yeah, this sure is getting somewhat out of hand (UFO's anyone?)
what we are chasing is a shadow, pure and simple... there has been proven that there is nothing in the but 0's, so why bother?
I'm just waiting for them to release the other movie... snooping through files that don't even...
personally, I think 256Mb DDR PC2700 is enough. perhaps 512 is better, I don't know, but to this day I have never run out of memory while playing any game.
although I admit that 512Mb might be a good investment for the future, with textures getting as big as common wallpapers and maps...
perhaps Valve and Steam are planning ahead?
they know everyone will tune onto steam and wait for the movie in the hour of release, right? so what they do is download the movie without people knowing it, simply in advance, so that the pressure isn't enormously high when they actually release...
ok, now I'm not absolutely sure on this thing, but from what I've seen, the Dell Dimension 8250 ships with RDRAM.
I'm not too much into RDRAM, but I hear it's pretty fast.
so I have no idea why you comp is sluggish, tried updating the drivers?
I totally trust Valve on this thing. I believe they know very well what they're doing, and I think Alyx is just an attempt to make the game alot more interresting.
Deacon: there could easily be some incompatability-problems or something, everything isn't just "showing off".
alb: it SHOULD be DDR in a computer like that, can't really imagine Dell even selling SDRAM machines anymore. but if I were you, i'd rather get faster memory, than more of it.
did you say you had 512Mb of SDRAM?
how's that for a bottleneck!
if you don't have DDR RAM, you should seriously think if getting it, it really improves speeds alot.
bwmaster: hehe, yeah perhaps... but it's still too bright...
a small site with little content can pass as being bright, but not a siite with that much content and text.
eyesore: actually, the most retarded thing I've seen is this post... so please, let it die in peace...
and in what way is "stop talking" more intelligent then "go eat something"?
ok, so they needed a new design... redoing some pictures just doesn't cut it :/
it really is the same thing, but just alot brighter. I found the old colors alot easier on the eyes, actually
eyesore: writing "stop talking" in a topic you started yourself isn't really helping you. if you don't wan't people to react to something you say, then DON'T SAY IT!
there HAVE been several discussions on this subject, and this one is in no way any different.
no one knows for sure, just...
