SH3 and Our Computers

[fabel]

Amd64 2800+
512 mb ddr ram
ati radeon 9250 128 mb

This runs Silent Hunter 3 smooth, the only thing I would like to improve is the memory to 1024 mb.

[Letum]

AMD 'A' Socket 3000+
ATI Radeon x1600
1.5GB RAM
Onboard AC97 sound

Convoy battles at ~32Fps and ~7FPS at x32 TC

CPU: AMD Athlon 3500+
MB: Asus M2N-E AM2 socket

GPU: Asus EAX1950Pro (ATI Radeon X1950Pro) 256 MB
HDD: Samsung 250 GB SpinPoint 7200
Music card: Hercules Muse XL

Works fine with 1280x1024 resolution.

512mb RAM
256MB ATI 9600
250 Gigs HDD
a off the shelf system of the year 2004

runs good

I had to go with what I could afford:

Pentium 4 3 Gig
512MB RAM
160 Gig hard drive
ATI video card (don't remember what type)
Onboard sound

It runs okay, and I've had a lot of fun. Job first. Apartment next. Upgrades third. GWX fourth. SH4 fifth. Then I'll probably need a new system.

My specs for a 2 year old computer I built... my first homebuilt

Intel P4 3.2E (stock not oc'd)
Asus P4P 800E-Deluxe
XFX GF6800XTreme 256mb DDR3 RAM, 256 bit
2gigs PC3200 DDR Ram (2-512 sticks matched RAM/gig)
Maxtor SATA 120gig HDD
Thermaltake Xaser v1000A case

Now a question.
Is it possible to use SATAII with the Asus P4P 800E-Deluxe motherboard? I want to go to a 200gb Maxtor SATAII HDD I found today. Price of $79.00 on sale that I can't pass up. I was told by the manager that if the connections with SATAII are the same as SATA it could be possible, but he wasn't sure.

[Deep-Six]

I found this on the Asus website. And will answer your question;

Intel is the world's first chipset maker to integrate Serial ATA (SATA) and RAID 0, 1 functions into the South Bridge. The latest ICH5R chipset now delivers 150MB/s fast data transfer (SATA) and striping performance to enhance computing efficiency.

BTW,I am using a hdd w/ SATA2 and made no changes to the hdd.

It works just fine.

It doesn't matter because no hard drive uses the full bandwidth of SATA 1. I think the WD Raptors get close, but still.

@ elite_hunter_sh3: I hate you. You put all of our computers to shame, even mine.
