Yeah new 178.24 drivers gave me no extra gains, just artifacts. I went back to 175.19. If you are not on a new new system, with the latest video cards, like my 7800 series, I wouldnt recommend this new driver for XP Pro SP3.

Oh yeah, that was a laugh. I have never seen or joined a TIME ONLY server, until last night. Apparently this admin team lets you just sit in a server so you can stat pad your time in vehicles or whatever. I was kicked shortly after my first 14-0 run in the cobra, for FOLLOW RULES! No points, just TIME. Sad little buggers.
