    Re: Doom 3 on Vista

    Its an audio driver. It must be needed to run it.

    OpenAL is free anyway so if you wanted to run EAX i guess you just have to download it. I played through it withought. OpenAL is fine though, only ever come across it on 3dMark's

    Re: Doom 3 on Vista

    I wouldnt really be able to advise you on that tbh, ive never had an expensive sound card so cant really comment on any difference it would make. but i can tell you that it will run fine, i have ran it in x64 vista.
