2 Ghz P4
Geforce 4 128 mb
1 GB Ram
Win XP SP1

Experiencing some slowdowns when playing for an extended time, due to memory leaks, but otherwise it works pretty well in SL.

2.4GHz P4
Geforce4 4200 128MB
1GB DDR
WinXP (ack)
33.6K dialup :p
1152x864 desktop with 1024x768 AO window.

Since I installed SL I've had to turn off AA and texture sharpening, as it just runs far too slow otherwise. When a nano is being cast in my face the framerate really crawls.

1.2Ghz AMD Athlon
512 Mb Ram/133 mhz
Gforce4/4600 128mb
1Mbit ADSL connection

Works pretty well, but my cpu is going out. Will upgrade cpu and mobo as soon as my wallet says go :)
I run 1280x1024/32 in Window, with nano effects turned off and view dist set to lowish. That helps a lot.

Main PC
2100+ Athlon (If I remember right)
Ti4200 128MB
768 MB RAM
Raid Striped HD
64k ISDN

BUT I find myself sitting next to my wife and playing on the following now instead:

Company Laptop (sshhh, I dont play games on it honest!)
Inspiron 8500 with a 1900x1200 widescreen lcd panel (LOVELY! :))
Geforce 4 4200 64Meg (Ti4200 equiv)
512 MB RAM
64k ISDN

Virtually the same as my Main PC but the disk is a LOT slower and the 64MB video ram struggles a lot more. :(

I run in windowed mode at 1280x1024 with medium textures and nano effects. I really need to turn those effects off though. :)

Here's my Wonder machine

Ok here are the stats on my wonder machine

1.4+ Athlon
700'ish Ram/133
Dial-up/adsl (depends where i am. Dont have any connection at home. yet)
Gforce4 4600 something 128 MB ram

And yeah.. I use XP with SP1 too. (Blond, Remember??)

Ohh and i have to turn of Nano effects to run SL smoothly

*Takes a deep breath and grins :) *

AMD XP 1800 (Overclocked) @ 1.6GHz
768 MB of DDR on a 140MHz FSB
GeForce 4 Ti 4600 With 128MB of RAM
Two 80GB WD Harddrives in a RAID Stripe '0'
Cable Modem connection @ aprox 3Mbps
Run AO @ 1152x864 Full Screen

I haven't played in SL enough to get a good feel for the probs.. but I can tell you that if there are a lot of players around and I look at the sky I chop a whole bunch. I've also noticed that if I'm running someplace I will get about half way, then reaper back where I started.

I'm going to unlock my processor so I may get it up to around 1.8Ghz. I don't worry about heat because I've got a water-cooled system. If anyone needs to see pictures, just let me know :wink:

Bandwidth for my cable connection was tested at http://www.2wire.com/

Still using my 2 year old (slightly upgraded) computer from work:

2 Ghz P4
1 GB SDRAM
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB
120 GB ATI HD
WinXP SP1a
Latest video drivers from ATI
850/384 Kbps ADSL

Performance:
RK: 1024 x 765 Window mode: OK'ish, but heavy lag in tower fights
SL: From Extremely Laggy (TM) in Jobe to OK'ish in the wilderness.

Conclusion: the AO client suxxors and needs a big re-write
