Hi all

i am receiving a cable modem next week from blueyonder and am hoping
to finally host some races here in the UK. My question is that I have
an ISA network card, would this 'hold things up' compared to using a
PCI version.

My system specs:

Duron 800 overclocked to 1000

Geforce 2 MX

6.4gig HD

ABit KT133 m/board etc

no problem, matey (depending on which game, how many cars, etc)
Blueyonder, IMO, do a good service, too. I've had their broadband for 2
months, only once (this morning!) did anything go wrong - email temporarily
down - and it was soon fixed.

GPL you'll be able to host pretty much a full field. N4, I've gone to 14 or
so, hasn't *seemed* to be a problem.

Good news - I get my blueyonder cable modem in a couple of weeks.

Presumably there should be some advantage connecting up other people on the
same blueyonder service?

Any other blueyonder cable users out there?

Ian,
Some words of advice:
If u drive on the same computer as u r hosting remember that GPL is
processor intensive and if your frame rate falls bellow 36 then people will
be disco-ed

I use a cable modem and host from one computer while I join from a computer
networked to the host machine. This leaves processor on the host free to do
the bis.

Also u will have 512k/128k connection, this is only reliable for hosting 10
cars. I've tried 12 but frequent discos occured. I do have an excellent
tested connection so believe me!

Join a race on VROC - CB4UKhost and meet me there.
regards,
Alan
