My first EQ PC was a https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Presario_5460

Which had a slowish frame rate but burned in my firzt permanent neriak and qeynos memories to my brain.

First pc was a pent 75 with a turbo botton that bumped it up to p125 with a intergraded vid card, 64 meg of ram(i think) 32.2 modem. It took me near 7 min to zone, people would think i left the group when wed zone because itd take me near 14 min to zone from a train and zone back. Good thing i maind a Necro so id just fd instead of zone.

Current pc is a bit older aswell, quad core 2.5gz, 1060 vid card, 16 gig ram. Just upgraded to my first sshd which im loven. Still lag when on a free server and maken a mega train threw plain of disease =P

For Live: Some Compaq Pentium2 333. A few gigs of RAM, Voodoo 3 vid card, 56K dial up modem.
For P99: My computer is a Dell Latitude E6430 (7 yo Dell work laptop) I use just the laptop and a mouse, no other accessories lol.

This, but a Pentium 200mmx, I threw a 12meg voodoo2 card in it to run EQ. It chugged on its 32 megs of ram but I upgraded it to 96MB and load times were tolerable.

Still only got like 10fps in unrest. That was a real dog of a zone.

Gotta be the first to load in zones to get that guise / manastone, right?

These pics of these older computers are glorious, keep posting them please.

Newer computer components/towers are such an eyesore, why does everything need to have bright neon lights and Xtreme in the name?

Oh man...

In 2000-2003, a Celeron 533 in a HP Pavilion. No graphics card, intel onboard graphics...the trees in Warslik's Woods all had texture issues, literal hell trying to navigate. 256 MB of RAM.

2003 outta high school having taken some IT classes, built an AMD "Barton" 2500+ with a GeForce Ti 4200 and 2.5 GB of RAM. Played a ton of Battlefield 1942, PlanetSide 1, and FFXI. Did some new EQ live expansions up 'til Prophecy of Ro.

Presently I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 with a RX 5700 XT with a 3440x1440 Ultrawide, it's nice to have P99 EQ in a 4:3 1600x1200 Window with classwork or media/browser on the rest of this display. Waiting for Pantheon / Cyberpunk 2077 / DOOM(II) 2019!

McCoy, love that machine -- those Epson (?) two-in-one 3.5/5.25 drives for a single slot are nice, I really need to get one for my DOS machines.

How do people remember this shit? Sometimes I take a moment to recall my home phone when calling for delivery.

I'd say it's 'baked in memory' because you recall what you did with those machines very easily.
