RE: THE LOUNGE 2
no the old card shouldn't have any issues running the bigger screen.. problem that may occur if you can call it that is the resolution of the old card might not go up as high as the screen needs..
out of range usually refers to the resolution set on the pc being under or over the maximum limits of the television.. look through the tv's manual it'll say what the resolution should be set at on the pc for optimum performance on the television

Hey everyone. I ordered my DF-02 MS today!! thats gonna be cool sitting next to my TRF501X! I got it cheap at a local hobby store. I don't need to know how much tex paid now. I plan to race it in stock buggy class. Currently I race a B4. I thought it would be cool to race ALL my classes with Tamiya vehicles. I wish Tamiya would come out with a full blown race 2wd buggy though. Here in Michigan we have a "Vintage" class that I race a Frog in. Anyway, thanks for everyones help.

haha, LB you're the only person i've ever seen who uses the crazy Microsoft "natural" keyboard. i tried one of them about 10 years ago and nearly went insane. too much time on the old buckling spring keyboards i suppose.

11/08?! That's a little bit planning ahead, no?!
There's a refinement on the 501X already.. TRF501X World Championship Edition.. so I am sure there might be something new at the time!

Well, LB Nov. 2008 Im gonna order me a 501X. Unless tamiya makes a new 502X or something...maybe who knows.

It's just better to have both the B44 and 501X. Heck I can use the saddle packs and tires/rims from racing the B44 on the 501X also.
LB when you become a R/C racer time flies by in a blink of an eye.

i mention this also because as i was getting ready to purchase my Brat, all i could think about was how many people i knew with tons of spare computer parts, and kept wishing i knew people with tons of spare RC parts. i get jealous every time i see someone post pics of some garage sale lot they got, with dozens of parts and partial RCs.

Actually out of your list of cars, I think the one I'd want the most is the Goldpan.

Just got back from a meeting. For the track. And it was great! June(they are still not 100 percent sure yet) they are gonna run an HPI cheap chassis and you
have to run oval with that chassis.Turning the go-cart slick track into an oval track.
Everything that was discussed I agreed with.

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
[quoteRandom question - assuming my Ati Radeaon 9800 Pro 128 MB vid card (a bit old, but not as old as my proc!) can handle a 19" widescreen LCD just fine....would anyone forsee problems handling a bigger, 22" widescreen just as well?
I don't play FPS games, but I enjoy RPG and RTS - so I want video performance, but don't need it insanely fast (or I'd get a new PC setup..heh).
Thoughts? ][/quote]
A bit old is an understatement. I built my computer around 4 years ago, I think? But anyway, I'm still running the card I got for it then, and it was already a bit low at the time. I have a Radeaon 5200 card, I think the only game I can technically run on it is Starcraft Brood War. I can run Battlefield 2 on it, though. This new laptop has a 7150 card, so I can run some of the games I have that use 9800, though the colors aren't the best I can at least run the game w/o any graphic lag.

I think the last computer that I bought (for myself) was a laptop when I went to grad school.. (wa, that's a long time ago.. LOL!) But after that, I just keep on getting free computer (either my sister's company is going out of business so they are throwing away their PCs, or my sister bought me one..) ha!
More $$$ for me for RCs.. (joke)
But yeah, the next time I get a new PC, I need to get one that let me run RealFlight.. so I can learn how to fly.. ha!

lol nothing wrong with that! i built my first computer from spare parts acquired from friends. the only part i had to actually buy was a case & power supply, as no one was willing to part with one! it was a crazy day, me and these two rather large friends of mine crammed into a tiny Geo Metro hatchback, driving around to visit literally every person we knew who might have spares. at the end of the day i had a relatively decent for the time AMD K5-PR90.

Man I wish I could have both a B44 and a 501X! I need to wish upon the RC fairy or something. Maybe I'll get one under my pillow. On second thought that would be a rather stiff neck the next morning, those boxes are huge.

that realflight looks fun, but i think it's a bit pricey. then again i think the point of it is to train you so you don't spread your new plane over a large radius, thus causing even more expense.
