The Gathering


Recommended Posts

As the imminent release of BCM closes in I was wondering what kind of machines the indies here are running. These are my PC specs:

466MHz Celeron e-machines

256 megs RAM

32mb PCI graphics card

win98 SE

5x DVD-ROM drive

8.4 gigs of HD

soundblaster compatible card

Not exactly a beastly machine like the 1 gig monsters with all the bells and whistles but it's what I have to play BCM.

Well, I have:

HP 6630

Celeron 500 Mhz

64 MB RAM

10.2GB HD

1.7 GB HD

ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Graphics/TV Tuner Card (Rage 128 Chipset)

24x/4x/4x/4x CD/DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive

56k Modem

NIC (Network Interface Card)

Win ME

It's not bad, and it's only a little over a year old. I used to have cable, but I moved, and had to get rid of it. When it gets to my area, I just might get it again.

I'll be running BCM on the following kit:

- PIII 850

- 512MB ram

- 32MB ATI 4xAGP card

- 56K modem

- Usual pc stuff... hard drives, CD/CDRW/DVD, NIC

- W98SE, and Win2K Pro

The modem's the "weak" link, but in my neck of the world you pay "BIG" (seriously expensive) for anything else. No ASDL, cable, etc.

Thanks for the warm welcome Nova.

That price for cable service got me thinking... so I did some research...

... If you was here, you'd have 64kb ISDN (excluding modem, and call charges) for that price ($39.65 to be precise).

Just aswell there isn't an "instant graemlin" to depict "green with envy" because the rest of my post would be filled with 'em.

Cable is only $38/month + modem (buy it or lease it) for 512kbps download 256 kbps upload where I live.

Here, it's about 27$US with modem, or 18$US +modem For the same quality, DSL or cable (but the DSL is upload-capped, I know I have it)

I got 56k too. Cable is around 40 bucks, that's twice as much as regular 56k connection. I just hope 56k is enough to actually play online and not ping someone to death.
