I dont agree with that, you can burn more energy than doing nothing by doing things such as sprints, and other anerobic, practically full out activities - but you wont loose fat. you will however gain muscle but muscle as im sure you know weighs more than fat. As i have said, if you want to loose weight and become fitter, walking is great as its prolonged activity that raises the heart rate (aerobic) and will burn fat. True swimming is easy on the joints and swimming is a good one, but you want to use the same principle in that swim fairly slowly or slow enough so you dont have to stop to raise your heart rate for a relativley long period of time to burn fat. Walking can be made slightly less tiresom on the joints by using poles, or walking on soft ground. Cycling is also another alternative, but not flat out... as you want aerobic, prolonged exercise to loose fat and weight..... hope this helps, cheers

the way i see it, walking and gentle cycling, and swimming are amongst the best activities. you want to raise your heart rate slightly (not maximal all out effort, such as sprinting) for a relativley long period of time. personally i belive the best amd most accesible way of loosing weight is walking, if you walk to town or whatever instead of getting the bus, thats a start. a good long walk in the country side will be great the longer the walk the better taking it at a steady pace. my two cents.

sent you an email, cheers

EH? im actually intrested put them in a few quid below the going rate on ebay and someone will snap them up straight away, gives you abit of pocket money

ghozer i find your fps talks about your card and crysis to be quite amusing but i'll leave you too that... damn thse ATI fanboys!! getting abit annoying now And anyway i wouldnt consider 35-45 to be super playable, and dips as low as 20 to be unplayable for me. and i stand by my point that no cards can handle crysis yet properly. You are indeed a strange chap if you think otherwise

ghozer your clearly an ATI fanboy but we will ignore that and i was just stating the idle temprature to help him incase he had any misconseptions about the cards getting incredibly hot... i wasnt trying to bost so your seemingly sarcy response was somewhat unwelcomed

i have leadtek 8800GT OC. It has the larger fan and runs at 50 degrees idle.

avast.com free, very un-intrusive... antivirus and firewall bundled into 1 aslong as you dont visit dodgie sites you will never need worry again

Did you even have a look at the link i just gave you? lol But if it were me, i would go with 8800GT. ( I have one) I had to make this same decision and from looking at THE LINK I PROVIDED and considering price and other stuff i ended up with 8800GT. Never looked back, was a great choice. PS. 8800GT is single slot

8800GT for about £130 for your requirments there is no need to go silly 8800GT will handle all games you throw at it apart from crysis obviously (but no cards can handle that yet) save your money. no point in going silly

basically with laptops its pretty much impossible or extremley difficult to upgrade a laptops graphics. In short, i dont think you will be able to. If however you want to improve performance upgrading the laptops memory is a more viable option. best of luck

saw it on release, was indeed quite boring... Ironman however is well worth a watch!

leapftwp, smartftp.com is also good, free trial for 30 days then just click ok once trial expires

somehow i doubt that person would be on this forum... threads like this are so pointless sometimes and i know i know... i shouldnt bother posting if i cant contribue but what the hey im in a bad mood.
