        And if outside US; bent over when customs call you with the tax charge

        Retail for me. No bother with the wait. Come on ppl who are upset, its a few extra days, which I might add you would be waiting for anyway!

          Yay for misinformed opinions...

          Have you ever tried using the multisampling function for shadows in DooM 3? Do you have any idea how much processing power it costs?

          They went the way they did for a reason. They did it because it looks good while not draining HUGE CPU resources for the more important things (like physics). If it were possible to make soft-shadows that react dynamically to every light source in the gameworld, they'd have done it by now. It just isn't feasible in a radiosity-based lighting engine. (Y'know.. it's the reason why Half-Life 2 isn't totally pitch-black like DooM 3.)
          it is possible. have you ever heard of a game called Frag-Ops? it's a mod for UT2k4. now the mod itself sucks ass. but the coders added full dynamic based lighting that reacts to EVERY LIGHT SOURCE. granted it uses a hell of a lot of processing power, but people with 6800 GTs and AMD 64's are able to run it at great framerates. the point is full dynamic shadowing support should be an OPTION, but not the default. it's not hard to code such a thing, it's just hard to deal with nubs saying "whaaa i can't use it cause it's too slow" (actually you're computer is a piece of shit, but that's beside the point)



          and the whole thing about Doom3 being pitch black is a crock of shit. that has nothing to do with the engine, it has to do with the Doom3 mappers setting the light intensity and radius too low. try using r_lightscale 5. omg! it's really bright all of a sudden and you didn't lose any performance OMFG!!! i can't help id stuipdly set r_lightscale to 2, but you can fix that yourself.

                what do you mean it "runs a lot better"? it's going to have higher res textures, more polygons, and more physics. how can it POSSIBLY run better?

                            Question : Which is better?



                            - Pentium 4 Processor 560 Supporting Hyper Threading Technology

                            with 3.60 GHZ and 800 MHZ Front Side Bus 1MB L2 Cache 90nm Arch



                            or



                            - AMD ?? i do not know much about amd. but i heard their better for gaming like aka half life 2, and doom3, also even farcry.



                            I still have not decided on what to get either the intel p4 hyper threading or amd... some one with a/an amd background and experience with em could ya tell me whats so special about amd...



                            :P
