I have an 8 core running at 4ghz or slightly higher and I actually had to underclock it to 3.6 in order for eq to run, even with the multi-cpu fix etc if you are running over 4ghz you may need to underclock just to get it to work.

yeah only thing that matter for EQ at this point is hard drive so you can zone faster than your opponent.

and it doesnt even come with a SSD....

fuck man if he took my scraps for 199$ i could build him a pc thats going to run eq faster than that "thing" he bought.

Well, if you used parts from 10 years ago you would be running on shit that wasn't even conceived yet when this game was designed, lol.

Not sure I'd want a lot of people jacking around with RAM drives though.

my old parts were from 2 years ago...

Still can't believe everyone let poor innocent stasis buy this machine

were supposed to be a community

were supposed to be friends

were supposed to look out for each other

Nothing wrong with the machine other than it has an AMD.

Time=Money and while you may not highly value your time others do.

I value my time

that's why I play with a SSD

That is kinda what I'm saying though. The benchmarks are sorta meaningless for EQ (granted most people use their shit for more than EQ). Lets say the AMD benchmarks at 900 and the Intel at 1010, but 200 is all you need to run EQ without any processor related issues if you feelers what I'm tryin' to get at.

For EQ it's pointless. You wouldn't even need to SLI or Xfire for EQ. Just saying Intel doesn't always smoke AMD when it comes to gaming, sometimes AMD's clock allot higher than Intel benchmarks for gaming performance. But AMD's almost always require a very custom cooling system that often negates the cheaper cost of the CPU.

For a solely EQ computer I'd prolly go with whatever is cheaper and compare the benchmarks on equally priced computers. But yea I agree that for Eq it don't matter.

SSD has to have a very high read/write MB speed or it's gonna load zones at inferior to high GB ramdisk speeds. However raided SSD's result in almost instantaneous zone loading.
