Mind, just bought the latest round of "Cossacks" (http://www.cossacks.de)
which needs 2GB of disk space to install, 768MB and 128MB graphics are only
just adequate to run it, on a 1.9GHz athlon.
bloody big softare.
interestingly, their minimum spec is 512MB/64MB - I tried it on this machine
with a 64MB graphics card, and all I can say is I'd hate to try and run it
on the minimum spec machine they claim it'll run on. I reckon this one
could do with more ram, really - trouble is, 's one of these modern mobos
with only 2 ram slots, so upping the ram means removing 256MB that's already
there, and substituting something else - in which case, there's hardly any
point in getting one less than 1GB, which are about 50+ quid ATM.

1.9Ghz, 786Meg? Why are you running such antiquated hardware? Treat
yourself to a new pc
:D

PS. Mine has 1.5Gb in it, and still one slot spare......

bloody thing *was* new, not long ago. and the board will take faster CPUs,
I suspect. what are Semprons?

the sempron replaces the Athlon XP socket A processor (it has a smaller
second level cache in its new 64 bit Socket 939 guise ) but in
benchmarks it seems to make a little difference have a look at http://www23.tomshardware.com/index.html for comparisons

If Martyn is putting XP Pro anywhere near Grumble I will drown
laughing in a puddle of my own piss. I suspect he will be doing
something Linux based - probably a stripped down kernel or summat.

Oooh! Bitchy!
For your information it originally came with 2x512, but I "obtained"
another 512 and slotted it in.
According to the manual:
The max on the m/b is 3Gb, despite having 4 slots (?)
Only 512meg modules are supported, 1gb is not listed as supported.
Also interestingly, the motherboard (Gigabyte, Nforce2) seems quite
happy to support Dual-Channel with three DIMMS in....
However, to achieve the full 3Gb with Dual-Channel requires the
installation of 2x512 and 2x1Gb. Fitting 3x1Gb will halve the bus
bandwidth.....

hmmm. might just want a bigger athlon, then... :-) 's a bit like V8s, you
always want a bigger one...

What? After it failed to work once and Martyn borrowed an MBT to run it over
with?
