No problems - I'll send them on today by recorded delivery.
You should get them tomorrow.
The card is a AGP (8x) ASUS Ti4200 128mb V9280 - the drivers can be found here.
The RAM is DDR RAM 184-pin Samsung PC2700 (333Mhz) so it's basically only for AMD-compatible motherboards. I'll send it on just in case that's what you have.
That is extremely nice of you Josh. By far one of the nicest things I have ever seen anyone in this community do.

God I am so sick of hearing the upgrade chant...when I bought this game the box, (which I still have 1 year after I bought it), states sys req to be : win 98, ME 2000 or XP ...processor P3 450 or higher..128 MB ram (256 if XP) geforce 2 or better, 56K modem or better. I have an xp1700+ with 392 MB ram, geforce 4 TI 4600 with 128 MB, and DSL connection. Why do I have framerates like slideshows in large battles I want to know...dont tell me that I have to turn off all the eye candy and sound and Chat channels to play the game promised on the box. I still pay every month, but it's crap sometimes. I have as much video memory as they require for system memory..that should be enough I would think..and I fully understand your feelings dude. I guess they maybe should have listed different req's for Combat also..the box obviously only listed req's for mining, researching and building :P ~TJ

hmmmm
this blanking your talking about GD, is it an option in the gui i've missed? if its a player haX0r people using it should get banned! it would be worse than the wallhacks and aimbots from CS
btw i recently went from 1/2 a gig to 2gb Ram and i can now run 2 clients NP at all on my FX5200
also with a 750 mhz celeron and a GeF3 it plays fine, after i upgraded it to 750mb ram!
eve is t3h RAM hungry!!!

No love for people that edit files for performance increases.
I don't even like people that turn the brightness up too high on FPS games.
I have a P4 1.6Ghz, 512ram, GeForce3(upgrade soonÖ), and WinXP Pro.. I wouldn't be caught dead in a fleet battle in EVE. Well yes I would, I just wouldn't be able to see what was going on.. By the time it finished loading space while coming out of warp, it would start loading the station environment at my clone station. I know this for a fact.
But I can play any new FPS games, with 30 other players around me, and it runs as smooth as a babies butt.
It's pretty obvious EVE runs way more processes than it needs to. So many things going on that are unnecessary. And i'm only talking about the things you can see.
CCP devs tend to add more code to cover up bad code. This is really bad for optimization and performance.

I honestly thought our frigates just locked your pod in time. I hate to see anyone lose something due to a lag spike. I think that BKG and the surronding areas needs some node love by CCP. Just ask Fupl about the fight at the station 2 nights ago where all of us got node dropped 2 times in one fight.
Btw I just play on a run of the mill $500 Dell with a P4 2.4 and 512M of ram and some video card i bought at bestbuy for $78 bucks Geforce 440 or something like that.
So I think it was more of a server problem than your pc problem

Node Death, Server Problems, ect.. These things affect everyone in the system equally. In most cases at least. These things wont give others an unfair advantage.
UK most likely experiences less lag than us US people though. So that will always be a problem. Tell everyone is fiber optic nStuff. |

Well my PC is due for an overhaul anyway, its a 1.4Gb Athlon with 256Mb RAM and a GF2 and i've marginally overclocked all three. That and i have so much spyware on it it's unreal. So when i get that new hardware into it (Cheers again Joshua, hey i might put that in my sig ) i'm gonna backup across my partition and purge my main disk with nothing back on it but EVE. With the 1Gb of RAM Joshua's giving me (I hear more of RAM being the problem than anything) and the purge i should run fine. I might buzz my Dad for a couple of components (CPU and stuff)he has that are marginally better than my present ones and more importantly havent been gamed to hell for 3 years. All in all EVE is a resource guzzler, and though i do wish they had even lower possible settings or a more efficient system i still love it. Now hopefully i can love it from PvP too.
Oh and with this upgrade i am holding my resignation from GODS and PA, many of the GODS guys made me shut my trap and just say i'd stay, apparently PvP isn't as important to them as my TS banter
To EVERYONE who has helped my in this, with advice, components (Did i forget to mention how much i love Joshua ), support from friends, and not turning this into the flamebait i feared it might become....
Cheers, from Sassinak all the way to Juduzz and Cursed, cheers guys no matter what we game we game the same community, thanks again  --------------------------------------------------------------

Edited by: Angry Dan on 20/07/2004 22:35:34 Hey josh, that bit of generosity deserves a reward, if you ever go to Trillians or Rock @ the Arena, I'll buy you a pint.
I ran eve fine using intergrated graphics on a NForce 2 motherboard, Athlon 1100/100fsb and 512mb.
However, I did fond some handy hints. 1) Run eve on a seperate drive are partition to your windows install. 2) I've found lag is appalling if you don't get a 15Kbit pipe to upload through 3) Turning the colours option to 16bit does boost frame rates 4) Every in game window you open seems to reduce 1-2 fps, at least on my box (and it ain't no slouch). Try to keep the windows to Autoscanner, corp and local. 5) Clean the spyware off your system with Ad Aware (click the link) It does a pretty good job of killing spyware. ++++++++++++++++++++ CEO of the Space Munchkins. Fear my kneepads of allure!
