In a nutshell...
i7 965 on Intel DX58SO
12GB Kingston RAM
2x Asus HD6990
3x 27" + 1x 24"
Runs 6-8 clients no prob. Perfect for carebearing. And RL stock trading. And Skyrim (While it lasted).
Was a little lean on the RAM when multiboxing 6+ but since Incursion 1.1 that issue's gone.

I run
i5 2500k @ 4.2
SSD
8 GB mem
ATI 6850
Things to note if your buying a new system for gaming
Don't waste money on an i7 over a i5 2500k , hyperthrreading makes little diffrence to gaming
Eve client (with only one instance running) is incredibaly cheap graphic resource wise.
I had some problems initally installing my GPU in my new rig. So was forced to run under onboard graphics for a while.
My i5, with the help (and a couple of tweeks of my) Asus Mobo benchmarked at 50% better fps than my old 4 core 9400GT rig.
With my GPU installed it will run 2 clients at max in windowed mode .

Dont try and kid yourself there an I7 smokes an I5 hardcore style.
Id prefer my I7 anyday over its baby brother. The I5 may run Eve well but when you really push it with a brand new modern game with lots of bells and whistles [insert joke here] Id much rather have the I7. |

DELL XPS 630i:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @2.5GHz
4 GB RAM (diagnostics tell me I only have 3.5 GB though ?!?)
GeForce GTS 240 (got podded, so looking for a new one)
28'' DELL Widescreen and SyncMaster 19''
I DO NOT recommend it. It sounds like a Rolls-Royce merling engine and uses a lot of electricity.
What's a decent NVIDIA graphics card? I'm looking at GTX 460, but if/when CCP opens the Door in a year or two i'll probably need to upgrade again (open, disable Station Environment, sell new fancy graphics card)
I'm considering getting a new high-end laptop instead as i'm often on the road.

The RAM is because your using a 32 bit OS which can only address 4GB . It could be its using 512mb as cache therefore not seeing it as such.
A decent GPU for low cost Id recommend a 560TI slightly more than a 460 but a 560 will run games such as Eve on maxed out settings full AA etc very well indeed. Even the more modern games on full settings at about 30 FPS which isnt bad for a card like that. |

In benchmarking for games frankly even the highest end i7 fails to outperform the i5, but keep believing the intel hype and giving them Mo money, it's your dollar after all.

:P even if EVE doesn't require that much to run under normal circumstances, in large fleet fights its good to have a strong computer... specially if you enjoy not having to turn down graphics and switch of brackets :) |

Only trouble I have now is that I cannot ship spin. Donno why but it makes me a sad panda not being able to spin.
You have to cut the ops team some slack, trolling the player base with made up downtime estimates is the only fun they get around here.-á(CCP Nullarbor) |

While that is true as (AFAIK) EVE doesn't multi thread (an doesn't really need to that sort of functionality is really mostly only neccasery in 'constant full power' type computations ie video maping or rendering) the i7 is of no advanatge.
As I understand it they are virtually the same chip pysically just with the slight advantage of multi threading capabiltiy which few pieces of 'regular software' currently access.

I actually had this idea of taking an old half broken case to put the parts into, then touch it up a little with duct tape and funny lights and make a Minmatar computer but I ended up just buying a pre made case with some fans in it.
As for specs, I bought last year an i5 2400, 8GB Ram and a 560GTX to play around with while my old PC I had been using for about 8 years slowly died away xD |

[..]
The theoretical maximum for a 32bit OS is 4GB. In practice the computer uses 256 Mega up to a Gigabyte for IO address space depending on mainboard and its BIOS. The actual installed RAM above the remaining amount is not used, not even for caching because it can not be addressed by the OS.
I'm running the game on a custom built machine (read: replacing one or the other part as soon as it bothers me) as follows:
AMD Phenom II X4 940 (3GHz)
8GB DDR2 RAM (4x 2GB, Kingston)
AMD Radeon HD 4870 512MB graphics
750W power supply
23 inch CRT, full HD resolution
It's able to run 2 clients with pretty high settings, but I don't use antialiasing. Enabling it with 2 clients turns it into a slideshow and I bet it's way lacking graphics RAM then. The power supply leaves room for expansions, which are not planned ^^ .
When Incarna hit 4GB apparently weren't enough to run 2 clients and a couple of other programs at the same time.

Asus P8Z68-v gen 3
i5-2500k
Asus GTX560Ti DirectCU II Top (factory overclocked)
16Gb (because of Photoshop)
2x OCZ Vertex 3 120Gb (dual boot Win7/xubuntu, on their own drives)
HP LP2475w 24"
Would recommend a similar build, not top of the line but certainly decent and doesn't leave a huge gaping hole in the bank account.
I sometimes triplebox, but put the third client gfx to minimum because having all maxed wakes up the GPU fan.
I played on a late 2008 Macbook Pro for a year and it was also fine for EVE, not pretty but playable. |

The sub 4G thing is (I think) because using 32 bits that is literally the highest number you can make in binary using 32 seperate numbers.
As memory addresses have to be sent in one 'number' by convention it isn't possible to convince the architure that anything actually excists beyond it's hishest address point.
The hard cap theoretically is still there using 64 bits but the actual 'top adress' is truely massive.
