Lasereth: I must say of all the gamers I know your the only one that would be fine with an average processor so long as the video card was fast as f**k. I guess there are all types but had me or anyone I know had $500-$600 bucks and an average gaming computer, none of us would spend all or even nearly all of it on video card upgrade alone. For example take a Athlon XP 1500+, 384MB DDR, Geforce 4 Ti 4600, 60 gig hd, with $500-$600 bucks it really doesn't improve your computer $500-$600 bucks worth when your just swapping the Geforce 4 for a 6800 Ultra or a Radeon X800 XT. Yes doom 3 will look prettier but it won't run faster and it won't make the computer as a whole faster. If you wanna blow $500 now to just make doom 3 look pretty thats fine by me but the money could be better spent on the system as a whole instead of just doom 3.
Also before I go further everyone is entitled to run whatever kind of system they want but when you recommend something to someone else you should recommend what they want and not what you want. If a dad calls you up and says his son got doom 3 for his birthday but it runs terrible on the family computer and he has $500 to upgrade the computer right now, the right recommendation isn't a $500 video card unless the whole family only plays doom 3 and other video games on the computer.
To almost everyone else, alot of kevin haters I C. I wonder if you hate kevin cuse of kevin or because of the leo, patrick, host no more thing. No reply needed really because I think he's alright and not a dumbass as some here are quick and/or eager to point out. All in all I don't care about anything except for G4 makes and turns good shows into crap, damn comcast monopoly. Where are our anti-monopoly laws when a non-microsoft company tries to take over everything. Around here comcast wants into everything, they already have cable tv, internet, phone, television station. Every year they get into something else and their prices are rediculous.
