Ok, I thought it would be cool if we all explained the specs of our computers, im sure there are some who dont know what they are, but im also sure there are those of you who want to show off, so tell all.
Im not asking for pictures of your computer but I suppose that would be alright. Ok, ill go first. Its not the best, but its not the worst.. Intel 2.8Gig with HT 512meg of RAM in dual channel running at 400mhz 80gig HDD (7200rpm) LG Super Multi DVD Burner Sony 16x DVD rom RADEON 9800Pro (128meg) Winfast TV200 Expert edition (TV card) I cant think of the name of the motherboard, so ill post that later. |

Intel pentium III 733 mHz
128 MB RAM HD1: 20 GB (windows, don't use it though ) HD2: 40 GB, only gives 32 GB though (jumper for 32GB clip is off or should I have that on to make it 40GB?) - Debian Linux SID on kernel 2.6.8.1. 52x CDROM 10x4x32 CD-burner NVIDIA RIVA TNT 32 MB video card ASUS AX-34 motherboard with: Quote:
Rock solid and fast enough for my needs. But I wait with upgrading. It runs NWN pretty good in sp. Haven't tried mp yet but I guess it'll be bad cause I'll have less fps in fights. Still have to get BG to work but first I have to wait till NWN linux client is downloaded, 900 MB to go |

I think your RAM and Graphics card are whats lacking, but if your graphics card was upgraded, you would surely be able to play NWN smoothly.

Due to an error I couldn't post this ^ and in the meantime I looked and found a gforce fx 5200 magic for $58 and a gforce fx 5200 for $73 and gforce fx 5500T for $70 or gforce5200TD for $73. Brands are ASUS, MSI and XFX. All have 128 MB cause 256 MB wasn't really good then yet isn't it? I've been looking on tom's hardware and it looks that in shooters 5200s are pretty fast but these games are made to be light on graphics. The other games the 5200s run around 30 fps which is some improvement on the 5-10 I'm getting now. However they have hardware that supports them to the max while I only have 4x AGP (reverse compatible aren't they?) so could these be worth buying? |

Also I found that upgrading my RAM is only $27 but with video card above and this I'll still have below required CPU. Will it still be worth to do. Like if it's going to 20-30 fps I think playing online becomes really possible isn't it?

Intel Pentium 4, 3.0Ghz processor.
1GB RAM. 120GB HDD. CD Rom + CD Rewriter + DVD Rom + DVD Rewriter (All combined... somehow... don't know their speeds though) Radeon 9600SE 128MB I forgot how big my monitor is... it's a flatscreen LCD though. Strange... Even with a Radeon 9600, I still have to set my Call of Duty preferences relatively low so that it does not freeze... I'm thinking of upgrading to some sort of GForce, as these seem to be popular and reliable. |
