Speaking about capacity, it's pretty certain that Doom 3 will come on DVD except for CD. This is another blow in the face of people with 'older' PC's : you'll have just spent 400$ or something on your GeForce3 and they discover your 50x CD-ROM drive won't be able to read the DVD... ouch.

Unlike Zaldron I feel that games will start coming on DVD... eventually. Let's not forget that Doom came on a buncha diskettes too. Give it a few more years and DVDs will be everywhere. Shit, some places are already handing them out for free like CD-Roms... =)

Thanks to 3D games, the DVD unlimited storage supply isnīt that important. Remember interactive video games, they were the flagship of CDīs (Journeyman Project springs to my mind). Now they donīt exist. Even Black Isle, the crazy CD printer factory have passed to 3D, so I guess TORN wonīt take so many CDs.

If theyīre gonna fill up the DVD, fine by me. Now, if theyīre stucking 400 MB games into DVDs, then they can go to Hell...

I think DVD-ROMS are pretty much dead in the PC gaming scene. Back when they were released, I had the feeling they wonīt be so succesfull as CDīs, guess I was right...

Whatīs the difference anyway? If Baldurīs Gate II comes in 7 CDs, why would id choose a DVD?
Besides, this is a FPS. Baldur was so huge because they used prerendered backgrounds everywhere. It was an array of 800x600 24 bit wallpapers (merged with some masks) that created the world.

Even if id wantīs to add 20 minutes of animations like in Diablo2, itīs just another CD...

Sounds like a low disk space problem to me. Many programs require a certain amount of diskspace to use as virtual memory (no matter how much real memory you have). You should make sure you have at least 400-500 MB free space.

And it would help perfomance fixing the size of the swap. Make it big as Sthprz says, but keep it static under System Properties. The dynamic "on demand" swap chugs computer a lot.

I did that and for some odd reason MilkShape 3D stopped working... it works now that I let windoze manage the swapfile.

Some programs just don't like static swap files. Personally, I think this is a bug. You should email the author of the program and tell him about it. It's probably easy to fix.
