I don't know about all titles, I play all the unreal tournament titles starting with GOTY along with doom3 and quake4. These are the ones that need hardware. I still play doom and quake3 (ioquake3 now) but these don't need a lot of computer power but a decent video card is a plus. I play return to castle wolfenstien once in a while too but find it crashes after a while, I'm not sure why. The unreal games all give me good performance but doom3 and quake4 need more cpu and/or video card than I have to work at their best. I find they run a bit clunky. My specs.. CPU: AMD Athlon64 2800+ MEM: 512 Megs VID: nVidia GeForce FX5700LE (128 Megs) (not high end) After learning how to make these things work I find they work just as well or better under linux than windows. We must remember though that a lot of these games were not developed for linux and so the linux port hasn't had the development that their windows counterparts have. Anyway, that's my $0.02.. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
