Pastagaman Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) Humm what will happened if a cop find this in your car ? (in France is (unfortunately) not allowed to have this kind of detector in a car). Edited June 28, 2006 by Pastagaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaml1ne Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 stream1ine, this is your fault. After reading your comment in response to my speeding ticket, I did some research and came to realize that the Valentine 1 is a gift from god and no driver with a quick car should be without one. It does carry a high price tag, but after reading reports that it can sniff K + Ka bands from miles away, I'm sold. It also has a directional arrow system to tell you where the radar source is emanating from, as well as a counter for the different signals it picks up (so, if there was two cop cars ahead with radar on, it'd show a 2 on the display). Laser signals, which are hard to detect, can be detected by this device if the signal bounces off another car and scatters. Should be here on Friday.. POP protection too. You can also send it back to be upgraded with new features as they come out. It's an awesome toy. In states where detectors are legal it also serves as a great BS detector. If a cop does pull you over and tells you you were speeding you can call bulls**t on it cuz there's no way they're evading the V1. And they know it Pastagaman: In alot of states in the US detectors are perfectly legal. Some states they're illegal, like Virginia. They will pull you over and check to see if the unit is warm thereby telling them you were using it, and subsequently ticket you.At the very least it serves as a reminder that you should check your speed more often. But it's just as good for those times at night when the roads are empty and you want to open it up a bit, hehe. Speed safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury_in_flames Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well I wanted to get SLI, then i saw the GX27950 and thought well if i can sell my current 256mb 7900gt on ebay for 20 pounds less than i paid for it new, then i can just get the GX2. Well i had a look at the reviews, and decided that one gx2 really only gets the greatest results when you are running it on a 20 inch screen. I have overclocked my card to 480mhz core clock speed and 885 memory clock speed, and wil be getting a second 7900gt next thursday delivered to me. Ok if i had got the gx2 i could have bought a second one later down the line for quad core SLI, but figured i am not that hard core a gamer and 400 pounds is alot to spend twice. I just thought that if i had the two GX2's then if i got a 20 inch screen i could use that as my TV and be able to run the games at max res. But never mind, I should learn to be happier with when i get my second 7900gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smkranz Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Mario Kart DSOne of my kids plays Mario Kart DS via Wi-Fi with people all around the world...I guess. He says he can't tell where the other players are from. I gotta hand it to Nintendo, this system seems to work really well, and I think he has more fun with it when he's playing a bunch of strangers than with one of his brothers across the room, whom he can pretty much beat any time. Even when he gets the snot kicked out of him by some hot-shot player, he keeps going back in for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercury_in_flames Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Just got this, hope to test my 7900's further. From doing the stress test and only getting 'medium' performance computer, i suspect it's something to do with my cpu. Doesnt really matter i guess. With everything set to max, i got fps' from 21 up until 100 so lol i guess i'll have to try the game at full graphics and THEN go to medium if i see its not all 100%.
