I havn't played RoE but I have seen videos on YouTube and what not. I have however, beaten Doom3. I just wanted to know in your guys' opinion which is better.

Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading my computer over buying a whole new one but I'm not 100% sure if I can do this or if it is better to do than buying a new computer. My current computer is a Windows XP released year 2000 with a 1.20 GHz processor, 20 GB hard drive, and is single core. I want to upgrade it so that it's good for gaming (I'm more into games released the latest 2008, like Doom 3, classic Doom, or Team Fortress 2). What I want to do is buy an external Terabite (1,000 GB) drive, a new high end graphics card, and Windows 7. My friend told me that it's possible to upgrade a computer to multi-core but I don't know about that. I can't really find any research that tells me exactly if this will work with what I want to use and what to build it off of. I am familiar with computers but I'm not an Engineer. Any help to let me know if this is even possible or if this is a good idea over simply buying a new computer would be appreciated.

Sweet, thanks guys! :)

I remember reading some where that Doom 1 was used as standard training simulation for for the U.S. Marines. I don't get how Doom could pass as a simulation, it's one of the most un-realistic games in existence. Does any one else know any thing about this?

I'm not saying only Christans know, I'm saying IF THERE IS NO GOD

Technician, You didn't get my point AT ALL. I put way too much effort in bothering to get my point across. It's not that difficult of a question to understand, How do you REALLY know what is right and what is wrong? No body obviously gets what I'm talking about, you and every else can continue your lives with the belief that you really showed me, but I really can't get get my point across clearly. I don't want to bother talking about this, this conversation is going no where. If that means that your a genius and I'm just a dumb crazy Christian, fine.

Believe it or not I do read the Bible, and I don't recall the Bible saying any thing about killing off Jews. But I'm done now. I don't want to end up having some one burn my house down.

Ok then, we have our own opinions. I was just trying to share mine. Obviously my opinion is not liked so there's no point in repeating my self.

Arrgh! No one is even reading what I'm saying! Ok, so I'll repeat my last example but try to word it better. There are these group of scientists who will test you and see how high your living standards are. Living standards are how useful you are in society, ex. how smart you are, how strong you are, if you have any mental/physical disabilities or not. They were pushing into the courts that if one's living standards aren't high enough, they should be allowed to kill them. Now say that it actually went through the courts and it became legal to kill some one who doesn't have high enough living standards. Would you think that is wrong? I would. But now that it became a law, it would become LEGALLY right to kill a disabled person. People would start to think "Well there's a reason it became a law, so it must be alright" the what will happen? Millions of people will be killed because of this law. Most people on this forum might think it's wrong to kill a disabled person. But what? Because a small group of people made it a law it's now morally right? I'm not saying this is going to happen but I'm just trying to create an example. Does any one get what I'm saying now?

@Technician : You didn't get my point either. I'm not talking about only non-Christians. Like I said before, there exist Christian extremists who kill people. Adolf Hitler wasn't Christian. He tricked people into believing he was but he's not. He use the Christian belief for propaganda to make himself look more likable, he wasn't influenced by God at all, only power. Same goes for George W. Bush. The majority of Christians (ones who actually read the Bible) go by the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were revealed to Moses by God. One of the Commandments is "Thou shall not murder". It's understandable why it's bad to murder people. But people who don't believe in God obviously don't believe that God gave Moses the Ten Commandments so no one ever told any one about moralities to begin with! So that being said, IF there was no God, how would we REALLY know what is right and wrong? Some people will give the argument it's right to murder some one if their standard of living isn't high enough. Who's to say some one wouldn't push to make a law where it would be legal to kill some one disabled on the spot? What if that went all the way through? What would happen years later? People would believe it's right to kill some one if their disabled. Am I making any more sense? Because I don't think any one is actually getting my point.

What planet did you guys get your computers? The Future Shop in my town has computers that aren't all that great for over $900 and almost $300 for a normal graphics card! I'm probably looking in the wrong store for computers :S

Well I wouldn't mind getting something like that if I had the money :p **EDIT** Wait, he doesn't have a slushy machine with it?

For $400? I don't know about THAT cheap.

You failed to see my point. You said, "You decide whats Right and whats Wrong" and most people will say "It's wrong to kill someone" And I agree to that. BUT, there are people who believe it's right to kill some one. Laws are nothing but words written on paper created by humans who believe it WRONG or RIGHT to do this or that. And I agree, we should obey these laws. But there are people like Hitler who believed it was right to kill millions of Jews. HE wrote the laws for Germany in his time. Do you get what I'm saying?

Ok, so what if I decide it's alright to come to your house and kill you? You might decide it's not right for me to kill you, but according to what you said, it's alright for me to kill you because I decide it is.

I didn't find Doom 3 to be all that bad. Honestly, I like the classics and D3 the same. There different styles and that adds a bit of variety to the series. The way I see it, from every thing I have read about hate campaigns against Doom 3, the ONLY reason why every one hates it so much, is because you don't run as fast. I personally don't mind the fact that you move slower, it adds suspense.

The only thing that has really made me cry at entertainment is the fact that 99% of movies and pretty much any thing in the entertainment business is so unbearably awful.

Hm, sounds cheaper and easier to just buy a new computer lol.

I'm Christian. It kind of bothers me that some people claim I "Waste" my life. I don't object to people believing in any thing but the thing that troubles me if there was no God, how do you tell Right from Wrong? I know the majority believe it's wrong to murder and it's wrong to rape, but there are people who believe it's the right thing to do. Who gets to ultimately decide what is Right and what is Wrong if there is no God? Should Adolf Hitler decide? Should George W. Bush decide? I know every one hates religion and that the majority of people believe that Christians or insane bastards. And I know I probably don't look good saying this because of the extremists that I have nothing to do with and the majority of Christians have nothing to do with, but the way I see it, a lot of the world's terror has been caused by this problem : How do you tell Right from Wrong? There was a school shooting, not as famous as the Columbine Shooting. What happened there was this kid named Kip Kingle (I think that was his name) went into his with an assault rifle and killed a bunch of kids. When he was arrested he was quoted of saying "If there was a God he wouldn't let me feel the way I do, there is no God only hate." . Well maybe he felt like that because he wouldn't believe in a God and realize, he loves me and every one in existence. The thing that bothers me is that these Christian extremists go around killing people and what not and everyone thinks "Well 2% of Christians have killed people, that must mean all Christians in the world are murderers and heartless". Any way, I'm rambling. If people think I'm "Wasting" my life, I'd say, fine, but the after life to spend eternity with God and his love and glory is well worth "Wasting" my life.

Would any of this work with a computer as old as mine though?

Huh, interesting. When I heard that it was used as a simulation I pictured in my mind Marines in training by shooting down Hell. Lol, video games for training in the Army. And they say video games are a waste of time.

True, but they have a new writer for the series ever since the movie. He's just unbearable. The new episodes ruined the entire series for me, period.

I wish they would cancel that show already. There's no recovering from that movie.

I'd watch it if my internet wasn't chained down by dial-up. But it sounds funny. I remember watching videos on YouTube of all these guys using Hank Hill sound boards from King of The Hill prank calling all of these people. LOL, one of the funniest quotes I have ever heard on YouTube : [Phone conversation at Wal-Mart] Cashier : Hi, thank you for calling Wal-Mart this is Carlos speaking how may I help you? Hank Hill : Carlos? Is that you? Cashier : Yea it's me. Hank Hill : Oh, so how was your weekend? Cashier : My weekend? My weekend was great! Hank Hill : You do some shoping? Cashier : Yea I did. Hank Hill : So... are you Chinese or Japanese? Cashier : I'm Rhetorician. LOL I couldn't get enough of that! **

Team Fortress 2 has a new trailer for the Medic finally! And there coming out with one for the Pyro soon! Waiting one and a half hours for this video to load on dial-up was well worth to see this! One of the funniest and coolest things I have ever seen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36lSzUMBJnc
