new host on-line UK

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 Ian

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? Tony "Colin Harris" wrote: > GPL you'll be able to host pretty much a full field. N4, I've gone to 14or > so, hasn't *seemed* to be a problem.

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 "Ian Greenwood" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
