As you would expect, it will be updated with higher resolution textures, higher polygon counts in models and reflection mapping. The customizable MP3 radio station is back, and this time around it will include a DJ and some advertisements. That's all at the moment, there are a few screenshots that have been scanned from a Gamestar magazine article over at GTAGaming.com if you're interested though. ------------------

Even VC, a better conversion, still lagged occaasionally and didn't load the levels properly on my PC. Which, runs Half Life 2 in Medium Settings with no problems or lag. Oh, Pixel Shader? Cars cost about £30-40 now. :/ For an entry level 9250 or equivilent. It'll probably not REQUIRE pixel Shader, you can probably turn it off easily. ------------------ -My site got deleted-

America, self designated "Home of Computer Technology" would have more DVD drives than us backward Europeans! Oh well. Either way, looks set to be a good game. ------------------ -My site got deleted-

If AMD's and Intel's dual core tech. comes out during those times also then it would be a time for some hardware upgrading! ATi are having some cheap cards out now, but I think these cards will not perform as good as their higher classes. www.theinquirer.net/?article=22186

Lobster Martin hi Joined: Feb '03	why get a 9800 when you can get a 9800 pro? No, it doesnt. Not that it really makes stuff look better though. Infact, I've never noticed the difference. I do need to upgrade it I just dont want to upgrade to...a 9800 pro. Even that's getting quite dated. I paid 130 for my graphics card about 2.5 years ago... I doubt a 9800 pro will last another 2.5 years as well as my gf4ti has

RAID0- Stripped: Two exact size physical hard drives are running in parallel mode, which brings out major performance. On April 13, 2005 all system that runs Windows XP , but does not have Service Pack 2 installed, will be automatically updated to Service Pack 2. Before the deadline, makesure to check if any of your system bios is compatible with the update because some system after installing SP2. The system will not be able to access Windows. *
