Subject: [eqbards] Survey - System standards and Performance<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
To keep this whole concept on topic, I&#39;d like to start a survey of system <br/>
specs vs. apparent performance.<br/>
Just fill in the blanks and let&#39;s share what works and what doesn&#39;t!<br/>
<br/>
Computer Specs for Bards<br/>
<br/>
CPU: P3 550 overclocked to 650 or 866. (866 in winter, 650 in summer until I<br/>
get a new case for more cooling)<br/>
RAM: 512 mb<br/>
Video Card (and RAM): GeForce DDR w/ 32 mb<br/>
Video Resolution: 640 x 480 or 1024 x 768 (depends on my mood)<br/>
Sound Card: ESS 1868 (need to upgrade this big time)<br/>
HD speed (rpm): 7200 rpm<br/>
Net speed: DSL, 768 up and down<br/>
Geographic Location: NY, NY<br/>
Options enabled or disabled:<br/>
       Sky texturing: Double Layer<br/>
       Particle Effects: High<br/>
       Mip Mapping: Not available<br/>
Clip plane distance: Max<br/>
<br/>
How many songs can you twist? 3 - 4 in the Old World<br/>
Do you slow down when it rains? No<br/>
How about in Unrest or Kunark? 2 - 3. Lately lag has been a major factor<br/>
I&#39;ve been regularly seeing pings of 2000+ (while showing 0% at the same<br/>
time) When my ping is under 500 I can do 3 and 1/2 in Kunark.<br/>
