I'm not a spcialist of computer but I can tell you that it work perfectly for bzflag
What arbiter whanted to tell you is that the computer is fast enuph to play perfectly bzflag. When he say no RAM, it's a french expression.

Merci
the CPU overclock was the fun part - although very stressful! (hardware OC: I had to open up my eMac)
the card is just a software OC with ATIccelerator II

The dodgy little spekers on the monitors
There is also a nasty Intel machine that runs bots if the server is compiling:-
P4 prescott @3.2Ghz
1/2gig DDR 440
200 Gig SATA drive
Nvidia FX550 (they're cheap OK!)
Gentoo~ & FC3 D/Boot

why
why is an intel machine nasty....... it seems to have the fastest processor on all 3 of ur machines........ i just baught(well got for xmas)my computer and got it put together it runs on intel so HA!
Re: why
'Cos it cost more for the mobo/CPU and benchmarks way slower than the AMD, even with the same memory, has no frequency scaling, cost more for the stupid prescott campatible case, and isn't as stable by a long shot.Matt? wrote:why is an intel machine nasty

Re: why
Partially true, Depending on if you do a lot of encoding work (audio and video compression), P4s can run faster than comparable AMD processors. True this is probably due to a large amount of apps being compiled with later versions of ICL, but is also the result of the P4 having a cheap floating point unit. It handles SSE2 and other optimizations better simply because it needs them more and the Intel people know this so they made the processor perform better when they are utilized.Teppic wrote:and benchmarks way slower than the AMD
I could be wrong about all that, I'm no hardware expert.
