If you're a PC gamer or would be interested in playing a game on your PC, this test is for you. I'm still working out the test, so I apologize for its current deficiencies. Comments and suggestions are very welcome. I'm conducting this because I became interested in finding out after Iron Draggon's thread. I'm also conducting it here, if you want to see how that's coming along. Only respond to one thread, please
Taking inspiration from Valve's Hardware Survey, I've been wondering what sort of systems our Forumers game on. If you would be so kind, list a few statistics for me (only as much as you wish), and I'll see if we can't get any sort of good statistics out of it:
Use System Requirements Lab to get these statisics. Easy, painfree, and requires just a small download.
1) Date of your system (if it's an off-the-shelf brand like Dell, Alienware, or eMachines, to name a few).
2) Video card, and rough date of introduction (if you can find that)
3) Type and amount of RAM
4) Type of CPU, speed, cache
5) Speed of internet connection (for dialup, your connection speed should be shown) and provider. Use this test: here
6) Size of hard drive, and free hard drive space
7) Removable drive media: CD-ROM, DVD, just floppies, or nothing? Just tell us what the biggest medium, of these four, available to you is. Don't offer any other choices, and the speed isn't relevant.
