    fair enough. im not complaining as i know it will be fixed.

    as for waiting till the price drops thats cool, i saved £600 by buying my stuff in the states when i was there last week so im not bothered. and i am not one for buying top end hardware and this is the first time i have ever been able to afford it so the problems are too be expected.

    as for nvidia i used them for 3 years till ati improved lots and used them for the last 3 and have never had a problem with either.

    build time tonight 🙂

    Definately framerate over beauty. I’m fortunate enough these days (for the first time ever) to run games at top gfx settings and still have a decent framerate, but even though games do look wonderful, the moment I find my framerate suffering the settings will be adjusted down. I’d rather see a few ugly kills, than alot of gorgeous deaths.

    agreed, performance over graphics. a higher frame rate will improve a multiplayer gaming experience far more than graphcs.

    nuclear fission does produce a bi-product. but so do fossil fuels. the fact that no-one immediately associates fossil fuels with a bi-product we dont mind them. technology for long term safe storage of nuclear biproducts is now so much more advanced that what it was 30 years ago (when nuclear energy programmes started in earnest). its got to be better than using the environment to store the bi-products hasn’t it?

    as for nuclear fusion, its not been able to get it working fully on a large sustainable scale but it will be and the benefit of it is that its completely safe and clean. but is the government going to put the cash from this new tax into a concerted effort to researching new clean energy sources? it will put a few hundred million into it most likely but thats just so it can say at election time “ooh look at us we are spending millions” but what are they going to do with the rest? its not even going to go back onto the road network from where it came.

    Sorry fellows, but it won’t do any good.

    The main reason that the government is introducing road pricing is because petrol is going to run out eventually, and how else are they going to charge us for using the roads if they can’t tax fuel?

    Electric cars or hydrogen fuel cells would be notoriously hard to find ways of taxing, so they’re going to charge us for the privilege of using the roads instead. But it won’t end there, in London we currently have the congestion charge, but using this system (and the governments agreement) they could introduce congestion charging ANYWHERE.

    It’s a shit situation, but from what I’ve heard the decision is already set in stone.

    we will not be running out of petrol for a long time to come (there is a supply of opil larger than the north sea oil reserves around the Falkland Islands, but again politics is preventing it from being removed………..you didnt seriously think that we went to war for nothing did you?) the only problem is the rising prices of it and the effects on the environment whcih the government is using as the reason for this legislation. secondly to all those people who run off non petrol cars, where do you think the energy is coming from to power your environmentally clean car? yes you got it another non renewable fossil fuel source is being used to make it.

    for this whole idea to work all cars should be run off electricity created from a renewable energy source, nuclear fusion anyone? hell even nuclear fission is cleaner and better for the environment that fossil fuels but the governement wont creat more nuclear plants as they are “bad” and wont be re-elected.

    this whole scheme is nothing more than another way for the governement to make another bucket load of cash and not spend it where its damn well needed.

    its a bollocks idea made by short sighted money grabbing fucktards!

    excuse the rant and my French
