Not arguing with you in the least. Even a system with 2GB of ram and a 3.2Ghz Processor is a small stretch from the every day consumer.
My point was that the article sounded like they were describing what the gameplay would be on a variety of cards. In the end they only used high-end systems to show the meager results. If systems that high got such low results then what does that say for "john doe's" computer using a 2.0ghz etc etc?
I did RTFA but the systems are still in the Enthusiast section of the market which is a small percentage. I would expect a much broader selection of systems/cards.
If I recall correctly, their system was a P4 3.6 with 4GB of ram. I am curious to question the.01% of the population who has this type of system. I want to ask them which kidney they sold or how many sisters they put on the streets to purchase a system like that. C'mon! I thought this was supposed to be a benchmark to let everyone know that their system was compatible with Doom3. They are using the highest-end hardware possible and watching the game squeak by at 70- fps. so for those of us who have anything less than a system that costs ten grand we are up shit creek without a paddle??/article is somewhat misleading TSTL!
I agree. The article makes it seem like they tested a range of cards when they really only tested cards priced at 400 plus. For those of us who aren't doctors/lawyers/senators we need some benchmarks for our cards. I have a All-In-Wonder 9600Pro and I wanna know if it will work. I don't see myself spending 500 bucks to play this game. well.....unless I have to...um....hmmm.....maybe.
If you really want to terraform ANY planet, all you have to do is plant some kudzoo!
BTW if you don't know what kudzoo is, just come to georgia and watch it grow in front of your eyes...I think it grows around an inch or two a week...or a day, i forget!
And I am sure that intel will use some type of numbering scheme like AMD did, but by some magical power, everyone will understand it because it is, behold, "Intel". Soon the buzz will be around intel and "how do they make such a slow chip do so much". No one understood AMD's XP chips and their numbering scheme because they are AMD. Now that the almighty Intel is doing the same thing, it is going to be big news!
(btw, I am tired of people asking me about the XP 1.8 ghz chip and I have to spend 20 min explaining that it is not 1.8 ghz and then they ask the difference between amd and intel)
Professor Frink...this guy should get more apperances in the future! The best episode is where he is analyzing the secret ingredient to a flaming moe....
Frink: Brace yourselves gentlemen. According to the gas
chromatograph, the secret ingredient is... Love!?
Who's been screwing with the machine!?
I love engrish...I work at a computer shop and just about all the manuals for motherboards are in engrish.....even the installation cd's give error messages in engrish...."please insert by yourself the correct windows OS"...That is an actual message from an Amptron motherboard driver installation!
I agree.....I have never seen any software that needs updating so often.....it seems that everytime I turn on my PC it says there is a new version! No thanks

correction: Building pages IN the fly. hehe
then why buy a 40GB hard drive for 70 bucks when you can get 20 2GB drives for 30?

I like that one....makes work more enjoyable when you can read crap like that!
