Out of curiosity, Id like to compare my computer's specs (Since now I know how to check it) to a computer that can load Tara o3o

Also, Im curious if internet/ISP affects it

I definitely posted how to get to dxdiag (specs) in the other thread.

Also, whether you can load Tara or not even if you have good specs seems to be hit or miss. Why not just try it out yourself?

I know, didnt upload picture yet.

And I've tried to load Tara, I just wanted to compare with another. I just wanted to see something

eh, looks pretty nice to me.

Then again, I guess I don't know anything about pc specs HURR.

Internet doesn't affect it (from Australia, I can still fairly easily get in)

Another reason why I wanted to compare is because I don't know what defines a "Good" PC.

So it's strictly a performance issue?

I can load Tara just fine--sometimes I d/c upon entering too though, hit or miss on that.

mine's definitely lower than yours, so you should be fine.

Internet could affect it to a noticeable degree. I find it a lot easier to get it at 3AM than 7 PM.

The theory going around now (can't link, it's on a mod site) is that access time has something to do with it, and people comparing specs and being confused aren't comparing drive access times. A laptop on a 5400RPM PATA drive is likely to have a harder time loading than a desktop on a 7200RPM SATA.

Also, as for RAM, mabi cannot use more than 2-3GB period.
