It only cost me 670 quid, and that's with top-of the-range mouse and headset. And an aftermarket fan. minus all that, and it comes to about 550, which is very good indeed.

ebuyer.com. excellent site.

Hax- basically, i configure it for window mode and start it up, and everything's fine to begin with. But then if I use alt/tab to access anything else when I try and go back to the game the window of whatever I was doing before stays there, effectively EB disappears and says it's not responding. Very weird I know

Is anti-aliasing on?

**teh1337tim** · 08-22-2008, 01:23

turn of all non essential
such as anti alliasing
vertical sync (only craps ur fps)
shadows (same , effs ur fps)

tell ur comp specs

CPU
Memory
GFX
PSU

hmmm... I think RTW is not compatible to dual/quad CPU's

IMHO a Quadcore with 2,4GHz is weaker than a single core with 3,xGHz (for Rome)

running EB stable is just a question of your RAM, >2GB should be enough

OffTopic: Does anyone know if ETW will be dualcore-compatibel?

Eh? If something is compatible with 'monocore' processors than so it is with 'dualcore', 'tri(ple)core', 'quadcore', or 'eikosicore' w./ever-core. There's no such thing as being incompatible unless we're talking about assembly instruction sets. Whole different can.

But since RTW only runs 2 processes you're not going to notice much (specifically because one process only runs when the other does not) in the way of speed boosts by 'upping your cores'. All things being equal EB should run about just as well on a 2.4Ghz moncore as it does on a 2.4Ghz quadcore because of the fact RTW wasn't designed to be multithreaded. Indeed if it were, then back in 2004 most of the (or even some top of the line) PC's would have been incompatible (not to mention the developer ones); Pentium IV's were still on the market. <_<

I run EB in windowed mode all the time, no problems. Perhaps you should check your Windows event log to see what happened the next time it crashes. Possibly you'll see something concerning the video drivers there.

Tellos: I think he means able to use more than one CPU.
