Congrats on getting your new PC!
Nice to see your new monster running 0.58, show off. 
I'm getting 1200% (85fps) with 0.57.
Machine spec: P4 2.4Ghz with a Geforce 3 Ti 200.

Crown: for real? That's fast man. Mine is a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM + all the other crap considered "top of the line". I gots me a nice 17" flat panel monitor too I hate to think that in a few years this will be slow.
It's also kinda ironic when I think about this: I have this PC sitting here, and next to it the good old Plus/4. One is 3200 times faster than the other (assuming the plussy is running on 1Mhz). That's 20 years difference for you.

uhm.. its more like 50,000 times faster. Do not forget execution times, parallelism, wider data, more powerful machine instructions etc..
And 512meg is low end memory

Csabo in a few years your PC will still be F A S T.
It looks like the old 32bit technology has come to a stand still, almost. 3.2Ghz have been about for some time and are still one of the fastest PC's we the puplic can buy. The only thing that will let it down is the GFX card. You have more than enough power.
Even the newly released Doom 3 which will stay in the gaming scene for the next 3-4 years as a bench mark game uses half your power. Nower days GFX cards are everything and a good dose of memory, not so much the CPU.

About 1040% (37 fps) with YAPE 0.57 NTSC on my humble XP1800+
And Lando, if AMD get their way, we'll all be using 64bit x86 CPUs in a few years

Yes it is for real...
It is a 3Ghz Norhtwood P4 with HT 800Mhz FSB 512K cache (so it is not the fastest available), with 1Gbyte dual channel RAM and Ati 9800XT card, nothing is overclocked...
Actually Doom3 pretty much uses all this power, and it could handle some more for smoothness. It is playable but could be smoother...

@ Crown, Doom 3 runs fine on my 2.4Ghz but could do with some tasty GFX card as my Geforce 3 Ti 200 is the min spec card. Choppy frame rate, only tryed 800*600 so far. A spare gig of memory wouldn't go a miss either as xp has to almost reload its self when I quit.
Might hold out for the xbox version than rather waste money for one game.
@ Ulysses777, yeah thats the way forward but people are too scared of change.
