im so damn sad. i feel like killing myself. i cant run the diagnostic for the beta signups because my current computer doesnt meet the requirements. i was filling out the application for the computer im getting at the end of the month.

i guess im going to curl up into a ball and cry in the corner of my room for the next few days...

That same thing is happening to me, my new comp is getting some upgrades and I won't have it till later this week.

My new comp:

P4 2.1GHz
512MB RAM
GeForce 4 Ti4600
120 GB HD
Audigy Platinum Sound Pack

Computer I did my DXDig on:

P4 1.7GHz
256MB RAM
GeForce 2 MX400
80GB HD
SoundBlaster !Live! Sound Pack

This is gonna be a problem huh, but I did put I wanted to get in open beta tho. and I wrote a note that I had a better computer and the specs I entered on the 2nd page were that of my new comp.

I feel your pain. I'm getting a new comp soon too, so I can't sign up with this peice of @#$%. Heck, I'm not even old enough, stupid beta...

My new comp will have

P4 2.5GHz
512MB
Radeon 9500 Pro
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer

Can't wait, I'm stuck with this 500Mhz, 256MB, and internal graphics and sound! AHHHHHH

This is almost exactly the same computer I have, all but the hard drive. Mine is 40GB.

I am also going to get an upgrade, but not a whole new computer, just new video card and RAM

thinking about this.. nvidia is screwed for this year

geforce fx best model = tad better then 9700
ati will have the r350(r300 was 9700) very soon

of course nvidias drivers will be out and totally pump up the FX but still.

Saint · 2003-02-21, 09:00 PM

ATI could be the industry standard if they got their drivers up to date.

We'll see. I still trust NVidia more then ATI because of their more stable, and reliable, drivers. ATI will have to pump out more then 1 solid card to ever have me switch over. They need to get atleast a couple out in a row.

DONT KILL YOURSELF!

WNxUndeadFenix · 2003-02-21, 10:26 PM

too late, i died

BUGGER · 2003-02-21, 10:48 PM

Just live wit it. I think I didn't meet the Ram, but hell, when the game comes out itsa free world.

Moloch · 2003-02-22, 01:29 AM

yeah, I have a 3d prophet ultra which barely meets the reqs, and I have a SBLive which should cut it, but I need a new mobo, processor, and ram.

Abomination · 2003-02-22, 08:26 AM

Grr, i'm 256 RAM off the mark

Should hopefully be getting a few nice upgrades though:

3.06Ghz Processor
Another 512 RAM
GeForce 4 Ti 4600

It's only a matter of when though :/

Wouldnt worry to much about Nvidia. Nvidia actually updates its technology, while ATI just crams more and more ram and processing onto the same outdated card. I think the 9700 was the first card in years that didnt just have a billion chips crammed into it.

phadE · 2003-02-22, 10:13 AM

im not by any means an ati fan but what you just said was total bs. nVidia has been using the same core since the geforce 3. while ati has come up with new tech. get your facts right.
