ed_ Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Some time ago we talked about who is playing on the computer.It turns out that many have quite old hardware like me ... I am eager to find out how it is for most of you? You can select several answers if you own several computers that you play in ET. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader RedBaird Posted July 21, 2017 Leader Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) 1 +10 year old Supermicro 3U (1TB of memory and 32 xenon processor's) I am guessing that it might look like this, with dual cpu motherboards. Edited July 21, 2017 by RedBaird change 2 to dual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have two laptops that I play on, one is an Acer-cloud book and the other is an HP 15". both are two years old. The best part is I play them hooked up to a 32" Flat Screen. Noting fancy about the laptops just standard Wal-Mart stock. Cheap Cheap Cheap...

Well youre not far off, only in stead off swappable drives it has 8 swappable blades. each containing 4 processor's and 128 GB of memory. Rackable and Supermicro named it a superserver 10 / 15 years ago. Nowadays, I think if you cluster 10 Sony play-stations you get way better performance. Some collect old comic books , I collect old computers and make them operate. Btw. I ran ET on almost all my sytems except the O2. BSD can handle most old SGI stuff, and then you have a well build very beautiful computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaBeLo Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I think i have the worse PC here win 7 and only 3gb ram and some nub integrated graphic card 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniky Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Build mine around 3 years ago, only thing i realized was that apparently 8GB of ram is nowhere near enough for the casual gaming of newish games, so gonna order prolly next month another 8GB.
