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.

I am guessing that it might look like this, with dual cpu motherboards.   :D

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.

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.

This is mine .

Try changing the memory clock to 800 MHz (1600 MHz) in the BIOS.
