Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

thats ok Swedix|BuF you dont need to answer my posts
i probably would be more happier if you didnt.

If you mean, are they going to use the latest set of instructions that the P4 uses, I would guess that they probably would. I would also imagine that they'd code for the latest directX too. Though I doubt all of that would cause degraded performance on an AMD chip, or even a P3.
No matter if WinXP and U2 are optimized for the P4 or not; in any case they'll run faster on an Athlon at a 20% lower core frequency.
Intel = 0wned

Intel is that company that snowed the reporters and gave itself a big rep to the stupid average computer consumer.
Pentium is down at the bottom of my list of the best processer, if your going to be runnig a server or playing games Athlon is the key word. Athlon has it's new 1.53Ghz AMD Athlon chip which is equal to the speed of a 2.3ghz pentium(if it was made) but with mre stabillity.
Oh and... If U2 was going to be made for pentium I guess it'd have to suck so your FPS wouldn't go down to 10 all the time.... =P
So in recap:
Pentium=Stupid consumer
Athlon(or related)=WEll, we could say geek, nerd, hardcore gamer, programmer.

why the hell they did they put out a bunk chip?
thought they would be smarter then that?
maybee they are getting fat and lazy
wile amd is still lean and hungry
or they got somthing planned for the long run

Intel wanted the MONEY same as Microsoft.
AMD wanted the high SPEED same as LINUX!
Get AMD ATHLON XP 1.8Ghz for under $300.00!!!!!!!!!!
it is FASTEST than ever.

Quite confusing really but i would go for AMD over Intel at the moment.

Yea, I guess with the Athlon you have to have serious cooling gear, since the chip does not have the pentium's built-in slow down feature when it begins to heat up. And there are guys who think this is bad, but for the average joe who doesn't want to tinker endlessly with hardware its actually a good thing.

If the WinXP drivers for your 3D card/soundcard are better than their Win9x/2K counterparts the game will run faster. But the speed differences should be marginal - definitely not enough to justify spending a lot of money on XP...
