I've a 3.0GHZ quad core system coming tomorrow and I suspect/hope you'll not be far behind me

Ooh, mod heaven compared to mod soup - then we expect to see your mod list, not your son's from Dec!

Well you just never know

It will be far easier to determine what won't work with what because of an actual conflict instead of the old chestnut "have I simply overloaded the systems capabilities"?

That's a hard one to answer without running the risk of mixed responses....but the simple truth is I salted a sum of money away a couple of years ago in preparation for the day when the upgrade/replacement became inevitable.

The system arriving tomorrow is not top of the range actually:

AMD 64 Phenom2 Quad Core 945+ - 3.0 GHZ
8 GIG DDR3 RAM - 1333mhz
2x500GIG SATA2 Drives
ASUS M4N68T Motherboard
Integrated 16 Bit 7.1 Sound
1GB ATI Radeon HD5750 PCI Express
W7 (not sure if it's Home or Ultimate)

I'm currently looking at a newer/more powerful chip set/system than the one above for a backup that won't be used for SH work but other more powerful games in the near future, therefore negating the need to having to constantly run registry scans etc. between mod testing.

Sadly, Neal is now running the site from a cardboard box underneath a highway overpass just outside the I-610 Loop.

Still got them hence the second system already in the pipeline

But what is this 'other games', surely SH3 is you life, there is no game other than SH3

I'm looking at branching out to whatever comes onto the market next without having to check system specs for a year at least.

Yeah, I'm looking into something like Arma II at the minute

I just recently bought a MacBookPro laptop..

I'm wondering if it will be OK to run either SHIII or SH4..

Specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo
2.4GhZ Processer Speed
L2 Cashe: 3Mb
4GB of Memory
Nvidia GeForce 320M

Specs seem fine for it, but I think you'll need some other software to run a windows-based game on a mac. Somebody has mentioned it elsewhere recently but I'm struggling to find it, even with Captcha removed!

Use Bootcamp to set up a separate windows partition.
(Bootcamp comes as standard as part of your OS).
Specs seem fine.
Mine are very similar, and I can run SH3 and 4 + tons of mods just fine.

Thats one thing I am looking forward to myself tomorow. Now I just have to get to a store and hope they sell the RAM I need in this town.
