Just had this arrive a couple of days ago..
C2D E6750 Oc to 3.8 gig
2gig OCZ Reaper DDR2 800 cas 3
MSI NeoCombo-F mainboard
ATI X1950GT DDR3 256bit 512mb (was only $90 so don't crab at me about not getting an 8800..  )
2 WD1600 SATAII
It OMGWTFBBQ's Eve premium with all ingame settings maxed with extreme shadows and 2x AA.. I get about 30-40fps at the FF1 with lots of everything on the screen.. Setting shadows to high boosts it to about 90-120 fps in the same area and settings.. Screen res is 1920x1080.. Eve classic on the other hand does a lot better than the current client on the same hardware but all the old problems are still there like long grid load times and such..
Eve premium is looking to be the client of choice if you want no client side lag in major engagements..

Just replaced mah 7950GT with an 8800GTS Superclock (Evga). Rest o' the box is already up to snuff. (and so was the 7950, but the 8800 is more beef.)

I would never upgrade for a game...
I upgrade because it's time to upgrade (or Thursday, which ever comes first).
What? If you never upgrade for a game, why are you ever upgrading? You dont need more than a P4 1.6ghz to use Firefox or Word or msn messenger or winamp whatever else you are doing rather than gaming.
The only reason to upgrade a computer is for the games lol

Though not for Trinity, I did upgrade recently..
From an Athlon64 3800+, 1 GB DDR, 7800GT,
to an Intel C2Duo 6550 2.33 @ 3.1 GHz, 4 GB DDR2. Of course I still have the 7800GT for a while. But hey, Christmas and all. With HDR and the shadows set to Low, I run an average of 30-50 fps at 1440x900. Not that impressive but better than I've been seeing.
Anyway, back to overclocking.. I think I can hit 3.3 GHz.

A single 8800GT is more than sufficient to run Trinity at the highest settings. I would advise everyone to avoid Vista like the plague...it is truly a piece of garbage at the moment.
Once NOL has been purged with cleansing fire, and all the vassals are put to the sword, I'm sure we'll have a lovely little cold war, your bloc and ours.

Picked up an NVIDIA 7900GS to replace my 6600GT, it's about all I want to do with this antiquated P4 3.4ghz w/HT and AGP video system. After this, it'll be some obnoxious new system next year, dual or quad-core with some ridiculous hardware.

 x1650 requires a 550W ?impossible.even x1950 dont need 550w ,im not a psu geek but 350w should be ok for 1650 , 450w for 1950pro if system not very crowd.
recommended psu for 1950pro agp;450-Watt power supply or greater, 30 Amps on 12 volt rail recommended"
Originally by: Gridwalker
When I was looking for cards, there are several AGP cards out there which are a lot more advanced, and a lot more expensive. Normally I would have gone for one of those, but... my power supply simply wouldn't be up to the task. The X1650, for example, requires a 550W power supply with at least 38amps on the 12v rail. I can't imagine what the X1950 requires!
If you're putting in a new AGP video card, be certain to check the wattage of your power supply first, and make sure your 12v rails can handle the current!

I was about to upgrade my system but then I found out that Intel and Nvidia are in a licensing ****ing contest right now.
The result of that is the new 45nm Quad cores can't be used in SLI motherboards. 
Ah well, guess I just have to play at a lower setting for the next 2-3 months as two x1900xt in crossfire can't handle the Trinity engine at 2560x1600, 12xAA and 16xAF.

Commercially I can see why CCP needs to upgrade. As a player it makes no difference. All I can see in a fight is little white boxes.

TBH, i don't give a rats (other word for rear-end) about upgrading,, as i prefer running on 1024X768 and lores,, simply to be able to run it on my lovely (spare,, my wife gave me the ok for using it) 28" HDTV .
Maybe, at a later point, i'll upgrade, to see the new shinyness of my abaddon,, but it ain't too important for me atm (as in ; i'd like to make CCP clear out all quirks before upgrading)!
