Let's see if I can run this on mi PIII 500, tnt2 and 256MB ram
I guess not, but I'm trying anyway

I finally got it... Took almost 12 hours of downloading (first time
didn't work. Got it again from Atari). I can't wait until the full
version comes out...
Anybody who plans on getting it: Go through ebgames.com. They're
selling it for $39.99, $10 cheaper than Gamestop.
The Radeon 9700 is getting great reviews from everybody; evenget the Ti4600. The ATI Drivers are garbage (IMO). My friend has that card and it constantly locks up in Warcraft III.
Carmack. The Radeon 9700 was the official card of this years
QuakeCon.
Look at all the released Doom 3 pictures. All of those were taken
from a Pentium 4 2.2Ghz, Radeon 9700 PRO machine
I'll probably get one soon...

Why would they let you download the unreal demo, about a 100MB and the server speed is limited to 50kB/sec I can go much faster
gforce 2's rival?? bleh in terms of when they came out yes, in terms of graphics hell no. I have three friends who have all the newest gfroces all tweaked out and none of them have been able to beat mines graphics, as far as a good nvidia i'll believe it when i see it.
I posted the Linux version on my LUG's server. It's sitting right next to my univerisities backbone, so it's likely to get to ya REAL fast .
Linux version here
Reading this makes me realise how much I need to upgrade. My PIII 800, 128MB RAM and TNT2 just isn't cutting it anymore
I need a better graphics crad, more RAM, a bigger hard drive, faster CPU - dammit, I may as well buy a whole new machine!
Couldn't think of anything interesting, cool or funny - sorry.
endo that stopped cutting it a while ago :P
My grandparents bought me a 500mhz p3 from dell, after a few years(like 2) of having it i put it in the basement as a server. Then a few weeks ago built my new one.

I'm going to go with the Radeon 9700! w00t w00t!
Going to order a whole new system later.... one of the most fun things to do on the net!
*drool*
oh oh! and I'll get one of those trippy silver cases with the window, neon lights, and a 500watt PSU
Argh! I still don't understand that! Is it suppose to be like "Woohoo!"...?Originally posted by BMJ
w00t w00t!
If so, what is the purpose of the "t"...? What the freak is a woot?
Staying away from General.
its, in the great wisdom of Homer Simpson:
WOOHOO and
DOH
Woot is the lamer version of homer's wisdom :P
I love Homer's witty remarks and catch-phrases. I just picked up w00ting a long while ago when I actually thought CS was cool (long, long while ago)
Oh, and I also still have a Voodoo5, I'm looking at it right now; man, this thing has had some major use. Voodoo5s has one oddity which make them so awesome (besides the native Glide API and incredible image quality), and that is that they don't bottleneck at 1ghz (like the GeForce2 when it was new), a Voodoo5 just hauls ass when you're on +1ghz. My buddy with a GeForce3 was stunned when I told him I was using a V5 at a lan party once, he was impressed with the smoothness and wonderful image, he thought they were junk! (as it's preached by so many)
In conclusion; don't bash the Voodoo5, yes I admit that now with the Radeon 9700 they are showing age (DirectX wise, they're sub-par) but hell, I'd still use it!
homer kicks ass rofl.
"Hello my name is mr. burns, i beleive u have a package for me"
Ok mr burns whats your first name
"....i don't know."
voodoo 5's can beat em all with a lil tweaking. it'll take more then gforce to beat this
