What was your setup for planet side 1?


Thought it would be interesting to take a stroll down memory lane. My original set up for planet side was a 1.3ghz Sony vaio, but it wasn't until I upgraded to a GeForce ti4800 and a whopping 256mb of ram that I could play the game at playable framerates. What was your first planet side rig?

I don't even know the specs of my first really but I think it was a low end p4 with integrated graphics. Next was a high clocked P4 with a 6800 GT. I consider that my first ps computer due to only playing ps for a month and came back later with the one above. Was a great computer for the time I think.

Re: What was your setup for planet side 1?


2.4ghz Cellron, FX5600, 512 of RAM? Certainly playable but not amazing.
Bumped up to a 2.8ghz P4 northwood at some point, maybe more ram too.
Eventually upgraded to a 6800 or 7800 perhaps I had both at some point, I can't recall?
I can't quite remember when I went to the Athlon 64, but I know it had the 7800 for a while until I put a 275GTX in it.

It's probably chronicled on these forums way back.

2.4Ghz P4 - 512mb Ram (upgraded to 1.5Gb) - 64MB GFX
Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.5ghz (upgraded to Opteron 146 @ 3Ghz) 1GB Ram (upgraded to 2GB) - ATI X500 128MB?(upgraded to 7800GT)
Intel E6600 @ 3.2Ghz - 2GB Ram - 7800GT (upgraded to 8800GTS then XFX 4890)


Now I'm with an I5 @ 4.2Ghz - 8GB Ram - GTX 460.

I went through four myself. The two pentiums, Athlon X2 4200 w/ 7900 GT, to a E8400 w/ 8800 GTS 512 G92. That was from 2004 to 2008.

1.4 GHz Athlon (dual core)
512 MB DDR2 RAM
Radeon 9600 w/ 128 MB DDR3 VRAM

I kept that machine going for many years, until upgrading to my current rig.

Phenom II X4 @ 3.2 GHz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Radeon HD 6850 w/ 1GB DDR5 VRAM

I've got the processor undervolted, the RAM is underclocked and loosely timed, and the GPU came with a mild overclock from the factory. It's fast enough for my needs and never crashes.

All I remember from my 2004 system is that it was a ATI/ADM Athlon setup and the x800 card cost me twice as much as I paid for my current GTX460. I think I had 2gb of ram on it.
