I threw in another half gig of ram on mine to go up to a full gig, and no problems with the machine, and mine is basically 2 years old now !
I was told today that Future Shop online have a complete P4 2.8 system, with monitor, mouse, keyboard, 80 gig hd and XP on it for $299 !!!
WOW, all you would need is the $60 dollar card on top of that and good to go.
As for my racing, well slipping back a bit, I just can't quite find a setup that lets me run as hard as I want to into the corners, but working on it !!

Well,
I made the top 10 in the RC Car Action event this past week, you get 10 heats of 5 minutes, best 1 counts, top 20 then get 2 runs of 15 minutes again best 1 counts, then the top 10 go into a 1 shot 30 minute final !
WOW !! I got 114 laps and have to say I was getting bleary eyed after about 70 laps... that is tough going !
Anyway, it was a blast and have signed up for the next one which is later this month, I hope some more of the Canadian racers can enter this time round as I think there was only 4 of us in this round.
Also, if anyone else has it installed, go to the free download section and get 'hamachi' . it's a sort of messenger thing that's lets you play head to head online !! bring it on !!

Just at first try this sucks and is nothing like racing.
the setup for the cars does not seem normal. the view to drive is hard to set and is not like being on the drivers stand i dont think .
If i am doing something wrong please inform me so i can change it and try this again.

yes, you are doing several things wrong.
Don't panic though, it's a little tricky to get into at first, but well worth the effort and your 'real' racing will thank you for it !
SO, first of all, go download a setup.
Look under my profile and download my Oslo 10th scale Serpent touring setup, that works nicely.
Second, go practice and adjust the view, I like far out for close and in a bit closer for far away.
Then lastly, learn the tracks ! that's the most important bit I guess, other than having fun !
