What system do you run Oolite on?

I don't know if anyone ever did a poll on what sort of systems we've got. Are you playing on a new system, pc or mac? Vote here. I do this to give the developers a clear view of the user base of Oolite.

I play on a Vista media notebook with 2 gig RAM, dual-core 2.4 GHz and a graphics card that`s supposed to be quite good, it being a media laptop.

Some of us run real operating systems which support 4 (or 32) GB of RAM, y’know. :-)

It’s really a moot question, though. Oolite’s hardware requirements are going down, not up.

I run Oolite on :

Pentium 4 3 Ghz, 1Gb Ram, Nvidia 6800GT graphics, Ubuntu 8.04. Performance is generally ok. This is just over 5 years old.

I used to run it on a 900 Mhz Pentium 3 laptop, but it can't cope with anything beyond v1.65

Cheers,

Drew.

Athlon XP2800+, 1GB Dual Channel PC3200, 128MB FX5900XT, nforce2 mobo, Ubuntu 7.10 and XP, built from spare parts so have no idea how old PC actually is (average age of parts is probably about 6 years old!)

I'm just on the cusp of the 4 year mark - my main machine is a Dell Inspiron 5160 laptop with 768MB Ram, Intel P4 1.8MHz, 40Gb HDD, NVidia GeForce 2 32MB onboard.

It runs XP Home and is occasionally dual-booted with Ubuntu. I'll be cleaning it up soon so will be running XP Pro SP3 and am planning to have the facility to run Ubunto from a USB flash drive. If I can convince the wife to release some funds I'll be trying to get up to 1GB RAM too...

Running on a Dell Latitude D630 with Intel Core Duo 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, Intel GM965 graphics chipset with the 6.14.10.4990 drivers, dated 11 September 2008 (this is a very important detail, as from this driver version onwards Intel supports OpenGL 2.0), WinXP SP2.

Yes I agree. Lower sys specs needed for Oolite= always better but still it's nice to know. Also for OXP makers. For example for my own oxp I need to know if the 256X256 pixel textures are stlll needed.

My specs:
my specs:

My main gaming machine is an AMD64 3000+ running Ubuntu (until recently 32-bit HardyHeron, currently in a flux as I'm trying to decide between 32 and 64-bit IntrepidIbex). Oh, it also dual-boots into Win98/WinXP for the X-BtF series.

1GiB RAM, SB Audigy2, and a Radeon 9600 pad out the relevant specs. So not high-end at all by today's standards.

For on-the-go development I use a Vaio TX47 running WinXP.
The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
