    In that case I'd say PCI-E (or descendants) looks like the future but at present nothing is on the market to take advantage of the potential. So I wouldn't be too worried about getting an 'old' AGP card.

      Is there really a difference between lets say, 3.4 GHz and 3.6 GHz?

        3.6

        3.4

        =.2 +

        so yes technically yes

          Well you can pick it up in benchmarks, but in terms of a noticeable difference in practical terms there isn't one.

          Always worth looking at the prices. 200Mhz more when you are at the top of the range costs a lot, for small gain. 200Mhz a bit off the top might well not set you back much more.

            hehe, we started talking about AOE III and now we're talking about graphic cards... it really shows how bad RTS games are, if you have to be worried about gfx cards...
            I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

              or actually learning that a RTS game is different in terms of setup with a PC..for optimal performance

              I mean

              U wouldnt take a hammer to do a skillsaw job now would you?
              I hear lots of complaints about this game sux or blows..because of this or that when in fact the pc was never intended to perform

              or

              somone sez a game sux or blows because it look just like the version of two years earlier

              we need to have the proper equipment to run state of the art games

              I believe this is what we are doing hee

                Exactly. I've heard MCE enhances graphics, is this so?

                  well..if MCE is set up on a dual boot with a front side/back with a dl isdnoverload then yes

                  but if said MB is a monorail busload then probably then port would need to be manually opened and of course one would have to do an ip config from the "RUN" option on DOS

                  But thats all irrelevant if your imp code is set to a number greater than the d/l speed your clock is set at on a 133/133 speed in the BIOS

                  ok

                  back to topic at hand

                    That picture is classic.

                          why dont u guys care bout this game, it sounds like they'll make an impossibly different (as in more real) physics engine

                          BTW by the time this is out (end this yr maybe? ) the hardware to run it wouldnt cost too much (like mid range generation directX 10?

                          dont hate RTS, it has a lot in common w/ TBS

                            I agree

                            that this will be a next generation engine...or the hopes of it will be

                            as for hating I dont think people hate as much as dont care for

                            Me I like both


                            In CIVIII in the few games of MP I had the privelege of playing I like whatever they call it where you play your turns and click in and then it would seem like simultaneaously the next turn was up..kinda like a mid point of the RTS and TBS

                            I do both games each for a different reason

                            In AOEII:The Conquerors I enjoyed the map editor and hope this will have a similiar feature

                            Most games have decent editors except C & C Generals which I havent really had the time to learn

                            Ok

                            Looking forward to I think Solver said February for some screenshots or updates

                              I think a historical RTS with a realistic physics engine is a terrific idea. I'm just a little antsy about the execution; seems like it would be pretty difficult to pull off.

                              I'm also wondering how they are going to pull off the whole "age of exploration" thing in a RTS context. Will there be playable aboriginal nations?

                                No, but aboriginal nations are there (computer-controlled) and you can "ally" with them. Allying with a native tribe gives you a bonus. Allying with them all might or might not win the game for you.
