What Specification are peoples PCs?

[The Tuffen]

Just bought myself a new system that is:

3ghz AMD Athlon 400mhz FSB
1gb DDR Ram 400Mhz
80Gb hard drive

- unfortunatly didn't have money for a new graphics card so still using a 9550 256mb graphics card (although its not that bad for a cheap card)

[ToranagaSama]

Wow my little Athlon 700 seems to be the lowest spec. here!
I see that on some for the higher end machines people are still getting the slowdown of the cursor on the strategy map, I wonder why?

Because they only look "higher end" compared to yours. Most of the people posting have low- to mid-level CPU power coupled with even lower level graphics cards, and their systems appear to be untweaked.

Abit IC7-G
Pentium 2.4c (12x250 1:1)
Thermalright XP-94 (Vantec Tornardo 92mm ~3000rpm)
ATI Radeon 9700 pro (357/343.5)
2x512 MB Corsair XMS 3200XL (2.5-3-3-5)
Addtronics 7890A (modified by www.coolcases.com)
Cornerstone p1700 (21")
Win2000pro SP4

I play at 1600x1200x32 with all graphic settings maxed no issues whatsover, save during experimentation, I noticed very slight slowing with an insane number of units. I plan on upgrading the GPU (depending on how HL2 plays) and changing over to water-cooling at some point (hoping to push the 2.4c up to 3.4 or better).

BTW, how much $US did you pay for that GF Ti 4200???

[Baron Nogood]

Many seem better than my:

PIII 1Ghz
392MB RAM
Geforce III Ti 200 with 128MB
Soundblaster 5.1 Live!

To make up for it I have broadband...which I love.

I bought the motherboard, processor 2400xp, 512 DDR ram and GF Ti 4200 for £150 ( about $290 ). All were second hand, but they all work fine.

[Lord of the morning]

P4 3.0 Ghz
512 DDR RAM
FX5600XT

I have way to little RAM for a machine of otherwise good specs.

[FURRY_BOOTS]

Dell dimension xps gen 3
pentium p4 3.6GHz (hyperthreading)
1024MB DDR2
160GB sata raid drives (raid 0)
ATI Radeon x800 xt
soundblaster audigy 2 24 bit

xp home sp2

bought this machine for hl2, but seem to be playin rome more, hehe

[Clips]

Built my own jusr recently actually. Spec is....

AMD 64 3.6Ghz processor,
1.06GB of Crucial R.A.M.,
60GB Serial ATA Western Digital HardDrive,
MSI Nforce series cant remember quite what but new motherboard,
ATI (hercules) XT8600Pro Graphics card running with PCI Express slot,
Dolby 6.1 Creative Surround sound card,
as for other stuff well cost fair bit for example monitor 19inch Iiyama.

Wouldnt advice to spend the amount i did, your always gonna lose money but runs any game, even Rome on full everything easy enough.

[marcusantonius]

i bet my computer is the lowest
p3 650mhz
128mb ram
and tnt 2 32mb
can play demo fine
real game i bought when i was in the states. I live in the Bahamas u see
the campaign map works fine battle it CTDs

[Mouzafphaerre]

-
I beat you on CPU clockspeed marcusantonius: 550 MHz. OTOH I have 256 M of RAM and it will most hopefully become 384 this week. We're common on TNT2/32M but that is expected to change soon, too.

like Marcusantonius, i tried running with a low end sytem with the same results. I just bought the parts to up it to a piii 1000 with 512 k ram and a chaintech 128 mx4000 vid. I can't wait for the parts to come in from ebay so I can get it up and running. I even spent the day at a friends house and played all day, but I had to put up with the slow cursor thing because her system had a geforec mx 44o vid, which I think is only geforce 2. It seems to me that the slow cursor bit is a function of the vid card.

An MX440 is the most common graphics card according to steam so don't worry.
