If your system can handle the "Farcry" demo that you can download, I guess it could probably handle Doom3 (This is only a guess) Tom Chaudoir wrote: > Oooh!

The final game has to be a lot more optimized than the leaked demo. EvilBill wrote: > What! Why is sticks <sticks@nospam.com> here??

Whoaa. Hold the phone. Demo? I've seen the trailers, the screen shots, but never a demo. Proving once again that I just fell off the turnip truck. Where can a feller get a hold of this here demo?

The demo I mentioned was of "Farcry", which is not an ID software game but is hardware demanding. That demo you can download from many game sites. I don't know where you can get the Doom3 test beta that was leaked last year. Tom Chaudoir wrote: > Whoaa. Hold the phone. Demo? I've seen the trailers, the screen > shots, but never a demo.

It was, to be technical, an alpha test and never meant for public consumption. If you do a search on google youll find articles about it. Sounds like something I can live without. Anyway Im shocked because they had said it would be out in December so thats nice they are more or less done with it. I think Ill get it after they have patched it about a billion times. ;-P If my system runs it that is. I think I can upgrade the cpu and vid card.

My system is only an 1800+. I'm sure yours will run the game, but probably only if you set resolution and everything really low. I don't know what generation a 9200 is, but I'd recommend at least doubling your RAM.

Everyone else releases the demo first, so they can find the bugs and get a patch out on the day the game is released. Also, if the demo doesn't play, people won't have to spend they're money on the game until they can afford to upgrade.

It should be released soon, so they can get the patch out as soon as the game is released. (Do you really think otherwise?)

Now that the game has gone gold, they will now devote time to getting the demo ready. -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/20030215212142/http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq

As long as I can get 20-30 FPS out of it. > I don't know what generation a 9200 is, Well, this machine's about 16-17 months old; at the time it was kind of the low end of the high-end.

Sometimes the box will recognize the extra 256, sometimes it won't, so I either have faulty RAM or a faulty motherboard... either way, finances are *really* bad right now so I can't replace either. -- "FREEZE MUTHA-STICKER, THIS IS A FUCK-UP!!"
