Definitely. ph34r.
I can't wait for Doom3. I've got big expectations for this game, I've been a Doom fiend since the original three episodes of Doom came out. I really hope they have some "retro" level that has some nostalgic Doom crap...my favorite video game song is still E1M1...or Untracked from SSX, but that doesn't help Doom out, does it?

I'm getting a new system in a few weeks, which will more then support the awsomeness of Doom III! I'm freakin out here!
------------------------------------- Gateway 700S (highly customized) starting price: $1,499 after custimization: $1,550 (only cause I opted for now cdrom/dvd player and no monitor) I put a * next to anything that I custimized to be HIGHER/FASTER/BIGGER then came with the preset up model. - Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 2.26GHz with 512K L2 Advanced Transfer Cache and 533MHz Front Side Bus - 512MB RDRAM® PC800 * - 80GB UATA100 7200RPM Hard Drive - 3.5" 1.44MB diskette drive - Microsoft® Windows® XP Pro * - Microsoft® Works Suite 2002 - Including Microsoft® Word and Encarta - Norton AntiVirus 90 day Introductory Offer - 128MB NVIDIA™ GeForce4 Ti-4600G with TV Out and DVI Graphics * - SoundBlaster Audigy Audio w/ IEEE 1394 (FireWire) - 5 PCI and 1 AGP expansion slots - (6) USB (2 in front and 2 in back are version 2.0, 2 more in back are version 1.1) - Parallel, Serial and (2) PS/2 - 56K PCI Voice Modem - 3COM® 10/100 Ethernet * ------------------------------------- Notes: 1)I chose not to have a cdrom or dvd-r included so I can buy a dvd-r/rw recorder. The one gateway provides are dvd-ram/r, which suck. 2)I will be replacing Soundblaster Audigy down the line. 3)The monitor I currently have will do fine (19 inch flatscreen/not flat panel) so I chose to have no monitor included. 4)I opted for the GeForce4 Ti-4600G so that I'll be overprepared for DoomIII, Warcraft 3 and any other future game. 5)lastly, I will be purchasing three 36mb 15,000rpm hardrives. 2 for my music production work. And 1 for my video production work I'm beging to get into. I don't do as much video work, so I'll only need one for now. If I ever need more I can always go the external drive method using usb 2. I'll use the 80gb 7,200rpm hardrive that comes with the system for programs and games. Last edited by SNYder; 28th June 2002 at 02:00. |

Doom III is gonna be wicked cool. I can't wait for Unreal Tourny 2003 and Unreal 2003 too(if thats the name for Unreal 2). All 3 should kick major ass.
Also SNYder, see if you can't opt for the newer PC1066 RDRAM, Intel doesn't offically support it, but it's much faster apparently. Also, if you are going to get into movie editing and DVD authoring you might want to consider a dual processer system, DV editing eats up on CPU and HD space bad

and as for PC1066 RDRAM, I'll look into it. But figuring I am used to working with 128mb sdram, (a step up being ddr sdram, another huge step up being rdram), I think even the slower rdram will be wicked fast to me but I'll look into it and see what the cost differences are currently and how much faster it is. Thanks ![]() funny, I had noticed pc1066 rdram in a few alienware systems but thought nothing of it oh well

well i researched rdram for the last few hours and now have a good knoledge of them. unfortunatly since I'm low on a budget and have settled on Gateway (unless I find cheaper costing premade pc's) and Gateway only ships the 2.26 and above P4's with 850e chips I can't upgrade to pc1066 down the road if I buy now since the 850e doesn't support anything over 3.2gb ram transfer rates, and the pc1066 needs 3.8gb.
oh well. I guess I'll just have to live with ultra fast pc800 rdram instead of ultra ulta fast pc1066 rdram. ![]() also... I looked into Geforce4 and the various company's versions of he card. The main one is obviously Nvidia card. But there is another one that is gaining popularity by e-VGA, a new company (founded 1999). It's version the e-VGA e-GeForce4 is just as good as the Nvidia card in all aspects, but the one aspect which sets them apart, which is actually the e-VGA's selling point, is this new ACS² Cooling Systems built onto the card. Well, I have read a review which messured it's effectivness compared to the standard cooling mechanism on the Nvidia card. And althought this new cooling technology looks and sounds impressive, it fals well short of it's claims. Infact, the e-VGA cards became much hotter then the Nvidia cards. Plus it cost around 50 dollars more. I'll stick with NVidia. here's the article I read... http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/...gati4600.shtml |

I seriously hope this comes to the xbox because I have:
450 megahertz PIII with a crappy ATI 8mb card that came with my computer in 1999. Theirs no way my computer can handle anything cool and I can't afford an expensive graphics card right now ...

When I thought it couldn't look any better, id revealed that the E3 demo (from which the video was taken) was running at MEDIUM detail due to a bit of instability at the time when running it full detail. Insane. Surprisingly, it was running on ATI's next-gen video card which supports 128-bit color. I think Carmack has stated that the GF4 Ti4600 is still the best card to run it on, though, due to ATI's crappy drivers. heh? |

Does this mean I can simply buy pc10666 rdram and put it into my new gateway, which uses the same motherboard, and be able to take full advantage of pc1066 rdram?Quote:

the original doom and doom 2 were all about much monsters and much killing. this one looks like it's more scary than anything else. i'm having mental flashes of half-life and the first level of unreal... not that either were bad, in fact both were VERY good, it's just that that's not what i want for doom. doom should be like serious sam without the humor.
bah! |

Let me guess- you get to run around killing people/mutants - except this time the blood is in higher resolution? Am I right?
*Snore* Wake me up when the real games come out. Xerxes patiently awaits the Civ III / Heros of Might and Magic IV expansion sets and Masters of Orion III. |

The nice thing bout Doom III is that it will have an extensive single player experience too which has been missing in the recent id games.

RTCW had a decent story line, a bit unbeleivable at times, but still it was decent and it was more than than the typical deathmatch era of Quake3 and Unreal Tourny.
