Huzzah! You said it yourself. :devil:

Hey, let's turn this into a "What are my specs?!" thread! AMD AthlonXP 2600+ 512mb DDR GeForce 4 ti4600

A lot of mods are going to fail at the start of Half-Life 2; this can be seen throughout history in other games. It might even be possible that every mod listed in the poll will fail. So this is sort of pointless.

Probably because he has a Radeon 9800.

Yes, clock speeds for processors are measured in Mhz and Ghz respectively. AMD uses a numbering system to denote performance (Not completely accurate), but their clock speeds are still measured in Mhz/Ghz.

You forgot a few mods, bub. *cough*

An AMD cpu will be fine. Just because Intel's high-end processors (which cost a lot) are faster, it doesn't mean AMD cpus are slow.

In the dune buggy video, the random boulders scattered along the path were models, not world geometry.

Yeah, I made an image to compare.

I think people are mistaken on their views. Everything might have been finished in September 2002, as in, the art or the basic core components to the engine. However, it doesn't mean that when Half-Life 2 ships, it'll be this amazing piece of work totally different and improved from what was...

Cartoonish. :dozey:

Oh my god! It's Edcrab from the Sven Co-op forums!

Oh my god, it's the evil Sniper!

The reason why Intel's MRM tech would have been a godsend to modders is not because it looks better (though it doesn't look too bad), but because it would save modellers a lot of work. Not only that, but it would save memory and disk space for more important things you want to include in your...

Here's a better answer I received from Valve on the matter: "The CPU overhead for MRM cost too much. It was originally designed for an environment where per triangle costs versus tesselation were much higher than they turn out to be if you organize them in a hardware-friendly format...

Please read Intel's MRM technology page before saying such a statement.

Battlezone 2 wasn't slow at all for me with Intel's MRM tech.

Pandemic Studios uses MRM in all of their games. E.g. Battlezone 2, Dark Reign 2, and their new titles.

If they wanted to do that, then they would be using MRM technology, since it's purpose is to increase performance.

Read the post I made at the top of the page. Valve licensed it for use with Team Fortress 2.
