Well, I'm home and boy did we have a great time. I will start a new Duxford debrief thread tomorrow so that we can put links to some of the fantastic pictures and videos we have.
We saw some brilliant planes both at Duxford and The RAF Museum at Hendon.
We also meet up with Fotoflyer, a couple of the guys from the zoo stopped by to speak to us and BG even managed to recruit a guy whilst drinking in the pub! what a star LOL.
glad you got it sorted, you could have always brought it with you on saturday and we all could have had a lesson on how to take a pc apart hosted by Roger !
Gentlemen,
As the great day is nearly upon us, it is time to make some formal meet-up arrangements.
After a quick chat with BG last night we came up with the following
We meet outside the American Air Museum.
When facing the building entrance we will meet to the right-hand side of the building.
The meeting time has been planned for 10:00 am
For Psycho who will be arriving later we will get someone to be in the same place at 13:30 for 15 minutes and then
At 14:30 and 15:30 again for 15 minutes each time.
If anyone has any issues with this plan please let me know and we will sort something out.
Looking forward to meeting everyone

P-38 Lightning Glacier Girl’s mission is postponed : P-51 Mustang Miss Velma to complete the journey alone
It is with huge regret that The Fighter Collection and Imperial War Museum Duxford announce that Glacier Girl is unable to continue her journey to the UK to complete her mission and star in the forthcoming Flying Legends Air Show.
The aircraft developed a serious mechanical problem, leaving her grounded at Goose Bay.
I personnaly would like to get in to the airfield as soon as possible.
This is aimed at Glenn, BG and Mick, what time do you think you may be ready / had thought leaving the hotel for the show? (after rising from a drunken stuper

if i replace the cpu (as Quazi has suggested I could and could) does this cause any licence complications with microshaft? having a dell i do not have a full blown xp cd, so would not like to attempt a re-format
many thanks for the continued support guys.
I am in dialogue with Quazi who is suggesting a few things as well.
I will keep you all posted as to what i decide to do.
S!

having looked at that link dave posted, i am now not sure that it may have extra connections. they are like those in the picture but have a black cover over them, i took a couple of pics tonight so i will try and post them up to see if they are useable.
many thanks for the advice guys.
@delta7 - sorry, i dont understand what you mean about "you should try to put the graphics card on its own power rail"
if this all fails my plan (shhhhhh dont tell the wife yet..) is to build my own gaming rig, one element a month to spread the cost. need to finsh building the pond first to keep her happy.
if psycho IS comming on saturday, he has the little problem of a ticket. he could leave it to get one on the door (just in case he doent make it) or
I purchase another one and Glenn sends him his I can then give Glenn his ticket on the day?
my machine is a dell dimension 4500
processor is intel p4 2.53ghz with 1gb memory (2 x 512) which is maximum.
any pointers/advice welcome.
p.s budget is very tight (unless i re-direct the funds i have earmarked for an x52)
if i drop the x52 (which i am not that keen to do) i could go to £90 but only if i am going to get a BIG difference, otherwise i am looking at about 60-70 absolute max.
if nothing is in my range i would rather save the money in pot for future use!
i am thinking of replaceing my nvidia geforce fx5200 128mb for a few rungs up the ladder.
i have seen a geforce fx6200 256mb for about £35, is this a step worth taking to squeeze a bit more out of my old girl?
