Specs For id's Next Game After Doom 3 Calculated

jvm writes "Since my current PC is beefy enough to play Doom 3, I began planning for id Software's next game, the one that will come out _after_ Doom 3, so I've worked out the release date and minimum system requirements. It looks like a 3GHz processor and 1.5Gb of RAM just won't cut it in 2007, although the hard disk requirement doesn't hurt too much. Where's this information coming from? From id Software's past game requirements, a couple of exponential and linear models, and some pretty graphs. Start saving for that upgrade now! (Slashdot recently covered the Doom 3 system requirements.)"

wtf

[sweede]

karma goes down here, but

why the f is this posted as news?? is this important?

I mean, can i post a news article about how KDE 4.5 will need GTK libs ??

How about this..
When the next kernel version 2.7 goes into development, it will require GCC 3.9, a p5 4.6ghz machine with at least 2gigs of ram and 4 gigs of free space for source and compile.

ya that'll make it to front page..

Has the tech industry slowed down sooo much that /. has resorted to posting non-sense not-even-news articles to continue floating and keep advertisors and subscribers happy?
