For those beta testing what are your system specs

February 9, 2005 1:53:30 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Ok I expect to get my income tax refund here in about a week. I just can not escape the lure of beta testing this game Having beta tested a few other games I do not even mind paying for it as unlike others once this goes gold then I am in without having to buy it all over again. I dont have much free time so playing online sometimes is not an option but a couple hours a night or every other of a stand alone game I can manage Helping hammer out the bugs and refine what should be a hot game is just too tempting. And you know I think this development team is listening unlike a certain metal based company that we wont mention Ok that was not fair, I think the overlord company forced them to push it out, so lets support the small guys so that EA doesnt eat everything.

ANYWAY, back on subject if your going to beta test what system are you planning on using? If there is another thread buried on this then I apologize in advance!

My own prime toy:

AMD 2400m chip overlocked to 3ghz (mach 1 phase cooling)
epox 8rda+ NF2 motherboard, volt moded, fan moded
onboard soundstorm and nic chip
1 gig of pc 3200 ddr ram (1 512 stick, 2 256 sticks)
9800 ati pro (also overclocked) with a artic3 silencer
2 120gb 8mb cache wd drives.
WinXP Pro- Has its own dedicated partition drive, programs go to another, and games acutally only run on the second physical drive

I also have a beater machine/ server. Its an older AMD Anthalon 1ghz. Its got a 40gb drive, i think a geforce 2 video, soundblaster live, and win 98.

Once I get the beta I will test it on both heh.

It seems like some of you would be ready to play three or four games of GalCiv at once on a single computer
