Umm, it's not all about speed, Synchromesh... And, 11-11.5 seconds is more than enough speed for the average driver. I'll admit, an engine like mine, where you MUST wind it out to 4500 in each gear if traffic is busy, to not get run over, is slow. 11-11.5 seconds is not slow. The Prius is in the sa...

Instead of getting separate TV card, vid card and remote maybe get the All in Wonder X800 GT from OCUK for £160?

Other than that the only problem is the mouse which sucks a bit. If you can stretch to one of the Logitech MS models i guarantee you will love it all the more.

I think Sluggo hit the nail on the head in this case.
