I am thinking about replacing my existing system that uses an AMD 25000+, ASUS A7N8X Deluxe, Geforce Ti4400, 1 GB ram with something different. I wanted to ask the eve community what they would recommend based on their experiences with their hardware and eve.
Currently I experience crashes where the system will reboot when running two eve clients. This is completely random and unpredictable. Every driver/patch I can find to possibly address this has been applied.
What I am looking for is a system a little faster than what I currently have, that does not have this crash problem. Please outline specific recommendations that you have direct experience with.

Is this realy a system problem? I think it's a EVE problem. You current system seem pretty fast to me even without the 25000+ typo :)
If you want more speed and got a Barton 2500+ CPU why not try overclocking it a bit. It's a very overclockable cpu I've read. Getting my 2500+ Barton soon :)

you should check the speed of your Front Side Bus, mine was set to 200mhz but the CPU can only handle 166mhz, since i stepped it down, not a single crash or system reboot.
Try it :)

Sadly, I installed Windows XP Pro. I guess that could be the whole problem right there, but I will recheck all the settings for the FSB and the like.

Do you know about disabling sun occlusion in both clients? Many crashes whilst running two clients are cleared up by that.

about the crashes; one of my favorite problem with crashes under winXP was a RAM with too high latency timings. after i changed it with a corsair high latency RAM module the problems are gone.
or try to set the timings down a bit

AthlonXP 2000+ (266FSB) AOpen AK77-333 768MB PC2700 Inno3D GF4 Ti4200 64MB SB Live! Value 5.1 WindowsXP Pro All newest drivers for everything and all WindowsUpdates.
No crashes, no problems related to Eve at all, even with 3 clients running together (2 TQ and 1 Chaos).
Turning off Sun Occlusion will fix the "openning new client kills first client" bug.
Only problem I have is that the cooling on my Inno3D card isnt good enough even with an AGP cooler, so it overheats and crashes windows once a month (thinking of getting a copper cooler to fix that). ********** Everyone deserves to die. You go first.

Checked bios settings, everything looks good, memory timings are 'By SPD'. Should I manually set this and try to drop the speed a bit? (its 200mhz FSB DDR ram by Corsair, wasnt the exact memory I thought I was getting but its worked fine except when two eve clients are running). And about the latency timing settings, what are the correct settings for this and how would I find that out? (Its currently setting itself up from the SPD info). As for thermal, I run asus probe and the system runs at about 96F on the cpu and 68F to 70F for the mainboard.
The ONLY other culprit I can think of is the Powersupply, but its an Antec 350W, on the approved list for AMD systems. I REALLY dont want to change that part out as I have never had much luck with those....
