Quakecon Hardware

1
The kids over at AnandTech try to blend-in, down at QuakeCon...but end up talking about hardware stuffs (which is what they do best anyway :)

Surprisingly enough, the Athlon (running on a non-production motherboard) combined with the Rage Fury Pro (a beta product in itself) did turn out to be a very stable setup. Kudos to AMD and ATI for putting all that together for such a smoothly run operation at this year's Quakecon, although there were a few hiccups, overall the hardware had no problem making these gamers happy. For those of you that are more interested in the video card, the response from a few of the gamers that tried out the Athlon systems was generally positive, and a few users even thought that the video cards used in the machines were TNT2s. If you're judging solely on 32-bit color image quality, telling the difference between the Rage 128 Pro and the TNT2 is next to impossible.
