May Painless' birthday be as Painless as Painless' other birthdays. Jolly good show old chap!

Yep, I tried the updater myself. Runs much better than the patched 4.09. So I guess I'm down to 2 copies now.

Yeah looks tempting but I need a PCI slot. Don't want to buy a new soundcard yet. Thinking about the ASUS P8P67 DELUXE here. Nice board, UEFI, PCI slots, two x16 slots(x8/x8), 8 backpanel USB etc. Should be plenty. I'm not sure how much of a difference there is between a 2500k and 2600k though, besides 2 more mb L3 in the 2600k plus hyperthreading. I think I'm going for the 2500k.

I'm starting to think that Maddox does that on purpose. To give us a hallelujah moment when we first fly the sim.

Two well known and respected brands. I'm curious about the new UEFI bios so it may be Asus for me as well. Time will show. Gigabyte doesn't incorporate UEFI yet so I'll have to leave Gigglebyte's side for my upgrade.

If you have a 775 cpu cooler you're very satisfied with(like me), ASRock P67 boards have both 1156/1155 AND 775 mounting holes incorporated. I'm thinking about getting either the ASRock P67 Extreme 4 or Extreme 6. Pretty decent pricing on those.

The integrated Intel HD3000 graphics usually performs on par with an ATI HD 5450/Nvidia GT220, on turboboost, so I wouldn't really consider it for a gaming computer. You can kinda overclock the 2600/2500 as well, but it has a locked multi so the only option is to run it with "turboboost" option, which is limited to around 4.2-4.3gHz and from my experience, those kinds of tools usually adds alot more heat than overclocking normally, since they tend to bump up the voltages quite a bit more than necessary. I'm not experienced with SB though so they might have refined the "noob overclocking utilities" a bit. There is no DX11 support in H67/P67Sandy Bridge IPG's, so if you want to play Cliffs of Dover in DX11, you can't. The only reason to why I'd pick the H67 is if I did lots of video encoding, film making etc. and not much gaming. The Sandy Bridge procs rule when it comes to converting/encoding because of the extra horsepower from the IGP. It is a nice architecture and very flexible for the normal user, but if you run games at 1600x1200 and above, H67 will limit your options quite badly. You can also forget using much AA or AF with the integrated Sandy Bridge graphics. Especially AF. However, DirectX 11 and DirectX 10.1 graphics support is largely a moot point with regard to integrated graphics. Whatever GPU capabilities that are present in Sandy Bridge and Fusion, they are more suited to entry-level gaming and playing games from a generation or two ago rather than taking on top-tier DirectX 11 titles. For that task, using one or more high-end discrete graphics cards is highly recommended. That's my 2 cents anyway.

You can have my job, Jedi, lots of weird chemicals and destruction with a 5ton forklift. Fun stuff.

Yeah, I watched it again and it seems to me they have used some footage a bit "off piste" or so to speak lol. TV documentaries are not all kosher all the time IMO, so take some of it with a grain of salt. I digged it for the footage and seeing legendary Aces in old interviews. Especially Hartmann, which I have never seen in an interview before.

Happy CrashDay!

Here's our version of the MRE, the RSP. Eat one of those and you'll keep going forever. LOL

Not sure if I follow. What I got out of it was that Spain was used as a test platform for the 109 up until E models(E's only at the final stage of the war). In other words, B and C models were indeed used in Spain.

It even has some old interviews of German and Allied Aces. Galland and Hartmann included. Take a look! 6 parts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB4w4tP7uzs

When you struggle with the "authorities", think of this song:

I suppose they can't get them fitted with the Trent 890 or 895 instead? How many A380's are in Qantas fleet?

Jedi doesn't like Finns nor Russians so I doubt there are any facts about either.

I thought you had incorporated a handbrake there. LOL Proof right there that you don't need lots of dough to have a nice setup. Good work man! It is like they say, better to have a stick between your legs than in your hand.

No wonder smallpox disappeared in 1979. That year, especially the month of April, was a great revelation to this world.

Welcome back to the Swedish Whine Monopoly( )in Strömstad mate! Don´t forget to fill up your stash of Göteberg Rapé They have nothing to "whine" about. Those bastards can use banknotes as toilet paper and still they'd have plenty of profit. I think the words you were looking for are The System Company... Anyway, any news on the mail bitches, Sir BG?
