If the sad fool had understood it WAS a joke , any and all comebacks would have been appreciated. But someone with no concept of humour to jump in with a tirade like that is confirmation of what I already suspected :)

Your constant trolling of these forums is irritating. Grow Up.

And your point is?
You started the flaming, I made an innocent semi humourous remark obviously intended to be so, you were just too obtuse to understand and decided on a flame war instead

You dig fraggle, fraggle digs you. If he took it harder than you expected, you still started it.. c'mon boys lets let this one slide shall we?

Sure it can - you just have to know how to buy a computer (and be rich). A 1GHz Athlon with 256mb-512mb RAM and GeForce 2 GTS, 21" Monitor, 75GB HD will last you well into the future - 2-3 years even.

BTW - I think your crazed fish is awesome.

I wouldn't bet on that video card lasting that long... The hardware T&L engine would probably be outdated by then. As I understand it, T&L support is all-or-nothing; either the card supports everything the game tries to do or the cpu does everything. The second generation of T&L engines can probably do useful stuff that the first generation can't, so support for them is iffy.

1ghz athalon suckz..an p3 800 with the same amount of memory can outperform it..
get intel's new 1.1 ghz (as long as it doesn't have a celeron next to it either)

"1ghz athalon suckz..an p3 800 with the same amount of memory can outperform it.."

ehh... ok... news to me.

when will people ever make games for anything less than an utter top of the range system, i was dead chuffed 'cos i'd just managed to get 64meg and i figured out how to set the jumpers so it runs at 266MHz and these bastards are saying you'll need 700? i mean for christs sake, give the little guy a chance why dontcha?
bastards!

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know about the reccomendations, because I haven't ever had the pleasure of being below the SOTA mark. ::sighs:: I know this just sounds so terrible of me to say this, but geez, I feel like I'm missing out here or something. Mmph.

I remember when UT came out and everyone was like, OH, MAN, THIS GAME IS SO HARD TO RUN!...
I never had problems running UT. At well over 1280x1024, 32-bit color, and maxed-out detail. The textures choked my 32MB card at the time, sometimes, but usually I ran well over 90 FPS. Just me, maybe.

I try update my computer every six months or so, whether it needs it or not, just so I can stay SOTA (which is state of the art for all you non-shadowrun players). Even if I didn't, I really don't think I need to, considering that I'll be SOTA (or close to it) for awhile, and my system will be at least viable for 2 years. Those of you who are wondering what it is, well...let's just say I love my daddy very much. *wink*
