No, I know that was just saying their names as knew them due to havin to do the project, wasnt questioning if he was part of the family.

Very profitable company

BTW- Was it bolton Grammar or any of them?

Had someone I know from another forum run 3dMark05, and with a similar system to mine (apart from he's running a 256MB 7800GTX and mine's a 256MB 6800GT), his score blitzed mine by at least 2,000! So, roll on a 512MB 7800GTX, or even two of them, and I might see 10,000 in 3dMark05!

Although my 6800GT will play Call of Duty 2, in 1280x1024 @ 85Hz, in directX9 mode, very smoothly......no juddering at all, which is nice!

It's also an absolutely superb game!
