Da heck is going on guys? Intel said this is EXTREME so it should be able to run Doom3&HL2 right?
I have a Intel i865G motherboard with the uber-fast Intel Extreme graphics which kicks all yer X800XT-PE and 6800Ultras ass so why won't it run Doom3???
F*ckin hell I paid a heafty 900bux for it!

Arrrrgg this is anoying, it's meant to have Extreme graphics!

I even e-mailed Intel to ask them why this is happening and they said:
"Dear Valued Customer

Our product is designed and built for Extreme performance so of course it won't run games such as Doom3&HL2 because they ARE NOT EXTREME enough.
To show you what EXTREME performance is, you must drop it down a 10sotrey building then run it over a tank to show its true EXTREMENESS."

WTF??? EXTREME??? I'm gonna nuke Intel for lying about EXTREME performance!

Your CPUis just fine for running the games, it's the weak intergrated graphics that is killing you. Get a Nvidia 6600GT-about $200- and you will be rocking and rolling.

The problem is entirely in the game software. For it is not coded efficiently, thus wasting the Extreme Grafix solution you have.
Really it is a conspiracy, backed by the hardware manu's intended to create a wave of upgradiant society craving the latest and greatest grafix kardz.

Isn't it obvious the Intel Extreme2 is the newest version of integrated SLI?!

Squared is next gen and will have like four GPUs. They'll place them in a diamond formation around the CPU because the symmetry will make them run faster.

I see you finally got the new title - congrats!

Remember Intel Extreme Graphics stands for "extremely poor intergrated".

On the other hand, what did youexpect from onboard graphics anyway-seriouly.

Dont listen to them! All you need to do is go uninstall windows XP and put MAC OS on that machine! Then you will see Doom3 shine like nothihg else! BTW, good choise in game! It totaly rockes the pants off of HL2 and Farcy by a long shot!
