I too am running the 930. I'm reading some good stuff on the Ivy bridge stuff! I've been able to run 40 applications on my computer in 5GB of RAM with ease!

Haha cheers :)
It only took me about 10 years to get half decent parts... A year ago I was struggling to run lfs with 40fps...

Lookin good! Id be tempted to move those monitors towards the wheel a bit if possible just to up the realism a bit :D I like it when the on screen dash and wheel are the 'right' size comapred to real life. Youd need to drop your FOV down a fair bit to get to that point mind!

Yeah, I did think about that. Problem is the monitor mount clamps to the edge of the desk. I messed around with FOV a lot trying different levels out. But I found this gave me the best sense of speed while being able to see enough.

All down to personal choice in the end eh. I used to play on a 15" monitor and never thought anything of it once I was in the middle of a race. Once youre immersed anything else is just a bonus.

Nice to see youre using the texture pack I put up too. I spot a couple of my Fern Bay adverts in the screen shots :D
