... "pown"


What I'm really curious about is the etymology of the word 'pwn'. Where does the word come from, when we split it into its components - 'p', 'w', and 'n'? Fascinating. :D

I can't belive it runs slow. Just not possible. My crappy Celeron 600 with 256 megs of sdram and a GeForce 4 MX restrains beasts like Morrowind without problems.

No. Get a new graphics card first ;)

Faster RAM, perhaps, rather than more of it.

Believe it - BF1942 has real hardware issues. With properly cranked system specs it'll run fine but with anything less than a medium/high specs computer you can forget full detail on audio and visual. It's a system whore, there's nothing more to it really.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

But KT has serious lag when turning all the graphics down. :)

Oh wait, I have a demo here. Let's see how it runs...

PIII 933, GeForce 4 Ti4400, 384 megs or ram - I have it set to highest level of detail and I haven't experienced any problems. BUT! It won't run on ANYTHING shorter than this at that resolution, etc.
