Awesome that you've got it :) (Rakk is very jealous now)

I tend to put my photos on one of the image sharing sites, like Flickr or ImageShack, then you can show them :)

I refuse to say nice things about it until there are pictures! (And that has nothing to do with jealousy...at all...nope...nothing to do with it...at all...nope....)

To upload a picture:

1) Take a picture (do not use a Polaroid or old style film camera...I mean you can, but it wont help)
2) Upload picture to PC.
3) Goto pic sharing site, such as tinypic (others are available but I cant be bothered to look them up) and Upload picture from PC.
4) Reply to this thread, and use the Forum code provided by the image hosting site (the one with
) and paste it in.
5)Rinse and repeat untit satisfied.

Or someone else exlpain a better way :D

Well, just got it up and running and a quick check of the Windows Experience Index gives:

Overall: 7.8
Processor: 7.8
RAM: 7.8
Graphics: 7.9
Gaming Graphics: 7.9
Hard Disk: 7.9

Damn you Sandy Bridge! I could have had 7.9! :D

Students these days, I ask you. You are meant to have bigger, better stuff at home, only to go to Uni and live in a small room with mediocre stuff AND LIKE IT! :D

+Rep for the album. It really is terribly shiny literally and metaphorically (whatever metaphorically shiny is)

Temps after benchmark:
GPU1: 64C

You probably have but just checking have updated the GPU drivers and have you patched the game ? and does it crash to desktop or the whole system?

Its a retail copy. Seems to have sorted itself out now, I just reinstalled the new drivers and it seemed to fix itself :)
Also, I am probably being blind, but I can't find any patches on the EA site. Link please?
