    Default Grid New Beginnings PC

    Got the game a while back and it ran so bad it was unplayable, got an X-Box controller and it got slightly better, just played it since dumping in a 9800GT and a 2.4 Quad and it's a different game, won one race in a Stang, hooked now, and I've got the settings max'd out.

    I think the card has helped no end, before I think the card was trying to keep up with the game and failing, now though when I push the controler it does as it should instead of going from one side of the track to the other.

    Darn, I was hoping you were trying to sell it then because that's the same graphics card I've got, except it married up to a 3.8 Dual, 8GB of RAM with the whole thing watercooled...

    Changing the subject, I notice most vendors are selling with 3 gig of ram and stating XP wont recognise any more, well, I've always had 4 gigs in and XP saw it as 3.5 gigs, same with Vista HP 32, but since I fitted the Quad, Vista reports the full 4 gigs now, XP is still at 3.5 though, so RAMp it up

    Yeah it's a recent update to Vista I think - it reports how much you've got, but still can't use more than the 3.5, minus the 512mb your graphics card will be using...
