The +disconnect value/tweak (whatever you call it) is nice to know about, I was starting to get sick of seeing that iD intro after about 30 times! :P

Users with more than 512MB of RAM
Any of the above and “512”

So it's okay to put "512" if I'm running 768MB of RAM?

Thanks

Only important for people who havent got their gamma set up properly in the first place...or for peopel who are scared of the dark (which kinda defeats the point of the game)

I was considering putting in information of that nature, but decided they were "fixes" rather than "performance tweaks" which the article is aimed at

Bah Gamma cheats!

Doom3 is creepy as hell with things in the dark, its no fun if you see the guy stalking you before he leeps at you

I personally dont like how it's so dark. Does'nt seem realistic enough for me. Hopefully JC will implement radiosity in his next rendering engine.

Coupel mor etweaks, it appears Doom isnt detecting Vram sizes correctly, in your DoomConfig.cfg you may wish to adjust the following settings:

seta image_downSizeLimit

"1024" for 256mb cards
"512" for 128mb cards
"256" for 64mb cards

You may also want to add the following line to an "Autoexec.cfg" file (be sure to write protect it though as Doom will otherwise automatically delete it)

seta com_videoram "xxx"

(where XXX is the size of your video card RAM in megabytes)

You may also want to add the following lien to the end of the config file

seta com_videoram "xxx"

(where XXX is the size of your video card RAM in megabytes)

Thats also just for ATi, correct?
