    did you try it on stock settings?

    we need to gather more info about the OC and make a post. I havent found any software that gives gains with the OC and I think we need to try and get this highlighted to Dell.

    Arklight - is that game any good? I got a beta key and had to go out of town. I never installed it but I believe I still have the key. (I thought) they said the beta was closed. Did they start another?

    Good to hear positive results out of the R2.

    Best Wishes,

    StevenX

    Another round of the beta started yesterday. I had alot of the problems with the game though. I am not sure if they added any of these in yet but when I played, they locked out the option to change your keybindings. Also I could never get in a multiplayer race, no matter how much I tried. Also it seemed like everytime I turned, it would try to steer me back in a straight line.This was very early in the beta so it could have changed though. I believe they added a new area for beta and some more cars. Should check it out. I still had some fun with the game.
