StarSeekerVDS Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm curious how many people are playing on older rigs versus newer rigs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numiah2 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Striker Extreme Mobo (rather outdated these days) Quad core Q6600 (outdated too) 2 x Asus 8800 GTX in SLI (quite good) X-fi Fatality (good too) 4 GB Kingston (could be faster) 2 74 Mb Raptors in RAID-0 (outdated too, but still fast as lightning) Zalmann heatpiped 1000W supply (she rocks) 1 Terabyte WD (one of a zillion) Coolance watercooling (still does the trick) Fully Transparent casing Relatively current.

Daywolf Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Oh I played with a 1ghz amd and ati 9000 agp. Now I run a slightly outdated 64bit 3200+ with a 512MB VRAM Radeon 8400 pci-e. Wont run the latest shooters unless I drop in a faster CPU, but it runs like Oblivion at 100% though with that costly animated grass off. Runs all the games I want to play and does very well with my 3D graphics apps like trueSpace etc. I would have already gotten something newer, but no thanks to the economy and job market. Cant get a politician that is job friendly Well, maybe they'll start an entitlement program for handing out new computers meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virpyre Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have the same PC with modified tweaks on ram, graphics card, hd, and cpu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell [BT] Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 One of each. Have a new PC I bought about a year ago, that I primarily play on, but I also still have my old PC from EnB Live (got it in 04 after my previous PC broke), and use it for whenever I want to use my Mule char to do transfers.

Whitelighter Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Running a fairly new comp (C2Quad, 2xNvivida 260(1mb) in Sli, 4 gig ddr3, and such) but I also found (a few days ago actually) my old laptop that I used to play E&B on business trips, sadly it seems to have died sometime over the last ~4 yrs.

Toreava Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 but I also found (a few days ago actually) my old laptop that I used to play E&B on business trips, sadly it seems to have died sometime over the last ~4 yrs. I think if I hadn't turned my 2002 machine on to play enb, it'd be dead by now. Also had this happen with a '98 machine. Worked fine when I shut it off and was dying when I turned it on to tornado the files over to my 2002 machine. And that was when I got this one in 2007. I'll be turning my 2002 on more often now that I get the feeling they die of loneliness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numiah2 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Update : Yesterday I posted my stats, only to find my computer dead as a whistle today. Either the PSU or Mobo gave up. (fans spin for 1 sec, then she dies) Tomorrow to the shop hoping to get the PSU checked and buy a replacement. If mobo failed I am doomed. New mobo = new CPU = new mem = new water cooler. I could get a 775 replacement, but heck, I better do things good. I've been lurking at an i7 and a P55 Gigabyte. Affordable, but still not bad.

StarSeekerVDS Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Speaking as someone who's had terrible luck with PSUs, your problem doesn't sound like PSU... generally when those die they die hard and nothing will so much as twitch. I could be wrong though. But it could be mobo, RAM, or CPU... and if it was any one of these, the others could possibly be salvaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numiah2 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 To stay off topic and get on again : Yeah, chances are slim it will be the PSU. I hope it is tho, lol. So now I grabbed my old Toshiba satellite laptop to run E&B. Guess what, she runs ! Speaking of ancient hehe. However, wish me luck tomorrow. Especially wish my bankaccount luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossdie [BT] Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have both an updated as of last year machine and my original machine that ran enb back in 2002-2004 and still playing to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garblesoup Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (Relatively) modern PC: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R mobo Intel Q9400 ATI Radeon HD2900 vidcard (waiting on delivery of HD5850) running an OLD OS, Windows XP SP3. Maximum compatibility ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numiah2 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Ughh, turned out the PSU failed. Not bad you'd say. But... it decided to take the mobo with it when it died. *ZAPP* all dead. So, bought today the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 and an i7 920. 4Gb of fresh corsair ram at 2000. New Corsair 1000W PSU. Shame I lost all data on the RAID-0 because of the other controller. Lucky for me I store data on a separate drive. XP sp3 (Jarod is absolutely right!) is installing as we speak. After antiviral and primary software, E&B will be the 1st thing I slap on this sucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSeekerVDS Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yet it still supplied power to run the fan temporarily? How bizarre. *revises mental troubleshooting algorithms* Sorry things went ill. I know the feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garblesoup Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 So, bought today the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 and an i7 920. 4Gb of fresh corsair ram at 2000. New Corsair 1000W PSU. Nice rig! Sorry about the loss but that's a nice end-state you find yourself in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSeekerVDS Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 1000W power supplies... what is the world coming to? Of course my CPU itself runs at 140W... *sighs* A 550W power supply will do me for awhile I hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywolf Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Toaster oven. I use a 400w and would like to see better efficiency to run under 200w in the future. Weeee earthquake... anyhoot... seems like better development of newer systems would be shooting for not only performance but low power consumption as well.
