Computer Jargon

[Cubes]

I recently had a good experience with a DOA antec psu in an 4480 antec case with MSY.

Basically powered it up once turned it off then it wouldn't power up again. Tested the psu and it was definitely stuffed.

So i called them up dropped the case off they tested it and gave me another; no fuss no questions all done.

I've been fairly lucky with DOA computer bits over the years. The last DOA I had was 2 sticks of DDR corsair ram.

been having a look at some ferrari 430 software this weekend. Some pretty in depth stuff there. Unfortunately it had a mind of its own and seemed to take control of the car. in qualifying it was controling the brakes when it wanted to brake (not that helpful down the straights when the cars brakes are locked on) and the in the races it decided that it would go into neutral instead of the gear it was meant to - see what happens when you rely to much on computers.....

it makes you ferrari slow!!!!!

oh and i found the laptop i want, the Lamborghini Asus specially developed to work with the Gallardo software and diagnostic tools. it has a sexy carbon outer case with the raging bull embossed into the top

On the 2nd episode of Blood, Sweat and Gears the guy in the Ferrari spun it on a slalom course, and the car ECU shut the car down as the wheels span and it turned too violently. They had to get a Ferrari tech to reset the ECU to start the car again! Definitely far too much computer 'control' for me - who would want such a thing?

good show Joel

agreed Andrew next thing you know (actually thinks about what im about to say) you can shut a car down via a beam pointed @ the car, would be handy if said car was stolen

My mate had the ECU reset and had the software reinstalled 3 times over the 4 days. I like the ferrari dash read out, very classy in red and black, then you walk up to the historic's that still have these funny dial things on the dash to show them how fast they are going

during the race this morning one of the 430's ECU shut down and they had to restart it, once they did that the car went into limp home mode which wasn't very good during a race.

lol one could say gg Ferrari

Ferraris and computers obviously dont mix too well. Keith Wong had some serious issues on Thursday & Friday because his 360 has 3 computers (2 engine management and 1 driveline). One for eack bank so it sees it as 2 separate engines. The thing kept shifting into 'Limp Mode" everytime he hammered the rev limiter. So by trying to stay off it meant he couldn't go as fast. You cant even plug a laptop into the thing unless you've got the unit that can communicate with the ECU and thats in Melbourne.

No wonder the Porsches keep giving it to the Ferraris and they don't break down anywhere near as much. Keith had a gut full and was tempted to bring out the Porsche that he did well in last year. Poor bloke probably regrets buying this thing.

Keiths car from last year is no longer eligible to run in the series. The 360 Challenge is a good car of you have it sorted right finished 4th in last years event in front of some much higher rated drivers. Marc Eddy is happy that he upgraded it to the Gallardo though (3rd outright for the weekend) i had a quick look at the Gallardo's data collection software and hardware today. You can either plug the laptop into the car or you can remove the memory from the ECU and tale it over to the laptop (what eve is easiest).

and here i was thinking Keith was just cruising trying to get used to his new car
