New laptop coming... Can't wait!!!

Time to finally retire the old P-II 333Mhz laptop... Just ordered a P4 2.66G DVD CDRW Laptop+Radeon 9000 /60G/SXGA+/512 notebook. YAHOO!! I think it should be just a little faster :-D Can't wait to see GPL with some graphics turned on at higher than 15fps ;-) I've wanted to try out netKar for a long time, but my old system wouldn't run it. Can't wait! Todd Wasson Racing Software http://PerformanceSimulations.com http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

Congrats, Todd, a killer machine! You should definitely try netkar, it's improving all the time. What happened to your engine simulations?

Thanks Wojtek! Sounds like netKar has become pretty good (not that it ever wasn't, of course), I'm looking forward to trying it :-) The engine simulations are on the back burner right now. It's crunch time on another project and I'm working on a new tire model instead right now (this will be # 3, or really # 2.5 I guess ;-)). It might be two or three months before I get heavily back into the engine stuff again, sorry :-( Thanks for asking though!

My Savage-equipped P-II 500 brought me through GP3 and gave me a tantalising taste of GPL and N4. After years of processor envy, notebooks finally hit the big time in 2002. Get a decent small analog controller like the logitech rumblepad or something and you can take your fun on the road. People give me funny looks on the plane, but what the hell, it's better than watching some second-grade movie. Stephen

Congrats. Here is a link you might need: http://www.omegacorner.com/ Problem with Notebooks is that, most of the times, if not always, the drivers are old (tre for Toshiba, Dell, ..). These drivers are based on Catalyst 3.5, but are compatible with all boards, including the Mobility Radeons. Nice playing, Brian "J.

Good idea. I'll have to pick one up. This will be such a far cry from my 333Mhz system I may not get any work done for awhile ;-) Todd Wasson Racing Software http://PerformanceSimulations.com http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

Cool, Brian, thanks for the link. I just checked it though and it looks like he's removed everything because some lawyers have been breathing down his neck.. Dunno though, I just read the news page and didn't dig around too much. Todd Wasson Racing Software http://PerformanceSimulations.com http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

Actually, that was only nVidia stuff, they've been flexing their muscles again, although that seems to have been sorted now as well, according to him he hasn't had any problems with ATI Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
