Just a quick question. If I have an AMD Athlon 3400 now, would I benefit to update to a dual or quad core if I plan on running only one instance?
I'm not worried about ram/video card - I just want to know if changing chips would help?

Author,
I had the 3500+ before my upgrade and from what I remember, the game had some issues once in a while. Specially in huge battles, so unless Trinity is extremely polished, not sure if the 3400+ will cut it.
my current kit:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2048MB RAM (633mhz)
Hard Drive: 320 GB Total (SATA 7400RPM)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS

I haven't had a problem for 2 eve years on the +3400 amd, just wondering if a dual/quad core will help when running one instance? (The 3400 runs at 2.2ghz). Your dual core runs at 2.66Ghz. I don't see that being such a big jump in speed. I am unfamiliar with how dual core works - I think that eve will still only use one processor, right?

A dual core CPU is always better even if a game doesn't directly use both cores because you tend to find 1 core handles the OS and other background processes while the other runs the game, that's an oversimplified description as there is more to it than that but that's the basic principle.

I upgraded for Trinity a few months ago when screenshots were starting to be released more frequently.
E6600, 8800GTS 640MB, 2GB RAM, etc. I bought a 22" dell widescreen, too. Eve looks gorgeous as it is with this setup.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
7950 GTX
2gb DDR2 @ 800mhz
37" LG LCD Primary / 19" Samsung LCD for acct number 2.
Should be ok with this and ships look so much better when they fill a 1/4 of your wall.

One PC will run classic & bought a cheap nvidia 7600GS for the other to get a flavour of the new dx9 stuff. I think that's fine for me atm.
I'm long overdue for a whole new PC but I figure I'll wait for the dx10 version. I'm assuming that means I'll be waiting for years but thats ok as long as these 2 old warhorses hang together

I'm going to stick to my nvidia geforce go 7900 gs, but as soon as I can, instead of upgrading, I'm going to buy an area-51 m17x =)
 any idea when they will be rolling those out? Would be nice to box up this XPS laptop and give it to wife for x-mass!

Upgrading to a 5200 AMD Dual core (2 x 2.6ghz) with a 8600 GT card and 2 gig DDR2 (800mhz) - Running Vista home premium.
Current PC - Sempron 2.6 (18 ghz) and a GE Force 7600 with 1 gig of slow old Ram on Windows XP
I'm hoping that this will help me with the following issues:
1) warp into fleet battle. - Lag out and die staring at the same frame for 5 mins
2) jump through gate - wait 30 secs for screen to load while everyone else warps off
3) 2 - 3 fps when waiting with a large gang with nothing going on
Please someone tell me I've got a hope of improving my gameplay with this setup
It would also be nice if the upgrades PC made Amarr work, but lets face it CCP don't really want to fix Amarr, do they?

You will be pleasantly surprised with the performance you can get with the premium content on even a modest SM3 rig..

The problem lies in the fact that I need to upgrade 3 machines
