havent had a chance to play it yet but it should be AWESOME! and only 20bucks too. its made by the same people who made garrys mod and is for all platforms

Haha, I know what you’re think but no, not that sort of help!

I mean IT help and advice from the trusted IPX Team.
I currently have an Evga GTX 285 classified GPU. Rest of the system is an intel i7, 1336 running on a P6X58D ASUS mobo, 4gig of ram, 2×1.5tb WD Green HDD, 2×180gb raptor HDD, 950w PS.

My issue is, over the last year or so, the specs of a once epic machine have become sub par, espwcially in the GPU department, however it’s been able to handle everything I’ve thrown at it – at medium settings! For certain games which are intense I drop them to low, but the difference is negligible! (Will take more about that later)
Now most know, the gpu card runs hot, real hot, +85 degrees and the fan is at full tilt! (You can hear it when im on mumble – its that jet fighter wngine in the vackground) It’s always been like this. It goes hard or goes home!

In a nutshell, my current base system is getting a little long in the tooth. This Athlon 64 X2 4200+ has done me very well for the past several years, but I figure it’s time to get a long-term upgrade now while I can still afford it (some of you know what I mean here….).

Upgrading the CPU means upgrading the motherboard, which means upgrading the RAM. I’m thinking along the lines of an AMD FX CPU, mobo, and hopefully 8GB of RAM. Near $300 would be great, $400 would be doable, suggest anything higher only if you’re willing to donate ;)

So, for an example:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 (I prefer the lower wattage models, don’t need an octacore unless the price is really right).
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 Evo R2.0 – 4 DIMM slots ideally, USB 3.0 is nice, haven’t researched the different chipsets available.
RAM: Not sure… 8GB of whatever suits best. Always had good luck with Corsair.

Any ideas, suggestions etc. would be appreciated.

I would love to write pages on how this game looks amazing, but I think there is no way I can describe it better than a few videos.. Check them out.

Comes out 15/11. Singleplayer only so it’s not like we can play it as IPX, but whoa, looks incredible.

ID software has been getting worse and worse past few years but this seems to be the end for Linux support for quake live(from what i read it never worked right on linux anyway) and probably the end for linux and Id software(all their linux devs are gone now even carmack has moved onto the occulus(his position is more cosmetic in ID now))

kinda weird they took Quake3 which was great and broke it and made quake live in the browser and now they are taking it out of the browser and dropping honestly the best feature of quake 3(cross platform support). atleast ioquake3 is still as awesome as ever and steam is doing wonderful things for linux(they just announced total war: rome 2 out on linux next year)
