    Yep, I heard good things about them, but there are other sites.

    I'm not surprised they would do that.

    I think my reverse left turn and reverse parallel parking are gonna be perfect from now on. However, I'm still not really able to pull away quickly and smoothly. I tried to rush it once today and stalled. BLAH. I'm like 16 1/2 hours into driving, I shouldn't be stalling.

    The car you're learning in, is it always the exact same car for all your lessons?
    Also, do you know if it has a cable or hydraulic clutch?

    Same car always. My instructor only has the one car, he's not making a lot of money from this business he reckons. It's the only one I've ever driven. Peugeot 206 HDI 1.4 diesel. No idea what clutch it has.

    Is this a good processor, better than the E2200 I have now?

    Slower clock speed, but that doesn't mean shit, right?

    Look it up

    Anyway, try feathering the clutch a little when taking off and give it a little power at the same time.

    Do you ever get any clutch shudder? If you do it probably has a cable clutch.
    I'm not talking about the car lurching when you accelerate from stationary.

    Ah well, it's the only 6xxx CPU that doesn't cost over £20 odd. I wouldn't want to put £60 into a CPU for this board, when I could be replacing the board, CPU and RAM all at once for similar kinds of money.

    Works nicely surprisingly, got the graphics down low and running at 1366x768, but it still looks pretty nice.

    Intel E7200 purchased on Kouen's recommendation.

    HIS 5770 Radeon 1GB being acquired as we speak.

    640GB SATA WD HDD being bought from a woman on Facebook for £25.

    600W PSU to be purchased on Friday from eBuyer, and a £13 DVD-RW SATA burner.
