That "track" was Brands Hatch (although an early version). I too was very
impressed by the suspension model. I am not too impressed by your blatant
disregard for one of my favourite tracks in the world ('testtrack' indeed
:-).

It didn't crash often enough for Microsoft's liking...

Yes it does, if I have to buy a new computer/video card every year.  I can't
afford to upgrade right now, so I'll have to start letting these games pass me
by.  Of course by the time WSC comes out in 2005, I might be able to afford a
new system for it...

It drops the pool of cards that *will* run on it, though.  Granted, it's
inevitable that supported vid cards get dropped all the time.  The Voodoo 3
won't run dx8.1, will it?  It seems I remember some V3 owners getting left
behind on either N2k2 or F1 2001...
It happens, but it doesn't mean people have to be HAPPY about it... :-(

Yeah thats absolutely right, you'll not need a "DX9" card to run DX9 - in
the same way you dont need a DX8 card to run DX8.  It has just extra
features whicih should be exploited if people have the cards.

All the best,
Ash

He's talking 'bout an earlier video with featuring a track actually designed
to test suspension, featuring a washboard, a speed bump and a couple raised
strips. Quite impressive to see the car (no bodywork) "working" over those.

   The V3 has DX8.1 drivers, but the 16 megs of onboard video memory is/are
too small for many of the large textures programmers are using today....same
result tho....the V3 is having a tougher time finding new programs that
still work with it.

Credit cards are the reason I don't have any money NOW.  It made it too easy to
spend money I didn't *have* on stupid shit I didn't NEED... :-(

Hehe.  Haven't we all, Eldred :)

I had a $250,000 spine operation in 1994 (well, several, actually) and I
_still_ haven't recovered from the deductables, the "We pay the going rate,
you pay the difference" letters from the Insurance company, and lost work
time.  I'm going to be paying off "Living Expenses" for the next 10 years...

Oh, well.  That's life :)

You know, it seems that the fuller they get, the more new one's that come in
the mail!

I only have two now.  All the rest are paid off and destroyed, and I don't
even open the 'offers' that come in the mail.  They go right to the
shredder.

Citibank hits on me about 7 times a month.

Not nearly as bad as Community Bank, who wants my mortgage.  I get no less
than 12-15 solicitations a month from them.  It's borderline comical.

No, that's not life, that's ***.

The great irony is the extra hours of work you will have to put in to pay
for said operation will financially cripple you, probably give you a back
injury from stress, over-stretching or other over work and destroy the life
that you would have had.
