The database is launched!
 Quite
some nice goodies in this update, firstly and most importantly
I'd like to announce the launch of the carputer
database. What the system allows you to do is add
your own carputer to it, then it'll appear in the system
so other people can find your website easily. Hope you
find it useful.
Other than that I'd like to talk about what's next for
my carputer project.
The next major upgrade will be the motherboard, as I'll
be using one based off of the new C3 processor. Which
is a redesigned version of the current core, which alot
more FPU power, great for games!
 I
also plan to buy a USB 2.0 hub which I'll mount on my
dash board. This will allows easy plug & play of
anything I want.
Also I'll be using it to connect a DVD drive to my system,
so I can have it in the drivers cabin with me, rather
than in the boot with the rest of the system. You can
buy ATA to USB converters, which will make it an easy
job to do.
I'm waiting until I get my new motherboard before doing
this, with USB 2.0 ports, as USB 1.0 is very slow...
about 11Mbps I think, compared to USB 2.0 which is over
20 times faster I believe.
