Call SBC/AT&T and see how far away you are from the CO or RT because that'll determine your overall throughput.

Yes the Logitech Driving Force Pro works for PC. It's precisely what I'm using it with. I play Toca Race Driver 3 with it. I totally rock now on the online plays!

Yeah, I know I posted it before, but my new toy is the VGA cable (really cheap) that I used to get a 37" monitor.
Part of the reason why I bought that LCD TV was that its super duper useable through VGA in a native resolution with 1:1 pixelmapping...

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6628/test3hs.th.jpg

And since most recent games have a 1360x768 mode, I can play like hell on it. LFS also does the trick...

I thought people would ask that since its an extremly awesome M5 in WorldRacing2... And the cockpit is off da hook!

Unfortunetly the guy who designed it (he works now for the company who did the game, he REALLY is that good) choose to let a woman drive the M5... Therefore the red fingernails. I hoped nobody would notice. Our resident detective somehow got it images/smilies/wink.gif
The M3 CSL for the game is also driven by the same girl, but at least the M6 is a proper boy racer images/smilies/wink.gif

Bad news for those interested: Newest Starforce, could possibly be cracked by unplugging your Optical drives or having an Nforce 3 or 4 board... I bought it...
