thanks to you all for your advice, i will go get me a new card....

I have succumb; not happy with this NVS card....

Anssi, I will look at the cards you mention.

Thanks all, great comments...

Juju / remus: SMP, pardon my ignorance, what is it!! So a really fast Core 2 Duo would be better than a Core 2 Quad Q6600 [2.4GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 8MB]

sketch3d.de: why FX rather than NVS?

thanks in advance...

I remember during the last Base Camp hiding myself in a cupboard and sobbed for days because i was on the other side of the world and didn't have enough Frequent Flyer point to go..... If only ducati monster could float, Craig, I would fill the tank and start sailing!!!!

Hope those fortunate few report back as Ross M [i think] and others did following the last one....Cheers

Townsville, Queensland, Australia, the lucky country. Beautiful place; vibrant, accessible ang great weather...
angusog, I think you would be suprised at the number of AU-SU 'nutters' that frequent this place!!

I'm going outside to play.

Later

OK,
So i bought my new system and after reading a few of the posts in here regarding RAM, 32 or 64bit, Graphics cards..... what do you think would be the best solution for SU? [and keep in the back of your mind you are paying for it!!!]

My new system is:
Core 2 Quad
4GM RAM
NVIDIA NVS290 graphics card

I seems to be having a few issues with the Card I think; nowhere near as sharp and responsive as the NVS110 in my notebook.

I'm ready to sharpen my HB and go back to the board....

thanks in advance,

WOW Whaat!!!
Been on holidays for a while and come back and see this; SU just screamed out to the free form community big time!!!

I will follow this thread with much interest and anticipation....

Hi Gidon, It seems you have a quite a bit of depth to work with; how deep is the recess? I am thinking you should rotate the the bottles to face outward and angle them down. This was your client will be able to get more on the wall..... you know the more you see the more you drink. [or is that just me]

Also, maybe think about lightening up the wine rack frames; maybe with another product other than timber. It sound like there is enough timber throughout the restuarant to deal with.

attached the .skp file so we can have a play.....

Anssi, I guess it is a balance between what works and how thick your wallet is!!! I like you am not interested in gaming but do need to chose economically.....
It seems that the NVS290 is OK so far but thanks for yoru input; if only we could trial these things to see what works before you purchase.....

It seems to be quite a nice mix Anssi. I am interested in your preferences though; what do you use?

Cheers Remus, will give it a go...
Ta,

Hi all, Happy Easter!!!!

A quick question; maybe I'm missing something.... I have upgraded my computer and loaded SU6 onto it, set it to read my template and it seems the only thing that doesn't load is my shortcuts. Is there another file associated with SU that saves this info?

Cheers, hope the 'floppy eared' guy makes you happy.....

You are a good guy, Alan; always generous with space for storage...
Anssi, what card do you recommend? It seems OK to me?

OK, a parcel just arrived in my office with an:

Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 [2.4Hz 1066Mhz FSB, 8MB cache] Proccessor
4GB [2 x 2GB DDR2 667Mhz]
400 GB HDD
Leadtek PCIe x16 Quadro 290NVS 256MB PCI Express x 16 Dual Head Card

...in it. What should I do?

Thanks John, By Gradients I mean the slope of ground away from the cut line. say 1 in 4 or 1 in 2 etc....

Alan

Here's another idea... I would love to get a "Queen for a day" spa package.... massage, hair, nails, lunch, facial, pedicure..... now that sounds like heaven.

Tianne, I did just that, almost. I gave my wife a deluxe facial at her favorite beauty spot and she was plesantly suprised....

needless to say she doesn't need it, she's adorable!!!

Hey all,
