Subject: RE: [eqbards] Survey - System standards and Performance


Well.. Ive finally decided to respond to this thread.
I think Im in close competition with Ms. Webber for
worst system.

so much in Unrest... Almost totally unplayable with my
bard in Kunark, ok for other characters

My other systems. I play which ever depending on what
my husband is playing, if we have a friend over
playing, which char Im playing, etc.

ok. sometimes, but is not video lag

And the last one which is actually my husband's cptr,
but I use it when he needs the Athalon for his
enchanter.

Athalon yes.

much better than my laptop, worse than the athelon

The basic rules go like this, If I want to play
Harmonie in Kunark, my husband does not get the
athelon. If he is playing his enchanter in Kunark I
dont get the athelon... The enchanterr and bard havent
grouped in awhile :) If we both want to play these
characters in Kunark... well thats what paper,
scissors rock is for :) The laptop doesnt see a lot
of use anymore, except when DSL is down or we are
playing all three accounts simaltaneously. And we
have done that in Kunark even. Wiz on the slow
machine(Wiz doesnt have to change targets much),
cleric on the 400, ranger on the 800 usually.
