what PC you use

[Erlic]

what pc you use to move around in sl
mine is a pentium3 933mhz
geforce 2 gts 64 mb
1 gig ddr
working with dsl
and it seems it isnt enough

[Nusse]

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.

[Flameforge]

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.

[Cogs]

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.

[rahmorak]

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.

[HealerKat]

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

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
