Poll: The specs of your Gaiming System

[washe]

Okay pals, I read some reviews of some games and systems specs are being stepping very high last months, so I had this idea of a poll of gaiming specs:

Mine are:
Pentium III 800 MHZ EB
Asus P3V4X mobo
128 MB RAM PC133
3DFX Voodoo 5500
Creative Labs Soundblaster Value
Cambridge Soundworks FPS1000
21" Nec Multisync E1100+
20 Gig Maxtor Drive
Logitech Mouseman+ PS/2
some cheap 101 Keyboard
and Ethernet Card
and Cable for internet play!!!

A Question: My bottleneck is my video card, right? That will be the next thing I plan to upgrade (Will be about half a year though I've spent enough $$$ and time on this thing as is)

[This message has been edited by Ruahrc (edited 01-25-2001).]

[FrozenLiquidity]

Yeah Ruahrc I hate crappy phone lines too, they are also preventing ME from getting DSL, so I have 3 computers ATTEMPTING TO SHARE a 33.6 CONNECTION! Life sux.

Hehe Nighthawk, there are more P3V4X's where that one came from!

FrozenLiquidity

[RobRich]

Don't feel left out, as I have an entire home LAN (sometimes upto 10 systems) connecting over a single 56K connection (usually 49,333)! However, adding a proxy server with 1 GB of cache storage helped considerably.

Robert Richmond

[prexaspes]

I moved away from a girl who now owns my "old" machine and my "new" rig is a:

200mmx
DTK PAM-some numbers and letters MB
16mb 60ns SIMM ram (will get DIMMS)
10 gig Diamond Max Hard Drive
16x BTC CD-ROM
Opti-junk 16 bit Sound
2mb Jaton Video card
Logitech USB Optical Wheelmouse
Cut up and Duct Taped Keyboard
13 inch Monitor
33.6 Modem
Windows 98


Hey, at least it plays Classic Quake
It even has a honkin' 75 mhz bus
Anyone wanna buy it? Reel Cheep...

[araaraara]

prexaspecs, you sound like me, A FEW MONTHS AGO! That god awful winchip 233 was probably worse than your 200mmx! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

AMD K6-3+ 450mhz@550mhz http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif
Asus P5A-B
Voodoo3 2000pci@181mhz
64mb pc100 sdram (soon to be 128)
Quantum Fireball 1.2gig PIO4 (6+years old)
Quantum Bigfoot 4.0gig DMA2 (2+years old)
SoundBlaster 32AWE
cheap 36x CDROM
MAG Innovision DX1595 15"
Microsoft Sidewinder 3D PRO
Thrustmaster T2 Racing wheel + pedals

This may not be a 100+ fps system, but it works fine for me and my budget! It works flies through older games (C&C Red Alert) and works fine for Roller Coaster Tycoon and Red Alert 2. It also works pretty well with MTM2 and Nascar2001.

[rowan]

Thought I would weigh in:

Athlon T-Bird 1 GHz
MSI K7T Pro 2a (this mobo is GREAT!!)
30 gig IBM Deskstar
128 PC133 RAM
Asus V7700 GeForce2 GTS 32 MB DDR
Creative soundblaster Live! Value
Windows ME

Lesser system networked to the big one above (it's a Compack! but it does a fine job):

AMD K6 450 MHz
Voodoo 3 2000 16 MB
96 MB RAM
Aureal Soundcard
7 gig HD

The network is routed to a cable connection (roadrunner!), using a Linksys 4port. The brand name box is a bit slow, but actually does fine with most of the older games and is VERY stable. Still working out the kinks with the Athlon machine, but the Asus vid card and MSI mobo are truly great.

Cheers!

[Ruahrc]

What a koinkydink the phone company's all over my neighborhood tearing things up and going into people's yards for their tele-boxes. I heard rumors that they are laying fiber optics down and improving the phone lines too. There may be DSL yet... mmmmmmmmm http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

P.S. I've got 256MB RAM now, and I see quite a difference in games like D2 where my hard drive used to thrash it is now silent.

[bwkaz]

Oh, let's see here:

PIII 800EB
256MB PC133 3-3-3 ( http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif ) memory
Intel D815EEA mobo, "customized" by Dell (i.e. they reprogrammed the BIOS so I can't speed ANYTHING up, no overclock, no CAS latency, no nothing, boo hiss)
20GB UATA-100 7200RPM HD, 2 partitions, Linux on the 4GB and Win98SE on the rest
3dfx Voodoo3 3000 w/ TV-Out (The system came with a Geforce2 DDR GTS, but the games I had at the time looked crappy in D3D mode, much better in Glide. But I may go back to the GTS someday soon)
DirectX 8, with no video driver WHQL certification (and none likely to come either, since 3dfx is dead. A moment of silence for the deceased, if you would.....)
17-inch monitor
Soundwave 128 sound card based on a Yamaha DS-XG chip (decent, but not the best)
8x4x32 CD-RW
An old but working 1.44MB floppy
MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro (mmmm...... force feedback........)
Generic speakers
MS Intellimouse, considering a Logitech USB optical
3Com 3C905 10/100 network card, and a T3 connection to the rest of the world (I love the dorms.... even if it does get slow during peak hours......)

Games installed as of right now:
Half-Life, with the Counterstrike mod
Unreal Tournament
C&C: Tiberian Sun
Descent 3 Demo
Need for Speed III, Hot Pursuit (nice with the FF Pro, also one of the "looks better in Glide" games)
Jane's Fighters Anthology (nice with the force feedback, too)
F22 Lightning II
Wing Commander: Prophecy (the other of the "looks better in Glide" games)
Descent 2 Demo
Descent 1 Demo
<A HREF="http://www.classicgaming.com/scorch/" TARGET=_blank>Scorched Earth</A> (this game is AWESOME, DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!!)
Doom shareware
Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold shareware
Wolfenstein 3D shareware (wow, these are getting OLD)
Crystal Caves
Commander Keen 1-6 (now these are getting ancient...)

And the best game of all time, first played when I was about eight on our Osborne Executive (now THAT was a gaming machine -- text-only, 7.5-inch monochrome display, no PC speaker, let alone a sound card, 64KB memory, no hard drive, what's a CD?, wow), and ported to the PC:
Adventure.

I think I'm having much more fun than I ever should....... I'll stop now.....

Hey! before you read these specs consider that I have no money! Also GLide is miles faster than Direct3D and I don't just play games, I also mess around with music programs.

PII 233 @ 240 (soon to be 400)
(dont know mobo, chipset is i440LX)
512kb L2 Cache (why does no one mention this, it is a major factor)
128mb 66Mhz RAM
Matrox Millenium (old 2mb)
2x 8mb Voodoo2 SLI (ha ha I have GLide API)
13Gb Western Digital HDD
Soundblaster 16 (old, soon to be SoundBlaster Live! Player)
Microsoft Home Mouse
Some cheap keyboard

This system may not sound much but it does Quake III, Deus Ex and more. OK they may be a tiny winy bit of jerkyness but it plays surprisingly well. I keep putting down to the much superiority of the GLide API over the crappy Direct3D.

EVERYBODY GET A VOODOO SO YOU CAN HAVE GLIDE!!!!!!!!!!!
