Subject: RE: [eqbards] SoL


Yeah, I'm quite disappointed that their specs don't seem to be very
accurate. I thought my machine was fairly high end, the weakest link (if
you can call it that), being my GeForce 256 DDR video card.

I did turn off TnL during the testing last week...maybe now, with the "live"
EQ dll, I need to turn it back on?

Like I said, initial impression is distressing, however I have not ruled out
that I need to further tweak and experiment.

Don't do it Jeff, heh. My friend here has a 1.5ghz, 256 megs of ram and
64mb Gforce2 card. He cant turn on all the new models and animations or EQ
wont load. Kind of sucks, you would think a computer like that would be
enough but its not if you want to see everything. Luckily I bought the same
computer Jeff did hopefully it will work.

If their specs are accurate, you should have no trouble whatsoever with that
setup.

If you do, please send me your GeForce2, and half your RAM, and I'll be glad
to evaluate further. :)

Ok, thanks a lot.

btw, I am running a brand new PC ( 1.7 P4, 512 RAM, 80 gig HD, GeForce 2
with 64mb ) with Windows XP, so Windows 95 is not the problem, I just need
the DirectX 8.1 and I should be good to go. With the above system of mine, I
wonder how much lag I'll have with SoL. Anyone have any other experiences
they would like to share? Will I be able to turn everything on and be able
to play?

Anyone else here run Windows XP? I was wondering if anyone else knew that
you can be running EQ and tab out of EQ and get to your desktop, check your
email or browse the web. We were killing WW dragons this past weekend and
Teenimu and I were tabbing out of EQ and checking that great web site that
lists all the WW dragons. The site lists what the dragon level, drops, if it
complete heals, what resists are needed cold, fire and magic. This can in
handy on which dragons to pull.

There is no more support of Windows 95 or DirectX 8.0.

You will need to download and install DirectX 8.1
