qI was bored so I decided to play around with the graphical settings on Unreal Tournament 2003 just to see how much of a difference all the little things made. Well I first turned all the quality settings to their highest position and took a screenshot at 1024 X 768. Here is a link to the pic.

So whats my point? If you are playing ut2003 on the bare minimum 733mhz processor with a geforce2 video card and 128mb of ram, you are probably missing a lot.
