You might throw another GB of RAM in to keep any swapping from happening. 
The 7900 is a really great card for the money and you might look at 
overclocking it a bit to get a little extra. They have a nice bit of 
overhead room for that without risk of damage.

My thoughts now that I have the full game is that I'm a little let down. All 
the maps look too much alike, all gritty and grainy. I like the new physics, 
much more realistic, but the overall effect is just OK for me. I'll probably 
play offline and stick with 2K4 for a while longer. I'm interested how the 
mappers will go with this. I'd like to see brighter, more open maps like 
ONS-Torlon. The VCTF is way too constrained to be fun. You can hardly turn a 
goliath in the maps. Geez, it's not like Epic is paying rental fee for 
leased combat lands  :)

Overall, worth the money but ultimately forgettable for now.

Oh, and fix that goddamn game interface. If a group is going to mod, they 
should start with the 2K4 template and apply the UT3 browser to it. I can't 
find anything and there are too many screens to click through to get to a 
simple offline game.
