Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's
multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine
technology - where graphics, sound and gameplay are taken beyond the bleeding
edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders
and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of
the game.

UT2003 is
not quite as bandwidth hungry as Q3 Arena but still it gets a healthy boost from
overclocking as well.
Conclusions:
There's little doubt that Corsair
makes some kick ass memory and the 512MB XMS3200
LL memory module is another fine example of Corsair engineering that really
does speak for itself.
We had absolutely no problems running this memory at
200 MHz with the most aggressive memory timings enabled in the BIOS (at 2.5V). The
stick we tested was overclocked to about 210 MHz FSB with a voltage of
2.77V, with good stability.
With a retail price of $240 CDN ($170 US) for the large 512MB Corsair
XMS3200 LL module, it is obvious there is a premium at work here. But when you
consider the alternatives you can at least expect Corsair's memory will meet the
advertised specs. Another aspect to consider as you examine which memory
modules to buy for your home computer is Customer service. We've dealt a lot
with other companies such as Crucial which very good customer service, and
Corsair are no different. If you have a problem with your memory, Corsair
are there to actually help you out... and I'm talking from first hand
experiences so just consider that. Bottom line, good PC3200 DDR memory. The
XMS3200LL runs at the advertised specs with very nice timings
and overclocks nicely indeed. What more could you want?
