RE: [H] OT - Great week for gaming
I personally didn't like Doom3 at all. Not from the first moment... Q4I loaded up last night and had a blast (only 5 minutes unfortunatly)...first impressions were WOW. MUCH better then I expectedthe gfx, sound and the setting all clicked with me immediatly. I think I will really enjoy it. Only played single-player at the moment tho.

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.

Re: [H] OT - Great week for gaming
I have heard the same. In fact, I understand it's more DooM3.5 then Quake 4. I'll wait this out too. I got RoE for DooM3 for 5 bucks at Target this last weekend. I can wait.

Re: [H] OT - Great week for gaming
I paid $230 for it on Newegg, figured it was worth the extra cash. -- Brian
RE: [H] OT - Great week for gaming
Yeah, I run the 3800 X2 @ 2.4Ghz. No problem. I use the XP120 HSF combo (http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/) I've used it for a long time, mostly not for overclocking, but because it's quiet and gets the job done. I'm using a "crap" monitor for this card; an NEC 21" Multiview LCD. I run at 1600x1200. CW -- FIGHT BACK AGAINST SPAM!
