I have heard that Q4 is basically the same as Doom 3. Lots of dark narrow
environments with monsters that jump out at you. Other than the hell level,
I didn't care for D3 at all. I'll still get Q4, but in a couple of months
when it's $29.95.
I'd have to check the AT boards to recall the issues, onboard firewall I
think was one. So I guess just disable and use software. I think the best
A8N to get is the premium for the quieter cooling, correct?

Nothing wrong with the Asus A8N-SLi that I am aware of.....I have an 3800
X2
running at 2.6GHz on it, rock stable. In fact its the most recomended mobo
(along with the DFI LanParty, despite its pickyness with RAM) on the
www.hexus.net forums, so many have them and none are reporting an
issue.....odd.
What are the specific NF4 problems they are talking about?
On the games front; I received FEAR a few days ago but haven't had the
chance to install it yet :( Although I played the SP demo and really
enjoyed
that.
Q4 I have on order but have the feeling that I am not going to like it
AGAIN. I think if its as weak as the last 2, then it will be the last ID
game I buy until they can prove that they can do something else other then
design game engines for other companies to buy.

heh... wotta waste!!
Chris, you OC the 3800 X2, right? What board are you using? I'm now
backing off of the Asus A8N-SLI due to folks on Anand's forum complaining
about it. Can't decide yet. Folks say that NF4 boards are rife with
problems anyway..
You went GTX? wow, what monitor/resolution are you using?
Nobody has mentioned FEAR yet. I got it last Sunday, and it's forcing me
to
upgrade my system Just got 2x 1GB RAM sticks, that'll temporarily help my
choppy poerformance until i get the other components in. FEAR has the
most
amazing AI I have ever seen, it really is a pulse-racer! Thsese guys
really
seem to think on their own.
Yep, Q4 & SS2 are on the way, Earth 2160 is coming next month as well.
Was
lean times for a while, now a glut of great games. wooohooo!
