I blame this all on ID software pushing back XBOX release of DOOM3 to 2005 (probably). I couldn't wait any longer so I ordered my AW this weekend and have been reading these forums and checking my order status WAY too often.

This must be what purgatory really feels like...

I don't think any of my parts will cause a delay, so I'm hoping that next week sometime it will arrive. Am I being to optimistic?

Can't wait!!!

Once you get your AW, you'll never touch your Xbox again!!

Good luck with the phase-game and welcome!

Gossard267 · 08-25-2004, 12:24 PM

I run my XBOX through my Alienware, actually. Pretty much ownz.

Beowulf67 · 08-25-2004, 03:31 PM

Yep...it's blue. It was a toss-up between blue and green, but I decided on blue. It matches my big rig

I will probably buy Doom3 on XBOX when it comes out, just cuz it supports 2player coop and I have a friend who will probably play thru it with me. Had lot's of fun with Halo that way. I do however MUCH prefer mouse and keyboard for FPS. Hoping this baby will do ok with Doom3, though there are so many more PC games I've been missing out on. Right now have a Gateway

Intel 1.5mhz, 512mb Ram, ATI mobility Radeon 7500 64mb

Hate it! Can't run squat!

Still on Phase 3. Guess I shouldn't be too concerned, as I've read AW doesn't necessarily update your Phase status. My wife just called me a geek for checking on status and writing to this forum...can't help it. I've read a lot of posts and check update status when I'm able...

Beowulf67 · 08-27-2004, 12:36 PM

Ugggh....Been on Phase 3 since Tuesday. Logged on to Dell's site and spec'd out an XPS, didn't order it though--wouldn't ship til the 15th with a 256mb RM 9800. Guess I'm having buyers remorse...

I hope that eventually NV will put out a 256MB card. Looked thru Dell threads here and ppl getting 3d03 scores more than twice that of 128MB cards (DUH, makes sense).

Maybe I should just relax....Ahh yesss...Blue Moon Belgian White tasting real good right now

Daegras · 08-27-2004, 01:16 PM

You should consider changing your card to an mr9700. probably do a whole lot better. And you'll find that the harddrive on your baby will fill quick. May wanna consider the 60 gb one.

Beowulf67 · 08-28-2004, 08:37 AM

Went to Phase 4 sometime last night/this morning, but we'll just call it today 8-28. Sent them an Email yesterday (didn't want to call 'em just yet) and got a reply within 3 hrs...doing the best we can kinda thing...I'll buy that.

Yeah, I could use a bigger HD, but kinda had to sacrifice some things to meet my price. I'll take some games off if space gets tight...long as I have room for some porno

As far as NV vs ATI goes, I've had both and most recently ATI in my Gateway Laptop, but figure I'll give the other guys a try, can always switch it out if we get another AGP upgrade (256MB PLEEEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!)

If I just made Phase 4 today I don't think I'll be getting it in a week, more like 2 wks I guess

Beowulf67 · 08-31-2004, 06:17 PM

Still Phase 4......GRRRRRR

Daegras · 08-31-2004, 07:13 PM

Btw, is your name in reference to the book?

Does your wife happen to read the forums?

Nice system man.

Beowulf67 · 09-01-2004, 10:28 AM

Handle is sort of for the book, but more just for Danish heritage.

No, don't think my wife reads these forums, but it wouldn't matter if she did. Besides, that would mean that she would have to stop playing 'There' for a few seconds to do anything else. She doesn't mind my stash o' porn so much.

Man, looks like it may be a while for my system. Just checked today and still on Phase 4

Sent them another email. Also checked on parts that might cause a delay and see that all Intel cpu's, except the 3.2 extreme, are at 14 day delays now. When I ordered it the 3.0ghz was not a delay item. Oh well. Really hoped I might have it this week. I'm on my regular hometime break (longhaul contractor for Fedex Custom Critical) to get the system and really don't want to leave until it comes in. The next few months would be soooo much better with my new Blue baby.....
