I got my new motherboard through Heppy and am more than happy with the service and the price he gave.
Since he gave a fantastic service and a great deal, I decided to run his shop logo on all my car skins from now on.
Wont go anywhere else for my parts now, and he knows what he is doing if you cant do it yourself.

Having said that, when we got the G25 through VR Concepts, they were just as good with their service and support.

Mayaswell update what I'v actually done :larf:

Went and got a gigabyte 9600gt.

And arriving today (I hope) from Heppy is my New Intel E6550 Duel Core proccessor _b

I got great improvement just from the graphics card, rFactor performs much much better with large feilds and at night etc. and had no problems at Le Man last night, a place where my 7600gt has always struggled.

In conclusion Huge bang for buck in my opinion for the 9600GT, I will eventually go and spend more money on a new rig but for now this will do me :D
