Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

I had a slight issue when I was running a 400fsb where it was rock solid in prime and memtest yet BF2 would still randomly drop to the desktop. Dropped it back to 333 with the same overclok and its now fine.

Thats a memory timing issue. Either the ram isnt rated at 400mhz / pc3200 or the latency timings are out of whack... I only ever had that with cheap ram. When I switched to corsair xtra low latency ddr I stopped having problems (and got a better whetstone too)

what is it? besides a brand of jam ? ^

Theres your standard, baseline ram which is good for what its rated for.... but barely...

Such ram is made by Hynix, Legend.... then you have the really good stuff for overclockers and system tweakers, usually its made by Corsair or OCZ or Team Extreme.... not only can they deal with faster FSB's (for when you're overclocking the FSB) but they can also support more aggressive latency timings (which makes the system more responsive as opposed to FSB which is just how >fast< the memory transfers...)...

Will definately be buying corsair next time but that wont be for another year.... need new turbos first >:(

My supervisor is off sick, so me and my mate are making her a computer out of cardboard. i even photocopied the keyboard and stuck it on some cardboard :( that will teach her for being sick.

If she has a cubicle, tape the entrance off and tip a few hundred litres of packing beans into it. Laughs ahoy

I have seen a pic of that, unfortunately we don't have a cube farm here. I filled a guys draw with packing beans once, he wasn't overly happy.

the other thing u could do is use a screwdriver/ruler to pop the keys off her keyboard... then put them back on in random locations... it'll confuse the hell out of her muahahaha

I had a mate try that one on me. Joke backfired because I can touch type and not look at the keyboard :D

He got immensely irritated that I wasn't taking the bait. :) It all started because I gave him shit about how he's an IT 'expert' yet he types with 2 fingers at about 15wpm.

Haha. Whenever anyone says they're an expert at anything IT related, you know theyre talking out their cornhole :)

Other thing is to replace the kb with one of those touchtype keyboards without the letters printed on them. Really screws with novices...

The board is an EP35-DS3 so DDR2. :D

The ram is fine its DDR800 and not overclocked being at 800.

The chip simply has hit its fsb wall at 400; it doesn't like 400mhz; 380fsb is fine. I haven't bothered to find where exactly the fsb wall is.

In the past I've always gone corsair, OCZ etc.. Had a few bad DOA corsair sticks (back in the ddr2700 and 3200 days) touch wood no issues with OCZ.

These days there's no need to go for the top line stuff unless your really after the last poofteenth; 1066 gear can be picked up cheap these days. Run 1:1 - thats a 533fsb of which will easily net 4ghz and beyond; providing your chip doesn't hit its fsb wall before prior. Intels are fairly forgiving to higher latency (unlike AMD) due to their mem controller design.

Save a shit load and buy decent A-data or kingston; you really can't go wrong. Stress it with memtest looping test 5 and then 8; if its bad it will show so return it for another 2.

      Best Skyline ever

      By Skip33 · Posted

      Yeah that is true. I haven't seen any Australian auction prices for 34s. Did see a r33 gtst series 2 go for 21k at Lloyd's the other week. Definitely seems like people selling their Skylines that have sat in the front yard for the last 10 years are a little delusional.

      The exact direct fit seat belts are R33-specific. Should be able to get it from any Nissan dealer.

      No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
