I'm running eve on what could be considered a low spec machine these days. Athlon XP 1800+ running at 1473Mhz, only 256Mb PC2700DDR (It's all I really need most of the time), Geforce 4 MX 440 (cheap as hell ^^) and it's running on an MSI KT333 motherboard. I will say that MSI make damn good motherboards and I will stick with them from now on, definately.
I run eve in 1600*1200 at 75Hz with 32bit colour and I can get down to 4-10 FPS in space. It's very much playable at that low FPS. I tried using a lower resolution and colour depth and although the FPS increased a lot, it didn't make much of a difference. The resolution I run in is, to me, a greater effect on playability than FPS. I should upgrade some time, but it works fine for me right now.

Originally by: fuze Just close all chatwindows and your performance will increase significantly. I can go up to 65fps with all windows closed in 3D space. Open just one of them and bang back to 35 fps. So there's something strange going on with the code.
I think that's a transp[arancy issue with your graphics card. it probably takes up a lot of your graphics card's performance to do those transparant effects on windows. Try turning them solid.
