New gaming rig

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.coh (More info?)

Just placed my order for a new gaming laptop. I can't wait to play
City of Heroes at full graphics throttle.

These are the specs:
Pentium 4 540 w/HT 3.2 GHz
1 GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 533 MHz
7700 NVIDIA GeForce 6800 256MB


Doesn't ship until Feb 7 so I have a few weeks to wait.

This should also eliminate the irritating disconnects. I think they're
related to my current sluggish machine.

What do you guys think. Will CoH scream on this machine?

I feel nice when I built my system more than a year ago (13 months) and
it's comparable to the one you posted (3.0GHz, 1GB dual channel memory,
but I went cheap and bought a 128MB video card, might change it this
year).
You made the right choice on going Nvidia btw

So the question begs: how is CoH running on your machine? Are you able
to set details to 100%? I've got everything tuned down on my current
machine and I still get FPS hell now and then.

It should run very well. I'm running with 768 MB DDR 166 MHz
memory, 1.5 GHz Athlon, and a GeForce 5200FX, and it runs
suitably well. I use the default resolution and settings. You
should be able to turn resolution and details up and get similar
performance.

Yup, if you want cheap & nasty, definitely NVidia, now & always >;-p

Sometimes I just want it to stay saved! You know, for a little bit?
