I'm going to wait to try out the demo before I buy it. Plus I need a complete upgrade as far as motherboard, processor, and ram before I can really play it. Oh well, I guess Madden 2005 will have to hold my attention until I can put down the $900 dollars for the upgrade.
jesusfish - so sorry that you are in 8th grade. Let me know when the ol' veggies drop.
vicsrealms - $900?? What kind of super-computer are you wanting to make?

So, cursing is permitted, but talking about your own genitalia is not? If you are uncomfortable with this conversation, I have two suggestions for you:
1. Find a mirror, sit down on the ground naked, and use the mirror to get a really good look at yourself. (Note: a magnifying glass may be necessary.) You see those 3 wiry black things? Those are your first pupic hairs. Many more will come, but those are the pioneers that bravely blazed the trail to your ball sack.
2. Get as far as you can from the Asylum. Didn't you read the forum description before you started posting here?
Well, right now I am running the following:
Athlon 1.53 Ghz 1800+ Processor
384 MB PC-133 SDRAM
K7T Limited Edition Motherboard
Creative Labs Audigy Game Limitied Edition
Gigabyte GeForce FX 5900XT 128MB
WD 27.2 GB Hard Drive 5400 RPM
Maxtor 40GB Hard Drive 5400 RPM
Supermicro 750A Full Tower Case
For my next upgrade I am looking at
Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2 Ghz Processor Socket 754 $218
Gigabyte "GA-K8NSNXP" nForce3 250 Chipset $180
ZALMAN CNSP7000A-Cu Pure Copper Heatsink $46
OCZ 512MB DDR PC-3200 RAM x2 $220
Seagate 200GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive $127
This doesn't include the fans or the Lian Li PC-6077 case I am looking at This should also tide me over until the socket 939's look a lot better.

I'm intrigued by Doom3, but I know I won't be able to run it.
AMD Duron 800
768mb SDRAM
Radeon 9600 256mb
Haven't upgraded anything in over two years. I need to replace the mobo/cpu and RAM, though that should be easy and cheap enough (considering I do it all myself also) but won't be done any time soon. I am po' folk.
My office mates want me to get Unreal 2004 and LAN with them, though I doubt I'd be able to run that either.

Well I am very sorry I should have put /sarcasitc to let you know I was kidding its not the fact that I am ashamed of myself its the fact that we were talking about computers and not genitalia

Eh, what's the difference? They're both fun to play with.....
Guys, just remember that all memory is NOT created equal. I think Tom's Hardware has a whole section on the differences. MoBo's and memory match up in many different ways....also processors and memory work in weird ways.
I hear that Corsair is a really nice brand.
The smartest thing Deathfromtheskies ever said on this board was that Pricewatch comment. Just sayin'

I thought I was getting on average, 15 FPS. I'm getting 4.
My machine beats the **** out of Hippo's, much less the minimum requirements. I play on 1280x1024, so I've assumed that was why, even at low, I was getting low fps.
But there is absolutely no reason why I should be getting 4 FPS on a 2800+, 1GB of DDR ram(PC3200), GeForce 5600 with 256mb of ram. It makes no sense.
My good machines mobo is fried, and I'm too lazy to go buy a new one and put everything back together.... But this machine should still run it fine. AA and all of that is off, and the settings are set to performance over quality.... I don't get it. Gaaaah.
Well, I'm at the alpha labs now, cheated a bit and gave myself a chainsaw. (What? I had to have one!)
Edit: Been playing nonstop... Now I'm at the Guardian, and no clue how to kill him :(

When you mention FPS what are you talking about there.
Frames per second? cause I know that FPS stands for First Person Shooter as well. But you are using it in a different context. Please explain. ^_^
Thanks
OCZ and Corsair are my favorite brands. Right now the high end stuff isn't that important for this new computer I am looking at, but sometime in March when I am looking to build my game machine it will be. Especially, since March will give the socket 939 some time to grow. Then I will be looking at some of the high end, enthusiast class RAM. Like the OCZ PC-3700 or the nice Corsair XMS 3200XL and XL-Pro.

reason your getting that is because that video card sucks. no offense. its not ment to run dx9 games that well. you need to dl rivatuner and have it lower your settings and overclock your card a tad. should give you a couple more frames per second. and since were bragging i might as well throw out my system specs.
p4 3200mhz with HT
1gig xms corsair 3200 ddr
256 geforce fx5950 ultra
and it runs at about 30-50 fps
so as you can see you need a a really nice( $6k+ ) machine to run this smoothly at high detail.
a geforce 5600 is two steps up from my video card but i can run it fine. the video card isnt his problem.
Well, since we're measuring..
3.2G P4
2G PC-2700 RAM
Gforce FX5600
DVD R/RW
For free from the wife's work.
Not that I run anything that would take advantage of any of that one it.
Well, FarCry, I guess.

Ah, Far Cry is awesome!! I love that game.
I just ordered Doom 3 from ebgames.com about an hour ago. No one in town had a copy for sale. Good news, they were offering free 2-day shipping. I hope I don't get a "item on backorder" email....

I have not slept. I have not taken a break.... Until I beat the game.
I'm now going to play again, to unlock Nightmare.
