Much Anticipation

Well after much work i have finaly got my computer in proper working order again. Running older video drivers and uninstalling service pack 2 seems to have done the trick. As soon as i started using NVIDIA drivers 44.23 every problem went away. Unreal Tournament 2004 ran smoother than ever. I hesitated buying Half Life 2 today because of my graphics problems but now that those are solved i thin a trip to EB tomorow is a must. I was checking out the final requirements for Half Life 2, it can actually run on Direct X 7.0. It is the ideal of game design and deffinatly should serve as an example to other manufacturere. Unlike Doom 3, which seems to require some theoretical supercomputer to play, It is amazingly backwards compatible. it will run on and old computer with a cheep video card and achient drivers but at the same time can give a challendge to the most sophisticated gaming machiens currently on the market. I can understand why it took so long to be released, the game engine must be incredable.
