Explain this....
Razor Blade:
man just tested half life on my pc because i wanna see. if i could run that i could run Guild wars but today stupid me saw the requirements (didn't think of it sooner LOL) lol minimum requirements needs a machine of 800mhz and video card of 32 mb vram.....lol :D can't wait untill guildwars come :D

--- Quote ---Nothing weird, the amount of extra power the new machines have usual gets sucked away by the os and all unneeded extra stuff on them. You don't gain much speed with a 3ghz cpu and 256mb vram compared to a 1.3ghz and a 64 vram pc. (highest thing I ever needed for a game to run it with evrything on, req windows anyway those games) But if you look at the difference between a 486 and a 386 then you know what improvements mean. The current improvements only add a very small percents (0,1% like for each) to the preformance of the pcs.
My pc is 5 years old, and runs anything I want. Last pc I ordered was 800mhz.
In short, it's not weird to run a game like hl2 on 1024x768 on that pc of you. Running on 1600x1200 with 32 bit and all graphics probably won't run well on it, but I doubt if you need that to play hl2.
And a load of poeple probably disagree with this, hardware manufacturers for sure ^_^

Yes. I disagree with it completely. Saying that going from 64 megs of RAM to 512 Megs only adding 0.1 % perfomance is pure stupidity.
Plus I'm sure not everyone here would like to be limited to Windows 98. Have you tried to run Windows XP on 64 megs of RAM?
also I used to convert large video files into mpeg 4 format. I started doing this on a 800 mhz Athlon. When i moved to a 2.0 ghz the performance increased by something like 500% how do you explain this? oh Operating system was the same on both machines.

Rofl, Dude. That *thery* is fucking insain. You couldent play HL 2 on a 64 meg machine if you tryed for starters it requires a minimum of 265(128 if you want it jumping every second even with graphics turned to nothing) And you need a minimum of 1.2GHz for any game on the shelves currently.
64Meg of VRAM<- is retarded, If your machine has 64Meg of VRAM you aint here and we have been imagining this person 'mel'.
Btw whats yer real name, Calling you 'Mel' Is disturbing for me, I dont talk to tran sexuals so this is difficult..

Meclar:
I know what ya mean by the difference from a 386 to a 486 I remember getting mine and being so quick to kill those buddies in Doom deathmatch across my serial cable. Othewise ya lost me. :D

Not talking about ram, not talking about win98 and that 0,1% is ripped out it's context.. Also that 0,1% is a bit over it, I know that, and wonder why you did take it to the letter. Thing I try to say is that improvements they make now add very little to the performance compared to the past. Also they try to make poeple believe they need the fastest pc to do normal work.

I really doubt that you would need about 256 vram to play hl2 normally, most poeple don't have that anyway. I didn't get some new games to run on 32 vram. But that's only 12,5% of that 256 and only for some of the new games.
Also, I wouldn't know who would run around with a name 'Xen', or 'Wobbels', and you probably won't have problems to get that a name doesn't tells if your tran-sexual or whatever. Just, stupid question, stupid answer.
In my post I did make clear I was giving my opinion, and added that I know that some poeple disagree with it. Those replys are offensif and show that you can't read well (for Mo) or can't accept it that someone else has a other opinion than yourself about something (for Xen).
And if you can't agree with "who knows what", then maybe we can agree to disagree. Just don't start to flame.
And Zen, you're a ramp-tourist, and I know you're pround of it :P
