I'm running Crysis @1680x1050 in High on a 640MB GTS runs very slick - also using the DX10 mod can run in High at the same settings all be it a little slower. Add in AA and the game looks lush but is jerky

Some do and some don't, I have found that nForce based chipsets normally do. I'd give it a go without first. When I did my XP machine I used a disk image of an IDE drive onto the new SATA drive, tried booting Windows, and all was good. My pc is however donkeys years old now, I'm guessing Service...

You do however need the drivers for the SATA controller...

Strom, you are correct SATA has no jumper settings.

Some SATA drivers are included in the chipset drivers. My intel motherboard didn't require any drivers either. Check the boot order, some BIOS's use a legacy boot system, there may be some crafty settings you need to tweek

Take a look at http://crucial.com/uk/ put in the details of laptop model, it'll tell you then what memory you need and 9 times out of 10 how much the laptop will take.

I thought it was his. Deffinately an eye catcher!

I'm pretty sure this is someone's on here! Silver Mk1 172, going Eastbound on M4 close to J8/9. I was going in the opposite direction, but car caught my eye, very nice! Karl

Saw low 20s but this was the most I saw bar 99.9 when being towed by the AA

Keep away from painted calipers, I found it stripped off the paint :-(

I sold my Blue Mk1 172 for £3,600 ~61K, Cambelt done etc, there are some steals out there.... God I done arf miss it!

Would look the b****cks imo

Understand how you are feeling dude, felt the same when I sold mine, still miss her... your's is sucha fine example... lets hope she fines a good home! Karl

The front difs went on mine, new gearbox etc, £900 common issue so renault said..

I have ditched the wirless option, and gone for a dLAN solution from Devolo. Pings are pretty good, connection bandwidth from router downstairs to pcs upstairs is arount 20mbps, quiker than broadband connection, online games run well with no noticable lag.. an option, but CAT5 ftw really!! Karl
