I am assuming I can use the RAM I have now in my PC.  I have 2GB of PC3200.  I also plan on getting a SATA Raid drive for it, I assume they are better then IDE (faster).

I have heard where you put a bit of the paste on the processor and then use a razor blade to spread it into a thin layer.  Its supposed to fill in all the pits and bumps on the CPU.

I had heard a rumor that the demo was going to be available for download at the launch of the PS3.  Almost made me camp out to get one (not, its November).  Anyone get it yet??

The only bad thing with the F1 games for the PC (think it was Greg Hammond or something who made them) was that it seemed like sometimes youd come in for wets and within a lap it would start to clear up.  You could get perhaps 1 or 2 laps on wets before the racing line would dry too much.  Seemed kinda staged.

They did have very good effects also with the way the track would get wet and dry after the rain.  You really had to stay on the groove that was dry, hit the wet areas and its Hello Sandtrap. 

The video I saw was mind blowing (the one for F1 PS3)  Really hope it comes to the US, if not I will need to get it from overseas.

I am think of the days playing Grand Prix for the PC (back a few years ago).  Really liked how you could tell from the sky where the rain was.  Really made for a technical race, espically when part of the track would be wet and part was dry.  Its like....Do I come in for wets or stay out?  Much better than NASCAR, as cool as the Papy games were, the 500 miles of right turns could put ya to sleep.

Just joined the union, looks good :)
