The Tension!!!

[Shiver]

There's one thing I'm not sure about, and when I say this I'm judging that SOE are handling the SWG and PS betas in the same way (the application forms were almost identical ).

They clearly intend on making that application form stand for the duration of beta. I'm predicting that much of the optimizing won't have been done yet and they won't even be able to allow too many people who just meet the system requirements until they are sure that it can be run properly on those specs. I wonder if beta will start off "top heavy", with the more speedy systems.

Its a shame that we don't know exactly where the game is in development, if the game already runs well on those specs ... then there'll be more low end users in exclusive beta than 3dmark chasers

I doubt it will go down much, course there will be some optimising beteween beta, and gold release. But i suspect there will not be much of a decrese.

People who miss the upgrade bus will not be able to play

True, no one should be missing the upgrade bus.

Remember though, you don't have to catch the biggest and most expensive bus around though, unlike some How speedy do you need it to be, Hamma? :drool:

My computer.

512 Pc800 RDRAM
128 MB DDR Nvida GEForce4 ti 4600

I dont think ill have a problem ... could use more Ram but RDram is soo expensive..

I'm about to scrap my 1.4 ghz P4 for something faster and when I do I'll have an extra 640 megs of PC800 ram, maybe I'll send you some.

Infact, I have an extra stick of 256mg PC800 ram that you can have if you want to go out and get yourself a matching stick since they have to be used in pairs.

How did you get it up to 640... do you have more than 4 slots... im using (4) 128 sticks..

[Unregistered]

Nope, just 4 slots.

64 x 64 =128

256 x 256 = 512

for a total of 640.

[CoolAid]

ohhh. so i could go 128 + 128 and 256+256...

I thought they all had to be the same ...

good to know.

Just so long as the pairs are the same, you can mix and match them. That's how I ended up with an extra stick of Ram. I got 512, and they gave me one stick of ECC, and one of Non ECC so it I took both sticks back to make sure I got they gave me the right (ECC) ram.

When I got home all 3 were in the bag, so I went back to the store a few days later to give them the Non ECC ram back, but they wouldn't take it because Story Policy said I couldn't return it after 15 days.

It's really hard to explain that it's not really mine, and i am not returning it, but I am giving it back. After about 15 min I said screw it and kept it.

So if you want a stick of Non ECC PC800 ram let me know.
