Another bit of good news for the British company IMGTECH (incase you don't know PowerVR are IMGTECH's PC/Arcade division) is how well their digital radio's are selling.


"London UK, 23rd September 2004: PURE Digital ? the world leading manufacturer of DAB digital radios ? reports that the latest DAB market research from GfK, a leading market research company, shows that PURE Digital products are number one in each of the UK DAB digital radio categories.

The leading DAB digital radio products, ranked by value, as reported in GfK?s June/July 2004 figures, are:

Kitchen ? PURE EVOKE-1 (with EVOKE-2 in second place)
Bedside/clock ? PURE TEMPUS-1
Handheld ? PURE PocketDAB 1000
Tuner ? PURE DRX-701ES (with DRX-702ES in second place
Advanced/memory ? PURE Bug
Portable ? PURE EVOKE-2"


Maybe it's time to dust off my old hercules 4500 once again and get it working with Doom3! :)

How long has it been since their last driver update? TBH, Im still waiting for the C&C Renegade fix for my Herc 4500.

And Ive never seen any driver updates since before Renegade was released.

Some PowerVR fans are working really hard on getting Doom3 working well with the Kyro2. From what I have read and heard Doom3 does run stable on the Kyro2 and they are now looking into ways to improve image quality and speed.

If I want to play Doom3, perhaps I should use my old Herc 4500 instead of my Radeon 9800 Pro.....

Unless ATI fix things or I nick back my Ti4400 that I gave my dad.

what problems are you having running doom3 with your 9800 pro? I have an old 9600 xt which runs it well with the latest drivers.
