DOOM 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, so when i heard about ID software coming out with the newest version of doom, i flipped! when i saw pictues, i absolutely flipped!!! so for 2+ years now ive been patiently waiting for this game (downloading clips, trailers, beta demos, leaked this and that) ...and now ...finally ...its out!!!!! and let me tell you ...it is the scariest goda%@m game ive ever played in my entire life, its everything they said it would be. Its dark, creepy, and it will scare the SHI@ out of you!!!!!!! my suggestion, play it with ear phones, and in the dark ....wow!! i picked it up on the 2nd, 2 days before it even went out on shelves, Gamestop(formerly funcoland) had it early evening so i was there!! it is worth every penny ..all 5,400 of them! ;)
oh itsd definitely hardware intense man ..i have a p4 3ghz and a geforece ti 4200 and 256ddr 3200 ...and it lags at 1024x768 at high quality, i can only imagine what it looks like with everyhting on ...holy god, im pretty far in the game, its getting a bit more evil and intense as i go ...like demonic stuff goin on around, really wierd, scary as hell though i love it!!! cant you tell by all the !!!!! haha

oh yea i know ..you have to have some pretty decent hardware ..but most shouldnt have trouble, especially at low resolutions ...most should people shouldnt have trouble at low res's ..but honestly, this game is actually worth upgrading your pc for ...ive never seen a game look this real ..or if anything just wait for the xbox version in october ...(youd probably spend less on a new xbox and the game, than you would a new motherboard/cpu combo, video card, and memory!)
oh i totally agree!! the graphics wont be even close, ive seen some screens and they look pretty choppy and jagged, i also read that doom 3 will be pushing the xbox to its absolute limits! so thats not saying much for xbox ...and plus pc video cards cpu's are getting faster and better and better! (and more expensive but hey!) so yea, consoles are FAR from coming near pc technology
mmmm.... xeon dual processor... if i had one of those, im sure that would be 'no problem' with the cpu speed. hehehe, and one of those 30" apple cinema displays... woaaa..... thats some good stuff...
btw, anyone know of the best video card i can get for $150-$200. i bought a nvidia geforce fx 5700 le last week and iv been having glitches, i tried tech support but it was ringing for 40 min and my cordless phone batteries died.
anyways i know i probably should have started a thread for this but since we're talking about computer parts i thoguht id throw this in. i just want an opinion on what you guys have had the least trouble with.

I think the ati 9800s are doing pretty well. I know the nividia chipsets are doing better with the game because it is code with openGL and nividia rules at openGL.
I am running the game pretty will with my ATI 9600XT AiW. The graphic rule that much I can tell you. Also nice part about an LCD is you can get away with a slight lower FPS but not by much
