question for you guys/gals using one computer

[Ashley]

Reading these forums sometimes depresses me. My currently PC is an older setup too. Im glad to see someone else other than me, is using the max potential of older equipment. I thought (3) video cards was the way to go. It may still be, but for my system, it didnt give me as much as Id have liked. (4)GB DDR2 (800) RAM, on a dual core 2.4. (5) boxing just fine on low on everything, minus the main client on medium.

Been seriously considering upgrading the MoBo and RAM to an i7 and DDR3 system.

Given im playing now... Im having a hard time justifying the cost.

I've just upgraded mine to a brand new i7 system with decent graphics, and seriously, it's so amazing.

LOL! ugh, dont tell me that LOL
Now im going to go spend money on new stuff.

I did get the MoBo upgrade, DDR3 RAM now, and i3 560 processor, and necked down to one 240GT vid card.

Can I ask, have you attempted a major city visit with more than 3 toons at the same time?

You mean like with 10 hunters? The frame rate dips are due to Fraps hitting the 4gb video limit.

NO FRAME DIPS HERE! ^_^



I really just like giving Ashely shit about that since I made this video for him yesterday showing that I don't get
the same frame dip issue. When the big FILE CHANGE words come up on the screen is when FRAPS was
creating a new file while recording. True 10 boxers have established that a major city test is barely enough if
you're planning on doing PvP or raiding. This was a lame test as it was recorded at 3AM and the city is dead
although I am confident that this machine could handle 10 in a PvP-heavy situation.
