Word from one of the id people on some message board somewhere that I'm too lazy to look up again is that extracting out the pk4 files wouldn't help with load times at all. Most of the load time is taken up cramming the level into your computer's ram. Extracting the stuff is pretty speedy.

I can speak from experiance, I dropped about a second and a half off of every load since I extracted the data.  It might not have fixed the loading, but it does help, expecially if you have slow ram...

Doom 3 needs at least a 9600?

i can't afford that >_<

No, it doesn't. One guy I know is running it with a 9200. And I've heard of people being able to run it effectively with a 9100. :huh: That is something, I must say. Of course, more RAM would help in these situations.
It's twice as clear as heaven and twice as loud as reason.
