DOOM III
|  "Minimum hardware"
, posted Fri 30 Mar 12:24  
GeForce 3 presentation looked real nice. DOOM III was eaver better ;) But I asked from nVidia that what system must I have. What must I upgrade and what can I keep if I have:
Celeron 667
128 MB DIMM PC-133 RAM
10.2 GB Seagate
Microstar motherboard with Intel 810e chipset
No avable AGP slots
nVidia said that buy Pentium 4 1 GHz and motherboard with Intel 815 chipset or Athlon 800 with KT133A. But that all costs too much for me! Can't I see eaven some sort of picture? You guys talking here about Voodoo 5 and so on, but can't my i810e run it? I know I can't some sort of quality. And I suspect that my chipset is little damaged too ;( Can't use Direct3D correctly ;( Quake III Arena have no problems rendering 800x600 (other options are turned to maximum) OpenGL.

About that, I am thinking of getting a new Computer in about the 1.2Ghz range. Which is better, P4 or Amd ThunderBird?
I am beginning to think Amd is, but I am not sure.

A. Get a better processor Celeron sucks balls. Athlons are the better of the crop. A 800 would do nice and you can find them under $150.
B. More Ram, bout 256 is fine, RAM is cheap so no worries.. Find some good ram for a great price at http://www.tigerdirect.com
C. Your HHD is ok..
D. Er.. you will need a new MoBo if you go with an Athlon..
E. Your screwed if you don't have any AGP slots..
P.S. Voodoo 4 and 5's suck.. The 1,2,and 3 are the better of the cards. But they are outdated. I seriously doubt D3 will run off of Glide well, or not at all. Get a nVidia Genforce 2, its pretty cheap and what I've read the minium requirement for D3.. Then when the Genforce 3 becomes cheaper get it..
I don't like Intel, they are to expensive and not as fast as most AMD cubes. The P4 is faster but way to expensive and it has problems..
You can hit my duck bitch becuase I will plug your ass with him! His has plugged over 5000 newbie asses including several repeat customers since he was brought in from the projects. The pond complex.
Look fer the duck with the white fur coat and the pimp kane..

I don't want to sound weird but everyone should already know that Carmack uses, always used and probably always will use Opengl as his API (no direct3d or glide).
"We've been doing hacks and tricks for years but now we'll be able to do things we've been wanting to do for a long time" Carmack said. "For instance every light has its own highlight and every surface casts a shadow like in the real world. "Everything can behave the same now and we can apply effects for every pixel."
