Sparhawk: Slot-A mobo with 133 Bus: ASUS have had the K7V series of 133 RAM bus and 200 FSB. The only thing is that it uses the VIA chipset. I would recomend it and I like the VIA chipset. My machine has the PentiumIII Cu version of this mobo and the K7V got very good reviews when it was released. See http://www.tomshardware.com for more.

StarFyre: I would imagine that mobo (Being ASUS) could set the Processor:RAM speeds at a 3:4 ratio so that the PC133 would be at 133mhz while the processor was at 100. My ASUS certainly has that option (P3V4X).

I want to overclock my Athlon, need to buy a GOldfingers and an Alpha first, just being lazy to order :-)

I'll buy another stickof 128 MB RAM by end of the month.

I plan to get either a V5 or NV15, depending if 3dfx can get their drivers up to par, and i'll wait till prices go head to head with each other.

WOW, this has been really great feedback fellas.

Now, here's another question (keep those specs coming though http://forums.voodooextreme.com/smile.gif ): What about your friends and acquaintances? What kind of machines do the folks you know own? (Just the ones that buy at least of couple games per year.)

That would be really helpful.

Thanks again to all http://forums.voodooextreme.com/biggrin.gif,

Shivia: Thank you! I'll be buying that Mobo when I get paid this Friday. Damn you gave me work to do! Oh well, won't take too long, get up early and start putting everything together.

I'd know some more but they just don't play no pc games.

poopsie, please give us as much detail as possible (or at least give us the option to have alot of detail) cos most of us are now using very high spec machines, and with the hardware cycles at which hardware manufacturers release their new products, getting shorter and faster than ever before, most of us will have some pretty fast machines by the time u release this game.

Sunama: Adding detail will NOT be a problem.

Any of the maps we ship with the game should run just fine on most of the machines mentioned in this thread ('sept the ones < than 300mhz and such).

However, you WILL see dramatic visual improvements, even on those maps, up to prolly a 1.5ghz CPU w/NV15 or equivalent.

Moreover, the level creation tool will ship with the game. There are virtually no restrictions on what folks can place in their own maps.

This practically guarantees that folks will be creating maps that will FAR, FAR outpace even the mightiest machines that will be available for quite some time.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it takes a 3ghz CPU + NV25 to really max Sacrifice out in the most detailed levels possible w/tons of creatures everywhere (even then, I'm not so sure). http://forums.voodooextreme.com/smile.gif

Still more powerfull machines will simply continue to drive the FPS up.

God only knows what kind of machine it would take to run Sacrifice with absolute maximum structure, creature, widget & FX density, w/all items at max detail @ 2048x1280x32bit @ > 100FPS w/3d glasses!

If you only knew what the editor will really allow if pushed to the max, you would know just what an absolutely insane prospect I just outlined. http://forums.voodooextreme.com/biggrin.gif
