Hey folks,

I've heard a lot about Black Prophecy lately and that you will definetely need a big rig for that. How do your rigs look like? I would like to have some specs for orientation. Please lemme know your:

1. CPU
2. RAM
3. Hardrive Space
4. Graphics Adapter
5. Motherboard type
6. Operating system
7. Peripherals (Gamepad, joystick, etc.)

And what have you paid for that overall? Maybe I can get my GF to take a share and I'll let her play Second Life in exchange. LOL!

well, as long as BP is not released in any way (Beta or final), it's difficult to give an advice for hardware.

I personally hope, that BP will run on my (little bit expensive) notebook:

1. CPU: Dual Core Intel CPU T2500 2 GHz (suppose it's a "Centrino Duo")
2. RAM: 2 GB
3. Hardrive Space: 100 GB total, divided into 4 Partitions (one for Games)
4. Graphics Adapter: Intel Chip (for energy saving) and an Nvidia GForce Go 7400 with TurboCache and SUpport for 128MB Ram (supposed: shared Memory) (i may choose which will be active before boot)
5. Motherboard type: Don't know, it's a notebook :)
6. Operating system: Windows XP SP3
7. Peripherals: Just a simple optical Mouse

For more Details see: Sony VAIO VGN-SZ2XP (http://vaio.sony.de/view/ShowProduct.action?product=VGN-SZ2XP%2FC&productFilters=retired&site=voe_de_DE_cons&pageType=Overview&category=VN+SZ+Series)

Cost round about 2000 - 2500 Euro, don't know the exact price .. buyed it round about 1,5 Years ago.

Neocron, WoW, FarCry, MaxPayne2 are running fine on it.

BUT - We don't know, what demands BP will have!!! Therefore i do not know, if BP will run on it.

My current system is nearly 3 years old, had a few upgrade over the years, but is still a good system for it's age, it plays Farcry 2 very well (Except the shadows look a little crap)

1. AMD 64 4600+ X2
2. 2GB
3. 800GB total
4. NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT
5. Asus A8N-E
6. Windows XP SP3
7. Keyboard and Mouse

Price... About £800 3 years ago from memory.

I have the same laptop as Zefrian with different specs: Sony Vaio SZ90PS,

1. CPU: Dual Core Intel CPU T2500 2.18 GHz
2. RAM: 2 GB
3. Hardrive Space: 120 GB total divided / ext3 70gb linux/ ntfs 10gb WXP / vfat photos 36Gb / vfat 2gb drivers for laptop for WXP in case I want WXP back... never and about a 512Mb ext2 for /boot
4. Graphics Adapter: Intel Chip & an Nvidia GForce Go 7400 with TurboCache and Support for 128MB Ram
5. Motherboard type: Intel / Phoenix BIOS (custom from Sony with VT locked out... pah)
6. Operating system: Ubuntu 8.04 / hardy
7. Peripherals: Sony optical mouse / unfolds into a USB telephone for Skype etali.

However, I intend to buy a Sony Vaio type-Z when all the Linux drivers are available for the new gfx card.

If Black Ph., won't run in Wine then I won't play it. Although, I doubt that I will stop playing NC.

Gaming PC

1. 386 Overclocked @ 76 mhz
2. 8 meg ram
3. 128 mb Harddrive
4. Voodoo vga adapter
5. MSI
6. Win'95
7. iPhone

Server

1. E6400 @ 2.6
3. 2 Gigs DDR2
4. 8600gt
5. AsRock (XD)
6. XP (best OS money can buy)
7. iPhone

To be fair, about 10 months ago, I would have probably upgraded this trash to some rediculous spec (server pc) but my current lack of gaming interest over the past few months means I probably will hardly touch any new games again! :)
Gaming PC is uber solid though, runs NC as smooth as silk on 800x600, its just a shame I can't justgo out and buy a 17 inch for it, thats all its really lacking.
