I hate cynics :-) I always wondered why he didn't just jettison one of the

I really think that Origin's programmers could optimize this a bit more 
though, maybe they really are pushing the limits but I have a feeling that 
programmers for big companies are being rushed. A game has to be released as 
quickly as possible (However many delays there are!) and perhaps now there is 
less time for optimization?  
	I can't wait to see how Quake runs on your average 486 I have a feeling that 
this will not be anywhere near full speed. System shock cannot be compared to 
Doom as you say. I much prefer System Shock's style it has much more depth to 
it and of course I am a sucker for any sort of Cyberpunk theme.
