The idea for this poll was taken from the RCE thread and I liked the idea of finding out the diversity of systems uot there running this glorious game.

Hey, your poll didn't give me an option for 384 mb of RAM. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

RAM is a tough one as some people arbitrarily add RAM to a pre-configured system (which, by the way, is a bad thing) ending up with 96, 192, and, yes like you Imperator Fyron, 384. I decided to use the standard numbers, but probably should have put in an "other" choice.

Just choose what's closest to yours.

Anyway, put in a vote for each system.

EDIT - I really have to remember to use that preview button.

Ya, I have it on three different computers, but it only lets each user vote once, and only once in each catagory.

PS - It kind of makes sense though, so you won't have people stacking the poll.

Preconfigured systems usually suck anyways. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif My computer has been built nearly from the ground up, so that odd value of RAM really isn't a bad thing for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

EDIT - Which is to say that I just recieved an RCE because I am working on my Corrian race files and I put something in there that I shouldn't have which caused an RCE.

aye..that why I gave the condition...MOD has new stuff (abilities, etc) that may throw in some craziness....my checking seems to indicate the design minister is culprit...

games in regular gold, tdm-gold, devnull gold are stable as a rock....

Alienware precon systems are supposed to be good, but I have never tried them. I myself would rather build a computer from scratch anyhow
