My guess is that Id will try and make the Christmas rush to get some good 
fast return right out of the gate.  It'd be my humble opinion they'd be 
nuts if they didn't but who knows.. maybe they've hit a snag or two that 
will prevent putting a tight product out on time.  I wouldn't mind 
waiting a few more months if it meant not having a piece of junk. :-)

I'm curious too what some good hardware would be to take full advantage 
of Quake 2.. I've been thinking about buying a Diamond Monster 3D card.  
I already have a Dell PPro/180 with 64 megs of RAM and a S3 Virge PCI 
card w/ i think 2 megs of VRAM.  Thoughts, anyone?  I'd like to keep the 
upgrade costs below $500
