what the difference is.

man that makes me want to get back into an R34...

No madaz it will not. Your best choice for gaming with a controller on both 360 and PC is to buy a microsoft WIRED xbox360 controller. They are a great controller and work really well on PC. You can buy the wireless xbox360 controller but then you will also need the wireless receiver.

Currently playing... mostly pc games as i just built a new beasty of a computer. - Half life 2 episode 1 just finished it then, more of the same but still good fun. Now on to episode 2. - Crysis, just playing it a bit to see the pretty graphics on my comp. - Soul Bubbles on the NDS everyone needs to play this game, on of the best games i've played in a while.

Hmm went and bought it all on Saturday along with a 21.6 inch samsung monitor. Awesome setup love it. Also decided to get two of the hdd and am running them in RAID0 muhhaahaha so fast. On the case of the power supply it is modular, and it seems to have more than enough juice for everything so far. Crysis at 1650x1080 everything set to "High" and i get a constant framerate of 45-50.

I got paid yesterday and last night was thinking how i could blow some money. So today I went out and bought the parts for a new computer. The only orignal thing from my last computer being carried over is the DVD drive and the case. So this is what i got and the performance is phenominal. Intel E8400 at 3.0GHz (I wanted the 8500 which is 3.16Ghz but they had no stock and if i really want that extra 150Mhz i can just overclock) $188 GIGABYTE EP45-DS4P Based on the Intel P45 chipset. Has all the features i wanted and them some. Lovely put together motherboard $191 CORSAIR RAM 4GB Umm not the most speedy or expensive stuff but much better than your usual generic $121 HDD WD 640GB SATAII with 16mb cache. Awesome HDD and i've set it up as a RAID0 array so i have 1.16TB of storage ohh yeah $94 each THERMALTAKE 550W Modular powersupply. Modular is so nice as i only need to plug in the cables i need. 550W is enough for the video card and the two HDD so perfect. $90 GECUBE RADEON HD 4870 512MB DDR5 RAM I wanted the Gigabyte one but they had no stock this was cheaper and it's all much of muchness unbeliveable card $340 SAMSUNG 21.6 Inch 2253LW LCD monitor hell yeah baby this is nice i was going to get the cheaper Acer monitor but they guy at the shop said to me, with all the fancy parts you are buying get the better monitor. He even said he made less profit on the samsung monitor but he said it was much better 2ms response time $260 This computer is freaking awesome. My last computer i made was over 3 years ago so it's nice to finally have something really fast again. I've also done a 180. I used to be an AMD proccessor guy and a NVIDIA graphics guy. Now i'm using a Intel CPU and a ATi graphics card. But looking at reveiws and benchmarks Intel is the way to go. And the 4870 is smashing NVIDIA. I considered going Quad core but not enough games support it to make it worthwhile IMO, i'd rather have a super fast dual core than an average speed quad core. And until games start supporting quad core you might as well stick with the dual. Only a few games support quad core and it makes a big difference but for the next year or two i think the dual will be fine espicially since it has such a high clock speed. I've just finished installing the following Orange Box - max everything, including AA and antroscopic filtering at 1680x 1050 runs awesome never slows down Crysis - Everything on High and 1680x1050 wow this is incredible framerate around 45 - 50 most of the time dips down to 25 - 30 when a lot is happening. But the eye candy is amazing. Just installing Unreal Tournament 3 at the moment. Then i'll chuck on Bioshock and a few other games. So all up today i spent about 1400 bucks and have a crazy computer. Very very happy. And if i just got the one HDD and used my old monitor i would of saved even more. It's a great time to buy a new pc. Also anyone reccomend any good PC games? Just not RTS haven't really enjoyed one since Dark Reign.

ohh also am i able to take my current vista home premium OEM and install in on the new pc without any hassles? what i mean is will it still activate as it's a totally different pc or will it be all good? thanks.

best ball is always good fun, cos you play as a team and work together. plus it's a lot faster than having 4 or so individual people hitting 4 over each hole

guys what do you think of this build?? i've had my pc for over 3 years now and i think it's time for an upgrade. i figure i'll keep the same case, burner, keyboard, mouse, and probably move a hdd over. please tell me asap as i'll go pick it up from all needs in the morning. GA-EP45-DS4P $191 INTEL E8500 $210 WD WD6400KS 640 GB $94 cORSAIR TWIN2X4096-6400c5 4GB $139 Thermaltake TR2 RX 550W $97 Gigabyte HD4870 512mb $366

still here just put 3 months more rego on it.

Well done you twat this is "General Automotive Discussion" GM have made plenty of performance cars like that new corvette thats faster the new GT-R... The clarkson thing i'll agree with that is good publicity but that doesn't mean he's not a fat fool who i personally find annoying. I'm not trying to say Nissan sucks, or holden rules, just that nissan isn't god like some people seem to want to believe. At the end of the day i don't care what brand a car is as long as i like it.

why do people think nissan have more "racing cred" than holden or in effect GM??? nissan have made one car that everyone knows about the GT-R for every turbo skyline model there are is another crappy maxima, or tiida, or pulsar. Nissan are no where near the leauge of proper sports only car makes like ferrari, lamboghini, porsche (i'll excuse the cayenne), etc, etc. They are just another car maker making the same shit as everyone else, and judging from the financial success in the 90's and early 2000's they weren't that good.

Did you pull that 70% out of your arse???

Yeah cos a new R8 clubsport would be heaps worse than an ugly skyline... Once again R34 is the only one i'd ever own.

Loving that trailer. Whats the chances of you knocking me up a nice one for a motorbike?

Love the R34, would never own an earlier model. I liked the R32 and 33 range but when i saw a R34 GT-t I new thats what i had to have. And personally i prefer the rwd version over the GT-R, a bayside blue R34 GT-t with about 220 rwkw, bigger brakes, ohlins suspension all round, sounds like the perfect track and daily car. I think one day I will have another R34 hopefully a series 2 maybe a 2000 model or so.

Don't be gay get a CB250 or a CB400 if you can, don't waste your time with shitty japanese 4 cylinder bikes.

whats exotic about a r33?

Wouldn't 1 ATi 4870 be faster and cheaper than 2x 800GT's??? Nice cheap build.

So what you're saying is that the GTR is made for bad drivers? And i think the nurburgring has more corners than straights...

Ehh i'm not really worried, exclusive games from 3rd party developers are becoming a thing of a past. As long as sony, microsoft, and nintendo continue to make great first party games there is always going to be a reason to buy each console. For example i'll have a ps3 for GT5, i'll have my xbox for Halo, and i personally wouldn't touch a nintendo console nowadays but where else can i play mario?

Yes but at least he has to drive it. And no doubt the skyline was on the limit when lapping (or close to it) and due to all the electronics it makes it all smooth and removes you from the experience.

And you're point is? If an american company using suspension design from 70 years ago can beat the japanese using 21st century technology it just makes me lol. And that corvette looks a lot more fun to drive than the skyline.

lol you dolt. I bet you that corvette probably gets better fuel economy than the GTR. The new 6 litre v8 we get here is more fuel efficent than most shitty skylines out there.

i'll bring the cool-aid you bring the rat poison.
