Quote: Hi, I have a second computer thats currently running eve in the crappy graphics mode. I have been giving some thought to upgrading as I just bought a 2nd big monitor. Question is... should I just buy a better graphics card, or think about buying a new machine. Spec Dell Precision 370 Pentium(R)4 - 3.60GHz 2Gb RAM Current graphics card = ATI FireGL V3100 (oh, I'm running Win XP pro) any thoughts? And thanks for any responses!

If you have 4 total DIMM (RAM) slots you can cheaply put 2 more GB of RAM in and buy a Radeon 4770 to put in place of the FireGL.
That would be a best upgrade for now although replacing that Pentium 4 wouldbe a priority if you use the computer for anything else. Gettting a half decent Core 2 especially a 7000 series or a 8000 series would certianly pull the most from that system.
Although buying a new computer might be hassle building it (alhough it isn't really) and a prebuilt would be instant it could save money on buying a new case, mobp, PSU etc.
You have all the modern slots in that computer so it should work fine.
I just wanted to say thank you once again for the fast and helpful response. I bought the RAM and Graphics Card, and my 2nd computer now runs Eve like a dream. I owe you a Beer!

No problem mate. Happy to help
Just think of spending the same amount of time in EVE but accomplishing more with a half decent computer. ------------------------------------- Read my bio ingame for tips on how to live and not be called nasty names by me. |
