What's your setup?
Hello
I'm thinking in the lines of buying a new computer and I would like to know what kind of setups you use? I think this could be of great use to many people.
The info that's interesting is:
Number of items.
Number of mobiles.
Average number of players.
-----------------------------------------
Motherboard - The modelnumber.
Processor - Speed and specs.
Memory - Speed and amount.
HD - Speed, type and size (not that size really matters)
Connection - Type and bandwidth (up/down, preferably in bits). I know this one is not that important when deciding on what computer to buy, but what the heck.
Graphics card, sound and so on is not included for obvious reasons.
-----------------------------------------
I'll start off with my planned specs.
Motherboard - Probably a fairly inexpensive socket 478 board. Possibly a MSI 865PE NEO2, maybe a better one, but I think this one would cover my needs.
Processor - P4, 3GHz, 800Mhz bus, 1MB cache, (Prescott).
Memory - 2x 512MB, PC3200, 400MHz (Using 512 sticks so that I'll be able to upgrade if needed.
HD - 2x 120GB, SATA, 8MB cache, 7200RPM.
Connection - Fiberoptic 10Mb up/down.
Theres a slight chance I might go with a 64bit platform, probably an AMD if I do, but right now I dont think it's worth it, but it might be worth it if you think about the differance once MS releases a new OS.
Anyways, tell me what you got! And feel free to comment on my system, would you do anything differently?
Edit: I forgot maybe the most important question, is your system keeping up with the amount of players and items in the world?
