AMD 2200+, GeForceFX5600 ... ran it on 800x600 with medium settings, game ran perfectly, very smoothly, really good frame rate, I can definately increase the resolution to 1024 and probably the graphics quality too ... i'm using the latest nVidia drivers off the site ... you'd probably get better results with the omega version ...

Okies, well I got a P4 2.6 with HT OC'd to 3Ghz with 1GB 400mhz ram, will it run okay u think on 1024x768 on medium? I always use omega drivers (Y) ;) Btw, thanks for the reply.

It's because pixels were state-of-the-art graphics at the time. But since people seen these graphical wonders they want bigger and better each time.

What?:huh:: A pixel is the smallest picture element of a digital image. Pixels a present on everything from the earliest digital display, to your television, to your phone, to your LCD. It has nothing to do with quality of graphics.

and I understand that, but it doesnt mean that a game cant be enjoyed at lesser resolutions, people need to stop beign so close minded about it

Dude :no:

Go play the original Doom, you can actually SEE the pixels!

In newer games you can't see them they are ( Mostly ) always invisible to the naked eye.

Thats what i meant!

Sanct: I completely agree.

more pixels better quality

More pixels equals more detail. Higher resolution means better quality, which is yeah, just more pixels. Still, I think my point is valid. The pixels themselves aren't related to quality, it's how they are displayed which matters.

Oh okay. You got your terminology wrong.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
