Re: Dont bother getting the Doom III alpha
said by NewLife  :
Get one at »www.tigertv.com.
How 'bout building your own? Cheaper, better quality, and better performance. Get a P4 3.06, 2 gigs PC1066 RDRAM, and 4 200 GB drives in a RAID 0 array. Stick that with an NV30 and a Prometia vapor-phase cooler, and OC that thing to around 3.8GHz. Now that's a computer.
It's not the video card, it's the memory that matters more with the alpha. My friend with 384MB RAM and a Ti4600 got worse framerates then my other friend with 768MB RAM and a GeForce 2 MX200.

Sacramento, CA | Makes sense. If its an alpha, theres still an ass-load of debugging code in there that will not be in the final release. Gotta have that extra room for it. |

Damn straight dude. Start with a good Antec case, a decent MB, The best high speed DDR Ram ( I recommend Cruical ) that you can afford, A good AMD processor, a killer video card ( ti 4600 is awesome ) and a decent eide 7200 hd. You can add all the other stuff later.
Forget DOOM, Unreal 3 ROCKS!

People...the hardware is nice... but please remember one thing.. if you software suxs a$$ then the hardware suxs also..
So to make things all sorts of easy.. Drop the Microhard Shutters and get a real os.. Then you Hardware will truly kick butt!!!
