it\'s pathetic you even compare them



Just like how you are comparing the XBOX  to a modern pc hardware set-up for playing Doom 3; Hypocrite :p  My point was that at least there is a console out there that is hardware capable of housing a game like DOOM 3. This isn\'t a ps2 vs. XBOX debate mm, all I am saying is you should be grateful that at least the XBOX will open a door to many budget gamers giving them the privilege to play DOOM 3, otherwise not possible for those lacking a nice PC set-up.

rather distasteful and unnecessary.  I guess you\'ll do anything to get yourself out of a corner though.

I won\'t insult "budget gamers", because at sometime in all our lives, we live off a budget, it\'s just how we divide that budget up and support our hobbies. I have never been what MM calls a "budget gamer", but I know not everyone can afford a $3500 dollar PC just so they can play two games and download pr0n. Hell, I have a decent paying job and it\'s still breaking me after I factor in my bills.

Right now I\'m playing Far Cry on a video card I\'ve had for 3 years, at a resolution higher than the Xbox\'s native resolution.. but without FSAA. I\'m using Very Low settings for everything (as prescribed by the game itself) and it\'s running around (at the least) 30fps.

The textures in Doom III for Xbox don\'t look all that much better.

including some reputable links to prices. (ie not the cheapes POS online store on pricewatch)

Sure, sure why don\'t we wait for the PC version to come out before we make comparisons.

You want top of the line, you pay for top of the line. As always, it\'s you trying to dig yourself out of a corner...

You spend $350 for 1 gig of good RAM

You spend $ 400 for a decent CPU and if you want an extreme CPU , you spend upwards of $ 800.

You spend $500 on a top of the line VIDEO CARD

That\'s already more than $1,200. And you haven\'t got into a DVD-R / four large HD\'s / Motherboard / good Monitor.

I think what you meant to say is, you can build a decent rig for $1,200 with a crappy monitor.

what motherboard, what ram, also 512mb is kind of cutting it, 5950(were you smoking crack when you bought that card)
Fx line was a disater.

15" lcd-(we all know it\'s a cheap ass low quality LCD) Ghosting, etc...

Heck a decent LCD costs $500

My point is, that for $800 don\'t expect high quality.

350$ for gig of "good" ram?

wtf?  you live in australia or something?

LCD\'s suck for gaming, CRT > all

and my time if far too precious to list specs.  why in PC forum if dont know where to look and how?

3500$ PC

I\'m still waiting on specs... and what you expect to pay - lets keep it simple:

CPU
Motherboard
Ram
Graphics Card
Hard Drive
Power Supply
Sound Card
Media Drive (1)
Monitor

Ok.. that\'s it..
I\'ll let you cheap out, and put in a POS case, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc...  but the rest... I want to see some monster specs.
