So what's the average computer used for skinning?

So what's the average computer used for skinning?

If you were to ask what the TYPICAL system being used by people here it would go something like this:

A Pentium 3, 1Ghz machine with a Geforce 2 level card running at 1024x768.

The number of people running at less than 600mhz was roughly the same as the number of people running over 2ghz.

The highpoint was somewhere around 1Ghz with it possibly being slightly higher.

Does anyone have any data on what the typical machine used by the general population is? It would make an interesting comparison.

I wonder how many people would actually be using an Athlon/Duron rather than a Pentium . . .

And now I'm curious when we had a thread dredged up more than eleven years dead...

kryo .... yes ....when I think about it again this one might just be the .... um .... deadest ever.

There have been 'older' threads....but their second coming was also years ago so the time-left-dead may have been less...;)

The box I'm on now, my "lounging" machine, before I gutted it for its case had an 1800 XP in it and 256 MBs of RAM. It was probably a fine rig when this thread was started. o_O It still worked but....seriously.  The custom case is unique and was all I wanted to use from it. I upgraded it a bit with the innards from an eMachines T3104 w/Sempron3100+/1.5GBs DDR3200, an FX5200 GFX card and a 100GB HDD It sits in the living room as a media center/browser and runs XP HP. Laugh all you want, but it is actually a solid, reliable machine. It runs 24/7.  All the Stardock goodies (and some great skins) on it keep the ugly off of it. ;)

Main rig: Windows7/8

AMD 9850BE Quad Core

EVGA 450GTS

8GBs DDR2 RAM @800MHz

600 watt PSU

120GB OCZ SSD (OS)

640 GB WD HDD

250GB Maxtor HDD

CoolerMaster Centurion 5 case.

CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 CPU cooler

Card reader

Front mounted 5 fan controller

It hasn't been on much lately, no free time, so the old relic is my "go to" box.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the pity post on specs.

Guess I lose. My machine is little.

 

I was looking for a skin name and searched the name Latitude, and this old post came up on the page. So, only half my fault!

 

Good news is, It sounds now as if I am the master dredger upper, cool.Thanks again those who shared, the rest of you, see you when you have expired.DT1

Man, you guys going online or hacking satellites!

Nice PC's, better and cheaper than marriage, usually last longer and offer more enjoyment too.
