You know, it would STILL be worth it. By the way, anyone see any tutorials for Doom and Linux? It's been a while and I had read one but can't find it.
The good news: Doom3 can be played natively under linux http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/doom/
Yes, excellent! Wonderful stuff, I will make sure to drop ID a line and congratulate them.
I do have to admit ID is very cool about things. Which is a reason I be sure to BUY from them. It's weird isn't it? They release free copies of their games and are Linux friendly, and THAT makes me buy the stuff ;)
Bleh! I'd have thought 480 a whacking heavy-duty server PS. Well, I suppose if I'm building a new PC anyway I can incorporate such a power supply. I'll admit though, seems a very un-green thing to be doing just to play a game ... Thanks Gerhard, very useful warning, I would never have guessed that.
DOOM IS NOT JUST A GAME !!!!!! GOOD GOD! *Cries* Doom is beyond "Just" a game. I got the Doom Collector's set for Christmas and let me tell you, I may not have had a computer when it came out but let me tell you, I PLAYED DOOM FOR 12 HOURS. The only game I could ever handle that long was Unreal Tournament, and Twisted Metal 2. That's it.
