I was just wondering how powerful the computers that you guys own/play soldat on are. I play soldat on my moms old win98 with a celeron 500mhz and 128 mb of ram, but I'm about to get a new one (not for the internet) with an athlon XP 2800+, 512 mb of ram, and a radeon 9800 pro 128mb. It's coming in a few days :D

win xp, celeron 666mhz, 320mb RAM, TNT2 32mb

one advice muzz, dont buy comps right off the line. Wait half a year, and buy it half price

win ME, p3 800mhz, 320mb RAM, Geforce2 MX 32 mb DDR

Windows Xp with Pentium 4 1700 mhz with 56 kb 256 mb ram ATI Radeon 9000 Pro.
Now i will upgrade for some time to Athlon +2800 also win xp and ISDN modem. I am not changing my graphic card. Its great. I luv it.

ahah mines a 2000+ ghz Amd Athlon XP With Windows XP and 64 megabyte Geforce 2 Ti muahahahah

pentium4 1700mhz, 128mb ram memory, nvidia riva32mb videocard ,winxp
the memory fuks me bad ;/

High 5's to all of you using an AMD processor...they're soooo much better than anything Intel throws up. :)

AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (like 1.6 ghz), 768 MB RAM, ATI Radeon 7500 64 MB card, Windows XP Home, a DVD drive and a 50X CD-RW drive. Obviously, some parts have been souped up, while others are a bit older...the comp just celebrated its one year birthday a month ago.

Enjoy

it is ridiculous to have a 1700 mhz processor and 128 mb of RAM

Intel Celeron 633mhz 128 RAM on Win ME with Intel 810i Graphics Chipset and 56K Modem. Pretty pants but it gets the job done, at 75 fps with all options turned up!

Pentium 4. 3.6 Ghz (yea)
GeForce 4 TI.
512 Ram.
Windows XP home edition.
Adsl 1.5mbit modem.
and um yah ;P

Duron 650,192 RAM, ecs mainboard (it suX:/), Riva TNT Pro 32, LG Flatron 775ft (so proud of it [^])

give me your computer SK..NOW

Superkill, how had you got 3.6 GHz chip? Do you work in Intel?
Or you had just overcloked it?

thats a secret.
all i can say is i'm related to some people ;P

yeah right its either OCd or its 3.06 ghz

BMF: I actually have waited for a while for this computer. I'm only paying $1880 for it, with shipping and speakers included. i'm buying from a good nice small company called Gmachines (http://gmachines.com).

When it gets that fast, do you even notice a difference? I see no difference between my computer (1.6 ghz) and my dad's computer (2.4 ghz)...so, do you see a difference in your computer and someone else with a fast computer you know?

It's like comparing two Major League pitchers that can throw a baseball over 150 mph...one gets it going 150, the other 156...I guess those 6 mph's make a bit of a difference, but the batter still has 1/4 of a second to react to the pitch.

Enjoy

this is my "play" computer:

2.4 ghz celeron (overclocked)
ati radeon 7500 64mb sdram with tv out
3 seagate 120 gb 7200 rpm hard drives (i collect movies)
40x/16x/48x cdrw
dvd player
pc-2100 266mhz 512mb ddr memory

and a kds x flat 21 inch monitor

to enjoy...
the 1800 benches at 1.53 ghz, so you were very close. however, if you're the adventurous type, you can easily overclock it to around 1.7 ghz. just need to change a couple of bios settings (if you have a good motherboard that will support it) and stack another fan on top to keep it extra cool.

and while you're right about not "seeing" very much difference between a 1.6 and a 2.4, trust me, when microsoft sends out another bloatware application of windows, then you'll see a major difference. plus, right now, game manufacturers pretty much build around the 750mhz to 1.0 ghz range, but just like everything else in the comp world, things will change, and when they do you'll be glad to have something bigger to handle it all.

and i mostly do agree about amd having better processors. the only thing that amd really falls behind intel is in the mhx department. amd could use some real improvement there. and the fact that they run about 20 degrees cooler than intel's does make them a better choice. amd is what i normally run, but this last time i put a system togther i actually got a celeron chip at half the price of an amd, so i switched for a while and (so far) haven't been disappointed.

I play Soldat on a ZX Spectrum 48K, with a Kempston Joystick, on a black and white tv set I have. ;)

lol ony :)

Mine is this...

AMD Athalon (Barton) 2600+ (2140MHz)
MSI K7N2 Delta Motherboard
ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128MB AGP8x (PowerColor)
512MB DDR400 running 128bit dual channel
Twin 60GB HDDs (not RAID)
Creative Sound Blaster Live!

And enjoy - "When it gets that fast, do you even notice a difference? I see no difference between my computer (1.6 ghz) and my dad's computer (2.4 ghz)...so, do you see a difference in your computer and someone else with a fast computer you know?"

The reason for this (lol) is because the 2.4GHz is a Pentium 4 and they suck ass :P

Seriously... :)

AMD Athlon XP 3000
512 MB RAM
GeForce4 Ti 4600 128MB
120 GB HD x 1 (OS, games, programs, etc)
60 GB HD x 2 (MP3s, Video, porn, etc)

I couldnt find a picture of the exact case, but it looks kinda like this one but with a simpler front and the window is smaller. http://www.tigerdirect.com/images/SKUimages/medium/blue.jpg

Hey what is better.
AMD Athlon or Intel Pentium?

my personal preference is amd. amd processors tend to run about 20 degrees cooler than intel's, and they're quite a bit cheaper.

intel's mhx architecture is hands down the best, but other than that, intel really doesn't have anything on amd.

I do not really know if AMD is better than Intel (obviously taking the cost into account AMD is much better), what I know is that Celeron and Duron suck.
The better is to wait a little more and buy an Athlon 64 once they have a good motherboard and stability... or wait till it is launched to buy a classic athlon xp very cheap.
Btw the best one is my K6-III 400,256 Mb, Voodoo 3 3000 ;)

EI - it doesnt make your comp go faster (i think u know that) but it for example the 3.6 Ghz chip was designed to make the comp run smooth even while its burning cd's (that works) ;P

and yea muzzstah, its 3600 Mhz which means 3.6 Ghz not 3.06
they didnt make 3.06 ghz yet
3.6 > 3.06

SH1T! how did you get that cpu? and yeah they did make a 3.06 ghz cpu maybe not for the israelis though :P

not for the israelies ?
little piece of info:
intel lab in ISRAEL developed it. (yes by israeli people)

ooohhhhh thats cool i didnt know sorry :)

And AMD is heaps better than Intel.. just because :P

2600 AMD
512 RAM
55 gig harddrive
Geforce4 MX 440SE 64 meg video card

'T'ain't bad.

i got a:
256 RaM
AMD 2200
a hole 40gb hardrive
[:-censored]y video card im fixin to get a ram up garde and video card upgrade

OMG I GOT MY NEW COMP LIKE 5 DAYS AGO AND IVE BEEN PLAYING/FOOLING WITH IT EVER SINCE
I CAN RUN SPLINTER CELL AT 1024.1280 ALL SETTINGS MAXED AND IT RUNS SMOOTHE AS BUTTA
its an athlon XP Barton 2800+ with 512 megs o ram and a 128mb radeon 9800 PRO, with an 80 gig HD ITS TEH |33t

Yea, go teh 9800 pro!! :)

I run homeworld 2 demo at 1600 x 1200 with 4x anti-aliasing :)

wow nc, thats how good it is?! DAMN! my monitor dont go up to 1200.1600. One way to slow that wonderful computer down to a chug is to run 3dmark03 at 1024.768 with 6x AA, anisotropic texture filtering. you think, DAMN! why does this run so goddamn slow?!

Gigabyte GA-7ZXE
Duron 1300
256SD 133Mhz PQI
GF2-MX400 64MB
80G WD 7200rpm
SB Live!
24x Sony CD-ROM

all my wealth... :[

Actually the best way to see how slow your computer can run is by playing M's Tankwar game ^_^

where do i get it?!?!

Look in M's "Tank Wars Released" Topic in this forum. . . . LOL , It has memory problems. But so does every game made with Gamemaker. . .

ok ill try it in a little bit

The puter im on is er.... AMD 700, TNT2... piece of crap
The puter in my room is P4 2.8, 1gig ram, 9700 pro... 19" monitor...
I really need 2 get around to networking the house so i can actually use it. It runs Doom 3 alpha so im hopeful that i should be sweet for the full version.
:)

everyone here who owns an amd athlon XP that doesnt restart by it self is lucky, coz for some GAY [:-censored]ed reason, my amd athlon XP 2000+ 256Mb ram, with a GeForce 2 Ti, seems to just [:-censored] up, and restart by it self, and it frezzes loads, its pissign me of, and i cant take it anymore, does anyone know why? my computer is hella noisy, its just like a vaccum cleaner, (u should see the size of its fan) does myc omputer restart by it self and freeze a lot because of the ammount of ram i have?

dsn 1.3gh sis graphics card and some other stuff
128mb ram 20gig hard drive... Mouse, keybourd (Did you relise that allready) and... A MONITOR (15 inch 32bit)

Eyic, does it happens with your computer after formatting it, had you downloaded the fix to blaster worm?
The RAM is no problem... unless you have different types of RAM inserted or it is incompatible. Check that the motherboard is compatible with everything you has and maybe try changing it for one that it is good, for example Asus A7N8X.The motherboard is the most imporatnt of a computer. It does not matter what else you have, ussually a motherboard of less than 80 $ will make you r computer sux.

Yup, mobo is very important :)

And thus I got an MSI K7N2 Delta nForce 2 Ultra 400

rox :P

yeah same as palloco, got an A7N8X mobo DELUXE baby yeah :P
there is a large number of things you can do to fixxorz yu0r suxX0rz pC eyic:
1. a question: has your motherboard/processor ever been OC'd? (overclocked) cuz if it has, then you just need to get a new processor or mobo or both. I reccomend, as palloco and NC said, some variable of the nforce 2 chipset, my Asus one is nice, and comes with some leet software and integrated ethernet/networking ports/serial IDE RAID shizzo. its cool. price $125 american (dont know what the hell you australian ppl use =P)
2. Just get a/some new case/CPU fan(s). The Vantec Stealth models are supposed to be quiet, and I think they come in all different sizes. price 9-18 US$, varying with size
3. get a new CPU. the athlon XP models vary quite a bit in price, and I *think* that most if not all are compatible with the Z7N8X.


maybe that helped :D
