Ydiss - I agree with you if all you want to do is play the game. I want to be able to turn everything up and appreciate the bells and whistles.

As far as the processor and such, I have plenty. Maybe another 512 of ram, and a possible upgrade from my xp2200 to a xp3000 sometime in the future, but not anytime soon. I bought my ti4200 cheap, knowing it was only a short term solution. A 9-12 months ago, I decided that if I was going to drop a bunch of cash of a vid card, I might as well wait until there was a game worthy of it, and get the current top dog, or at least something close to it. I think HL2, doom and halo all coming out close together is a worthy event.
