Actually I got bored of trying to DL it, links are pretty flaky, check for CRC errors, I'm done with it, to bad sounded kewl
I have a HS cable connection, felt like I was on dialup

On Radeon, I speak no more

Vampyromaniac · Dec 26, 2002, 03:13 AM

No, it downloaded and installed fine. Just the game is too hefty for my card.

Took me like 40 min to DL.

Thanks for info, I'll try again today. Traffic seemed to be pretty heavy overall last night. My card should be OK.

What are you running, just out of curiousity ??
Hope Santa brings you a late VID GIFT,LOL

All-In-Wonder Radeon 32MB ddr (166/166)

Yes I got a little money lately, so I hope to get an AIW8500 soon . . . after I make a donation of course

fornicatarachnid · Dec 27, 2002, 03:00 AM

My son got it with his x-box for xmas and from what i've seen so

far the game looks awesome. I'm downloadin the PC demo now

(56 k

) I only hope it's as good as the x-box version

blix · Dec 27, 2002, 09:39 AM

I'm glad that I have Splinter Cell for my Xbox as I would hate to try and move around with the keyboard and mouse

fornicatarachnid · Dec 27, 2002, 10:09 AM

Finally got it downloaded, I left it downloadin overnight

My video card (GF2GTS) doesnt have

enough memory (32mb), it keeps crashing with vidoe memory

I already did for when I get my new system

Not sure about the 'bring it over' bit though....More like 'come

and get it if you want it '

DLed in bout a minute 30 tonight, installed runs fine on my old:
Geforce2 400MMX 32M, no chopiness at all, looks nice.
As for VC I'm waiting, but in my opinon, GF4, if your really horny to buy right now

As I've said before, may sound DUMB, check what Windows SP1 did to your swap file, choose Windows sets settings, makes a world of difference, as it did on BF1942, try that on your XBOX, fool's, LOL

Cheers VAMP

fornicatarachnid · Dec 28, 2002, 01:05 AM

I tried altering all the settings to minimum res and low detail and

it runs fine now

Maybe they changed the server around, 5 min max.
Send my bud a message on ICQ for our times at recording studio today, sent it, looked down at task bar, file complete, no Joke

As for rest of message, hoping ya pick the Viddy Card for you part, was for you.

XBox was general, although as a console, it is pretty amazing!!

Cheers
