All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

Andrew, unfrotunately no I can't get you a key :D I was one of the first 2000 to activate my beta key when Kane's Wrath was released, hence how I got in. You are welcome to come round for a gander if you wish... Might even be able to hook you up with my key for you to play, so long as you aren't on when I want to get on :worship:

Nice setup apart from the PSU.

Corsair or Seasonic PSU. They are the same thing.

The 640AAKS is a very quick drive. :blink:

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.

Sticking with the stock frequencies for your mobo - kralster's Corsair TWIN2x4096-6400C5 PRO 4GB would be an obvious choice or OCZ Platinum-PC2 6400 4GB (2x2GB). Also, both should have reasonable potential if you plan to OC.

cheers, i'm leaning towards corsair... probably not gonna OC it, just gonna leave it stock and stable

hey everyone, im going to upgrade my ram in the next couple of days and im after some advice. currently it has 2 512MB PC3200 sticks in it. im debating whether or not to just put another 2 in there to get 2 gig of total RAM or swap them all out for single 1gig sticks so i have a total of 4 gig of RAM.

now my FSB is 800Mhz so what are the advantages of upgrading to a higher speed ram as well?

      Import insurance in 2025

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Looking forward to see if you can find something decent Duncan. I'm with Enthusiast. They seem happy enough to take my money but I have never claimed. I'm also also not convinced they would pay. Because, as per their PDS: I've ECU, exhaust, intake, intercooler, engine, turbo, fuel system, radiator, brakes, suspension and wheels listed on the insurance policy. But none of it is engineered or formally signed off. I presume that makes it not comply with ADRs. Because anything that might get defected goes against those rules, right?   Their other gotcha is parking on the street at home. Which is probably fine, but still.   Overall, + Can set salvage rights on the policy + Able to list modifications + Agreed value insurance - Question mark on whether they would pay a claim. The terms seem to hedge against it. - Only listed drivers on the policy are insured.   Overall I treat and drive the car like I am not insured.
