I wish i'd run more smooth on my laptop. I'm not saying that it sucks or anything but compression at the cost of performance? Doesn't tickle my fancy.

It's not necessarily compression, it's mathematical generation instead of prerendered textures and audio data (which easily add up and fill up cds as you see in games these days). And considering it's an actual game in such *small* amount of code, that they spent years on, I'm suprised it runs as fast as it does on my computer.

Not even remotely getting the point, are you? Funnily, I always had the impression that all these productions with severe size constraints (at least a lot of 64k and smaller intros) show off much more creativity in general than those where you can waste resources no end.
All of the in game and open cenamatics are all mathically generated...wow!! So that is why it runs so slow on my pc. I'm getting a Athlon XP 2600+ 2.08 Ghz will that be enough to play it nicely with my MX 4000 or will it still be painly slow?
As far as I know the MX series doesn't have any pixel shading, and .kkrieger HAS to have pixel shading to run, otherwise it'll quit on the loading screen. In the very least though, you won't know until you try..

also, DA i Like your avatar
You crazy Europeans and your "demo scene." I'm more of a gameplay guy myself, viewing graphics as a mere means of supporting the underlying game, hence my not buying Doom3. Still, those demos are pretty cool, even though I've never done more than look at screenshots.
Err, my not buying Doom 3 has more to do with it's only so-so multiplayer thingy for online play. Meaning, if I have a version that's good for single player and LAN's only, that's fine by me.
