hmmm maybe i spend too long on here, i joined at the very end of december and ive already got 100 posts,

i gotta say tho, after only being here for 20 days ive already found out that its a great community , very helpful and very friendly.

posting a question on here is usualy a quicker way of getting an answer than googling it, thats what you call good lol

just a thought, how many registered users are there here?

No thats what pisses people off, and not using the search feature on here... And ultimately leads to the forum slowing down and taking more effort to maintain.

sorry, i mean if its a question that has not been previously adressed on the forum, such as a new idea, you are almost certain that you can find someone on here are knowlegeable on all things car related that would be able to answer a question.

i almost always do a search before posting, but the times that i dont i get my head bitten off by someone.

i only said that to reflect the speed of responses and the usefulness of this forum, i am not out to piss-off people with stupid questions like "what is heavier, a pinto or a blackbird engine?" its just some times the question has not been asked before so searching would be useless

DIY Si - 17/1/07 at 08:46 PM

Nope, 'fraid not, just seems that way! 01/04/06 as it happens! April Fools day last year.


JoelP - 17/1/07 at 09:12 PM

how odd! Everyone elses is the other way round I always thought you were back to front (you walked into that one!)


DIY Si - 17/1/07 at 09:19 PM

If you look at my profile in the member's list it has 01/04/06. MMmmm odd. And I'm not backwards, I just live in a village in the sticks!

Point taken but Its sometimes nice for us newbes to answer the questions more experienced users have got bored of answering! Makes us feel useful!

Regards,
Iain

If you have a geforce card already all you need to do is pull the old card out and stick the new one in, simple as that The drivers should automatically detect the change and reconfigure as necessary, if they dont just uninstall them and reinstall the newer ones. Up to you.

Nice card BTW

Ah, but he can post at work. Some of us have real jobs! Not that I'm one of those people, but some of us do.
