Doom 3 Hardware Guide Debuts 392
Nosf3ratu writes "Over at HardOCP, the boys have teamed up with id software again to publish the Official Doom 3 Hardware Guide. As the guide states: 'With the prospect of so many new people being brought into gaming by DOOM 3, there will likely be a lot of questions regarding the computer hardware needed to support it.'"

I suspect one of these things will occur:
1) my heart will stop for two or three seconds when I hear the first 5.1 audio
2) my bladder will burst from playing through the entire game in one marathon 54 hour session
3) I will immediately develop carpal tunnel and a permanent curved spine from sitting in my computer chair
4) My eyes will melt in their sockets like the Nazis in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
5) all of the above
BRING IT ON

Quite probably. I'll be building a new PC pretty soon, and it'll probably have something 'hip' and 'modern' like Windows 2000 for games...
Stuff like the Halo Editing Kit [cortana.org] and the version of Softimage XSI for Half-Life 2 [softimage.com] needs an NT-based operating system anyway, so I really should upgrade.
Anyone know where I can get Win2000 cheaply in the UK? Suprnova need not apply...

Thief 3 wasn't supported on Win9x/ME either. Turns out it the biggest problem was the inclusion of the executable icon using an ordinal OOB on Win9x!

The L stands for lighting. Depending on the quality of the T&A, you may or may not want L. If T&A is low quality, you definately don't want any L. If there is no T&A, the L is a moot point.
