Figure this'll help the SCP people to have a general idea of how powerful the average person's computer is 'round here.

This is the CPU thread.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I have a 700 MHz Athlon right now, but I just purchased an Abit IT7 Mobo, a 2.26 GHZ Pentium 4, and 512 MB PC2100 DDRRAM last night. :) They'll be here in like two days. Yay.

My Win98 machine is a Celeron 333MHz w/ an integrated ATI chipset :doubt:  Nebula missions suck big time, and I can't run hi-res, but it works...

My Linux box is a P3 650 w/ a GeForce3, but it can't run Freespace... yet... ;7

AMD Duron (I think) 1333MHz / 1500+ XP

Isn;t this a bit pointless, though?  cos MHZ / GHZ is a bit redundant as a performance measure, 'spesh with the different AMD/ Intel architectures.  not to mention the motherboards.

What about a 3dmark ratings poll?

Athlon 1.4 underclocked to 1.3 for improved cooling in the heatwave we've got at the moment.

Still runs like a kitten with Photoshop, Freespace and almost everything other than GTA3 or SoF2 on full detail.

P3 933 mhz. Good enough, but I want to replace it eventually with a nice Athlon.

There is one now, but 3Dmark doesn't tell everything...

Duron@1Ghz and Celeron@1116Mhz. Plenty of power for further developments in the Freespace source :)
