What beasts are you cowboys riding?

[o_3xternal]

Just wondering what machines the development team uses in thier work?
Are we nVidiots or Retardeon users? AMD or Intels etc....

If you are using an Dell, Compaq, or, at the worst, an HP, please don't admit it...

[o_eat]

AMD A64 Winchester 3000+
1GB GEiL Value RAM
AV8 3rd Eye mobo (v good try it out)
Abit A400 6400 nu (nVidia)

Could do with OCing because the limiting factor in compiling maps is processor speed.

[trepid_jesse]

AMD Athlon 2400+ (2.0GHz)
1GB GEiL PC3200
Soyo Dragon Ultra KT333
Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB

[o_lithium]

heh,

Athlong 2800+ XP with a A7N8X Deluxe Mobo
512 Kingston Ram DDR

[o_pud]

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.8ghz OC@ 3200+ 2.2ghz
Abit NF7-s nforce 2 mobo
512 2x256 kingston Hyper-X 3200 dual channel ram - going to get more soon
Nvidia Geforce FX 5900XT-OC (BFG)

and thought I would mention I use a Zippy EL(Electro-eluminated) keyboard. It's pretty neat 8)

trepid, do you suffer stuttering in HL2? Like, random sound stutters, not necessarily after a load or save,but just be-boppin around?

[o_fjorn]

Intel 2.4g Celeron (yeah yeah)

[trepid_jesse]

Yeah, I did, but some/most of it was alleviated after they released some patch in the days that followed the initial release of Half-Life 2.

I haven't played the singleplayer in awhile, though. So, not sure how it'd act now.

Air Force issued dell :roll:

If it's to be believed the test in HL2 said 98 fps. All I know is that this machine is approaching 3 years in age and it still runs everything nice and smooth. Doom3 in Ultra at 1024 x 768 (note: I dedicated 500 MB of RAM for image pre-caching...that helped ALOT). My next jump will involve a Socket 939 Nforce4 motherboard....GO AMD! http://eucke.com/smiley/woot.gif

[o_voipme]

Intel 3.2 GHz LGA 775 w/ HT
1 GB DDR2 4200
Nvidia Geforce 6600GT w/ 128mb
Audigy 2

I managed to get like 100 something FPS at 1280x1024 with practically everything turned on (besides anti-aliasing). It is a pretty machine.

Jebus....

Me?

LAPTOP
Centrino 1.8 GHz
1 GB pc2700 DDR
radeon 9700 pro 256 MB
15.4 display
60GB 7200 RPM drive.

I'm selling my desktop bc the laptop beats it in almost every game
Desktop being sold:
Intel P4 2.4c GHz
512 MB DDR 333Mhz
(previously) Dual 80GB Seagate SATA RAID
Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MSI
MSI 865 Neo2 Mobo
Audigy 2 ZS

Selling it bc the laptop does not stutter in HL2 and loads doom3 faster than the SATA RAID.

I plan to get another desktop in the summer, when DDR2 has come down in latency and when the SATA standard is 3 gigbit, instead of 150 megabit (by then we should prolly see no more ATA hard drive compliant mobos) and when PCIE is fulyl hatched and usable at full potential...

[o_thedarkone]

Centrino 1.8 GHz
1 GB pc2700 DDR
radeon 9700 pro 256 MB
15.4 display
60GB 7200 RPM drive.

Centrino isn't a processor. It's a brand Intel slaps on all its laptops that refers to various power usage reduction techniques and wireless connectivity.

And DDR2 will never get its latency down to the levels DDR has. The whole design philosophy behind it is a sacrifice in latency for higher clock speeds.

[o_vertical]

Since Everyone else is... :P

Computer 1: (Gaming, programming)
Hard Drives: One 60GB Western Digital 7200rpm & One 120GB Western Digital 7200rpm (may add another 250+)
Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz w/HT (I'll upgrade when I get the money for either an AMD 64 or Intel Extreme 3.8-4.0Ghz)
1GB of PC3200 Dual Channel DDR2 400Mhz RAM
SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Edition 7.1 Surround Sound Card
Dual 19" CRT & LCD Flat Panel Monitors at 2048x768 Resolution @ 100Hz
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe MB with 800Mhz FSB
nVIDIA GeForce 6800GT 256MB 256Bit 16pipe (by eVGA)

Computer 2: (Opening suspisious files, Graphic design, and programming)
Hard Drive: 40GB Western Digital @ 7200rpm
Dell OPTIPLEX GX720
Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz w/HT
512MB RAM
Intel Extreme Integrated Graphics (As I don't need a high end card for this PC)
Standard Sound
Standard Dell Tower Case
19" Flat Panel LCD Monitor

For any other information and images go here www.hlevolve.com/cp1 & www.hlevolve.com/cp2 (Both pages are fairly up to date)

Both computers are running XP Professional SP2
Both on a wired 6Mbps Down/256Kbps up Cable Connection on a wirless router (The computer upstairs which isn't mine uses the wirless connection...)

EDIT: As stated in the post above, the latency is higher with DDR2, but I plan on getting OZ Tech RAM for my 2nd GB which is DDR2 (I think) it has CAS speeds of 2-2-2-5 rather than my current of 3-3-3-8 (which works totaly fine for everything I've needed to run on the system, including HL2 and every other game on the system at max graphics)

Sorry dood, but that is just down-right picky. What would u like, pentium M? Dothan? Cmon. By trying to correct me, you obviously understood what processor i meant.
I will correct myself

Ahem, Intel Pentium M 1.80Ghz

all honkey dorey? (sp) rofl :P
vgg

[o_|404|innoc-tpf-]

Aw cmon...ho're you guys foolin? Centrino's just some fancy-schmancy fru fru Coffee....I can get one at Starbucks...I'll order you a Vente Centrino next time you're in town...

Sobe that is odd. My Geforce 5200 fx is a 256 MB agp 8x. just got it like 2 months ago for 75$. I dont see what the big deal is. My comp would be the limit on a better one.

Yea the 128mb version is horrible. Not long after I bought my 128 for 89$ did they release the 256. I'm saving to just buy an awesome card instead of buying one of the cheaper ones.

[o_mikequist]

yea, ive never had problems with my card, but i keep seeing it dissed. must be more directed towards 128s i would guess. idk. only problem i have is where im in garrys mod and get liek 20 explosive barrels and blow em. that slows it down for like a sec.

There's some problem with my motherboard (Asrock) or with my display adapter, I get 20-40 FPS in HL2 in many places. Riddick ran at 30-40. Basically, my hardware is pretty useless.

/drools sweet computer! the 3500+ is my favorite sub $500 processor. is that the 90nm or the 130nm one? 90nm is a LOT better creating even less heat.

[Dospac]

I bought it back in August, so no winnie for me ;) Newcastle core, still OC's like a champ though.
