          • Hope he hasn't become the "man with no head"!!!

            • No, for every head that explodes, Parhelia Pro256 will grow two new ones. So we're currently at DualHead

                    No, it doesn´t. It just says the event will occur.

                                Considering both Doom 3 and the Parhelia are both unoptimized (as niether has been released), 60 fps at any res in Doom 3 would be pretty good If only it were true...
