Damn Gammit, I wish I had a 1.5 mb/s connection.

[BurningSpear]

I get 1.5 - 2.5 mb/s download. Gotta go cable. Except when it comes to upload speeds, but I get pretty decent pings in Tribes 2 servers with 32v32 pubs, so . . .

What *I'm* drooling over is yer damn 46-inch monitor, Unico!!!! Post a pic?

[SpacemanSpiff]

Sure Burning.. I'll have to check online for it since I don't have a dig. camera.

~cable is great, but it'll be a month before I can get it, so I'm getting dsl this week just in the hopes of getting on the open beta list. I'm sure most of us would have done this if given the opportunity. Also, cable down here is limited to 256k upload... not bad, but not good enough, aye?

[BurningSpear]

yeah, i think 256k upload is the standard for cable, but i could be wrong. like i said, tho, i still ping awful nice in heavy traffic servers. 2000k/256k cable is hella cheaper than anything more on dsl, btw, even sacrificing some download bandwidth to increase upload.

need a new motherboard, an XP Barton 3000, and 1 gig of 3200 Corsair ram hmmm - wonder how much I can sell my legs for.

[SpacemanSpiff]

Trebor,

I personally would never buy a proc that's more than 300$ - and I believe the Barton 3000 is close to 600$.
The difference in fps are practically insignificant when compared to cards like the Barton 2500 and the Thoroughbred 2700. Save your cash yo, and upgrade economically.

What would really make your rig fly is a Radeon 9700 card. Just wait until the 9800 comes out by April... the 9700 will come tumbling down in price. I couldn't wait, of course, since I want to get on the open beta list.

hehe I am a bit impulsive good idea about waiting for the 9800

[SpacemanSpiff]

I anticipate the 9700 pro to go down to 200... probably no less than that.

AMD AthlonXP 2000+ @ 2.0GIG
512 DDR RAM
Generic sound card
GeForce2 400MX 32MB (will that work with PS?)
60gig HD
52x CDROM

overall i think my comp is da bomb, exept for crapy video card, will that card even work with PS? whats a good card, GeForce4 Ti?

[SpacemanSpiff]

I THINK that card should work with PS... go to the official site and check out their most updated specs.
The most economical video card upgrade would be the GeForce 4200. Besides the upcoming FX card, the GeForce 4600 is probably the best nvidia has to offer for the moment. Of course, if you want the BEST video card out there right now... upgrade your card to the ATI Radeon 9700 pro (it has to be PRO).

Athlon 1.4
