Re: Computers
What kinds of systems do you guys and gals play SE on? Tell us what you use, CPU type and speed, chip set, and ram? What OS do you run and did you build it or buy it?
Hmmm....since we are dredging up the dark ages, the first PC I loaded SE3 on was my first system -- Cyrix 200 mhz MMX (yes, CYRIX) , 64(later 96) mb EDO ram, 3.2 gb WD disk, 4 mb video card with W95 (later 98) OS, bought from vendor but did upgrading/reconfiguration myself (lost HD 2-3 months after purchase, so had to reload everything from scratch). Still running to this day, almost original config, Mom uses it today for email and word processing.
If I recall correctly, it ran SE4 briefly until I built my next (& still current) system.
Athlon 650 (clocked 110%), Epox EP-7KXA system board, 128 mb PC133 SDRAM (now 384) 20 GB ATA66 WD disk, 4x AGP 32mb nVidia TNT2 M64 video, running W98SE with (now) DVD-RW.
When I originally built it (early 00?), the best CPU you could get was 800 mhz and I was real proud of putting it together for under $800.
Recently got a 1.8 ghz, 512 RDram, 20 gb disk (XP)
at work, first time ever I can say my work system is better than one at home. That may have to change real soon...
EDIT: I recently saw a pic of a system that had a dead snake in it. Woman smelled something burning and sent it in for repair.
