Thanks fellas, let's keep 'em coming everyone else.

Also, what's your next upgrade and when?

Oh yeah, here's my main specs (I have to use a few different machines).

CPU:Athlon 650 (FIC motherboard).

RAM:256mb

VIDEO:ELSA Erazer x2 (32 mb ddr geforce)

AUDIO: SB Live Platinum w/live drive (very cool for audio recording).

HD: 25gb (?? manufacturer).

MON:19" CTX (cheap, but nice).

OS:win98

WHATEVER:CDRW 24x4x4, DVDRAM (kinda slow, but very nice storage), Elsa Revelator wireless 3d glasses (AMAZING for Sacrifice!!!)

Note: anyone considering a vid upgrade, the geforce cards make a _very_nice_ impact on Sacrifice's framerate.

Although, with the NV15 and Voodoo 5000 coming in less than a month ...

BTW I also plan on setting up a p2 300 w/TNT1 at home for playtesting. Just to make sure I don't get too carried away adding detail.

April 16th, 2000 11:02 AM

CPU: P3 550e @ 770
RAM: 128 mb cheap ram
HD: 13 gb ATA66 7200 rpm Maxtor
VIDEO: Creative GeForce DDR
SOUND: Vortex 2
OS: Win98 SE
MONITOR: 17" Viewsonic GF775 0.24 dpi
MOUSE: Cordless Mouseman Pro
MOUSEPAD: Everglide Giganta
MOTHERBOARD: Tyan s1854 (Apollo Pro 133a)

Next Upgrades:

Video: VERY likely will be a Voodoo5 5500, I was impressed with the FSAA, but I'll wait and see what NVidia has on the table... Having a hardware site, I'll be able to test both though

OS: I'll likely upgrade to WinME when it is released, IF it is faster and more stable. I am NOT worried about the user-friendly stuff they are adding.

RAM: I want to replace the cheap CAS3 PC100 SDRAM I have... I can't get to 150 MHz FSB with this crap
