Default Re: Computers

You think yours is slow? Ask Captain Kwok about his old computer...

Actually, I came pretty close to Kwok's record... I've played SE4 on three machines, I'll go in reverse order so you can be astonished at how slow the first one was...

Current machine (laptop I bought for school about a year ago)
1.2 GHz Pentium III processor
512 MB RAM
512 (or maybe 256) KB Cache
40 GB HD
Windows XP Pro

Previous machine (cheap eMachines desktop system my dad bought a few months before I got my laptop, it's SOOO slow trying to run XP on it! )
1 GHz Celeron processor (but the Sandra benchmark utility rated it at 660 MHz... hmm, why would they put SpeedStep on a desktop machine? Or was it overclocked out of the box to make it look faster??? )
128 MB RAM
128 KB Cache
20 GB HD
Windows XP Home (and there's HOW much RAM? I literally have to wait 15 seconds for the START MENU to come up if I haven't opened it before! )

Way way old machine (that my brother and I bought but gave to our grandparents when my dad bought the other one)
466 MHz Celeron processor
32 MB RAM
4 (yes, that's 4) GB HD
Windows 98
