Yes I played and finished Dirt1&2. Dirt3 was worse so I soon abandoned it.
Can this hwmonitor 118 free edition stop cpu fan when temp is low?
Why do u use wireless connection for your main desktop pc?

[DarkstaR]

I've never tested dirt 3 yet but it seems to be good and it has a good multi option (split screen when playing at 2  ).
Hwmonitor 118 free can only display informations (fan speed, cpu/graphics/hdd temps) but cannot monitore fan speed...
I use wireless connection (mouse/keyboard) and wifi as my orange box is plcad at 8 meters from my desktop and is connected to my tv demodulator which is placed in my "salon" (living room) 
The 2nd pc (girlfriend one is just next to mine in the same room) --> centurion 534 silver/antec truepower trio 430/ c2d e7500 @11x340/abit ip35/xfx hd 5770/2x2gb hyperX pc2-8500

Is it possible to play split screen with a friend(at the same table) in dirt3? I think not.
I thought that u said Hwmonitor starts your cpc fan with 0 rpm.
When I speak for wireless connection I dont mean your mouse/keyboard/tv/2nd pc... I m talking for your desktop pc. Its better to use wired connection for this pc.

[DarkstaR]

yes it is plenty possible to play at this game (tried on a friend's pc) in split mode  As i told you hwmonitor only displays and doesn't monitore anything...it displays my "0" rpm during the 1st 3mn after booting up as my ma790 monitores my ocz gladiator cpu fan very well because of my 960t which doesn't warm at all @ 1,325v @ 5 cores... and i hate wired connection as my wireless internet connection is very quick !!
i wonder if i should go to 8gb memory it is worth or not, could you try to make the tests between 4gb and 8gb  and tell me if the difference is big ? thanks !!

I thought that hwmonitor was responsible for the zero rpm in the first minutes, but its your g/b mobo. Of course, this happens with my g/b too:) (the case 500rpm fan I ve told u earlier). Also note that Gigabyte mobos r able to control a fan, even if its 3-pin.
I d like to tell me for sure if  in Dirt3 I can play split (at the same time, at the same table) with a friend. If yes, then I ll install it again.
Wired connection VS wireless connection --> 1-0    You have no reason to use wireless connection for your main desktop pc.
DDR3 modules are too cheap in our days, so u can easily go to 8GB. Which test do u want me to do?

[DarkstaR]

Yes just read the test on "jeuxvideo.com" type dirt 3 and read it it will explain to you that the split mode is on this third version of dirt...you can effectively play with the same pc and screen at two guys !!
I would like to know if there's a difference between 4gb and 8gb in a normal day to day use of your pc...can you tell me if you notice some changes ?

[agros]

But if u corfim it yourtself (about dirt3 split mode) theres no reason to read jeuxvideo.com

Its not easy to tell u specific changes from 4 to 8GB. I guess its not easy to everybody 
We all add more and more ram in order to run a faster system... at least thats what they tell us.
One year ago I had DDR2 4GB, now its DDR3 8GB. But then it was Win XP and 3-core cpu

Well, I re-installed Dirt 3. I go to the multiplay option and choose split screen. But then wants for 2nd player to press start. Which is this button? I go to control options but I see no 2nd player buttons configuration
Can u help today?

[DarkstaR]

I only played once at this game a few months ago... to configure the 2nd player a second gamepad must be connected to the same pc and then the user only has to follow the directives... it should be simple for a performer as you !! 
I will perhaps buy it when it will be less expensive 

[agros]

What gamepad? Me and my friend will play with the (same)keyboard. Player one's keys are the cursor keys. Which are are player's two keys?
 

[DarkstaR]

Playing dirt series without any gamepad but only with keyboard keys ??
This way of playing was good from 1997 to 2003 !!! We are in 2012 and playing with the microsoft xbox gamepad for pc edition is a must !! Above all with arcade rally games which are totally compatible with it !!
Playing with mouse & keyboard is only good for fps/hack n' slash and adventures/rpg games...

[agros]

My friend, we have the best car control with keyboard. I have tried with steering in the past but control was not good.
Just tell me, is it possible for the 2nd player to use keys? If not then I ll unistal it.

[DarkstaR]

I see that your pc behaviour/attitude is meant to be "ancient"  split mode regards 2 players playing each with gamepads or 1 with a gamepad and the 2nd with the keyboard... let's enjoy it 

[agros]

What do you mean "ancient attitude"?
I didnt get your last post, but as I told u I prefer to play driving games with keys only.

[DarkstaR]

I wanted to say that you have an old school way of playing.... so, have you tested it ?
