I'm using an Acer aspire 7741 Notebook Intel P6200 (2.13 Ghz) Dual Core Intel HD Graphics ( Avoid this like the plague!!! ) 4 GB DDR 3 Memory 17.3" HD LED monitor and a secondary 20" flat screen monitor to Dual Screen. Windows System 7 64-Bit Home Premium
The game runs great, and having the dual screens makes it convenient when multi-tasking in station. The only problem is the very persistant bug with the Intel HD graphics crashing when undocking or jumping gates. Otherwise, the Graphics are beautiful, and the system handles fleet fights without hessitation.

To comment on 32bit OS and sysinfo side program.
may be not the 32bit problem at all ! For a 32bit OS, the program would show 3.2 GB or even 2.9 Gb.
Now on to 64 bit. If you get 3.5 GB - possibly program is cheap and measures it in some 'unknown' values. Giga bytes, giga bits. Some cheap software, freeware may contain errors and report 'screwy' numbers.
Some programs list 3.5 GB that is available to Applications and software, the rest is reserved by OS and looks not available to the system monitor. A quality system info should list all three values separately and possibly more. Gigabytes, Giga bits, physical and available memory. |

I have to say that I agree with this.
I actually ordered and paid for an i5-2500K system, but the company messed up and decided to ship an i7-2600 instead.
And I decided on not to complain.

I DO NOT recommend it. It sounds like a Rolls-Royce merling engine and uses a lot of electricity.
What's a decent NVIDIA graphics card? I'm looking at GTX 460, but if/when CCP opens the Door in a year or two i'll probably need to upgrade again (open, disable Station Environment, sell new fancy graphics card)
I'm considering getting a new high-end laptop instead as i'm often on the road.
The RAM is because your using a 32 bit OS which can only address 4GB . It could be its using 512mb as cache therefore not seeing it as such. A decent GPU for low cost Id recommend a 560TI slightly more than a 460 but a 560 will run games such as Eve on maxed out settings full AA etc very well indeed. Even the more modern games on full settings at about 30 FPS which isnt bad for a card like that.
Thank you! The 560TI is only another $100 so i'll go for that. |

You don't buy entire PCs, that is a waste of money. You buy parts and assemble them together or ask a friend who can do that for you. As for what to get: Any processor with 4 cores or more. Go for amd, for gaming you don't need intel. Amd is cheaper and just as good. Get 4 gigs of ram. Cheapest one, paying more for faster ram, special cooling for ram is a rip-off - ram is the fastest part of your computer anyway and thus last thing you need to speed up. For graphics cards go for radeons. Money-to-power ration is better than with nvidia. Minimum is 6770, optimal 6870, but costs more. If money is no limit for graphics card, then go for nvidia 590 and **** ati. PSU: 800+W, get Tagan, CollerMaster or OCZ. Never ever buy cheap PSU - if cheap one fails, it kills your motherboards.Mobo: Asus mid-range. Ignore low-range priced, as they are ****, ignore overpiced mobos, as you are wasting money. |

Yeah it's a bit overboard but it helps with multitasking (outside of EVE too). @OP - if you can, go with a desktop you get a lot more performance for your money, also if you want even more value - piece together your own computer.

main pc:
2600k @5ghz (down a bit from what it was; don't want the cpu to die @1.55v right before it's retired off to corpmates) Gigabyte P67 UD7 Patriot VIper Extreme 2400mhz 8gb ram (not good for SB's memory controller, really, but fast) 3x GTX 580 (Tri-SLI) SSD Crucial (C300 era, needs an upgrade to an OCZ) 6x 2TB Caviar Blacks (12Tb storage; no RAID). 120hz BenQ gaming screen
In about a month it'll be pulled apart, handed out to corpmates and a hopefully Ivy Bridge/Kepler rig put together (very tempted to skip Ivy wait and just go SB-E though).
I like keeping ahead of Eve's engine and if you want all drones, effects, brackets, etc. on in a big fight, Eve is one of PC gaming's most demanding titles (and added to that Fraps during fights, multiple clients, etc.). High revving single-core CPU performance is still the most important aspect and the SLI part there is mostly for other games like Witcher 2 Ubersampling, rather than Eve (good, fast single gpu with lots of vram is usually the best for Eve).
Eve's a strange game though in the hardware sense; depending what you do in the game, there are many things you can just use an old laptop for and it'll work fine. |

RE: AMD vs Intel
Now this would depend entirely on your budget I feel.
At the high spec end the bulldozer 8 core seriously underperforms compared to intels 4 core offerings
Though if your looking to put a rig together on a budjet then an AMD may offer better value for money dependant on price range , benchmarks are your friend ;)
RE: Build vs Built
Is really about experience at the end of the day.
The company mentioned do a great video series on building which was useful to me as though I've played with hardware before I'd never built a rig ground up until this one.
Obviously if you don't want to build yourself you will have to pay a permium for someone elses expertise.
It's entirely a personal and relative decesion which is hard to give advice on without knowing more about you . ie are you a poor but dexterious student, or a rich and mechaniclly incompetent office worker.
YOU MUST THINK FIRST.... |

Jose Black wrote:Qin Shi Huang wrote:[..] 4 GB RAM (diagnostics tell me I only have 3.5 GB though ?!?) [..] The theoretical maximum for a 32bit OS is 4GB. In practice the computer uses 256 Mega up to a Gigabyte for IO address space depending on mainboard and its BIOS. The actual installed RAM above the remaining amount is not used, not even for caching because it can not be addressed by the OS. I'm running the game on a custom built machine (read: replacing one or the other part as soon as it bothers me) as follows: AMD Phenom II X4 940 (3GHz) 8GB DDR2 RAM (4x 2GB, Kingston) AMD Radeon HD 4870 512MB graphics 750W power supply 23 inch CRT, full HD resolution It's able to run 2 clients with pretty high settings, but I don't use antialiasing. Enabling it with 2 clients turns it into a slideshow and I bet it's way lacking graphics RAM then. The power supply leaves room for expansions, which are not planned ^^ . When Incarna hit 4GB apparently weren't enough to run 2 clients and a couple of other programs at the same time.
Or he has a core i3 which uses a built in Intel Graphics GPU. This takes up available RAM, and can be customized in the BIOS of your motherboard. I could be wrong, since I didn't see the OP for this person. But this came instantly to my mind.
My rig:
PS3 3D Display 24" Core i5 760 @ 2.8Ghz Corsair DDR3 XPS 16GB Corsair 120GB SSD Force Series GT (SATA III) 1 TB Caviar Black (SATA III) for storage eVGA 460 GTX GPU Classic fan cooled.
Not spectacular, but runs everything I need it to nicely. EvE on an SSD is very nice. I highly recommend it.

I researched the components, ordered them, recieved them, put each together with my own hands, Installed all the software and tested the whole rig......................and I honestly couldn't tell you WTF is in the thing now. I hope that helps you with your purchase.
edit: It all came from Tigerdirect.com and Newegg.com, though. In past comps, Ebay, Radioshack, and literally the shopping center dumpster(behind the Radioshack) all played a part as well. |

actually it depends on the situation too, carebear? small fleet? blobfleet?
carebear i would say an I3 does fine with lets say an AMD 5450, or nvidia 550, and 2 gigs of ram.
small fleet, up it to a 5670 or an nvidia 560
for blob fights, do you want playable or smooth? for playable i use a phenom X4 at 3800mhz (cores dosnt matter for eve tho...) and an ati 5870, and with 1000 man fights it gets to run at about 10 to 15 fps with down spikes.)
so for smooth i would say an I5 or I7 at about 4500 mhz or 5000 mhz even and maybe SLI or Crossfire with ati 5970 or nvidia 590.
given EVE single core nature, it actually chokes the CPU quite ******* often no matter how beefy is it. |
