I got a new PC on Tuesday and this has slowed things down a little bit as I've spent a couple of evenings this week seeing just how stupidly fast it is. This is what I went for in the end:
- GIGABYTE GA-965P-DQ6 motherboard
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU (the X6800 would have been nice, but I couldn't really justify spending over £700 on a processor :)
- Corsair Twin2X2048-6400C4 (2GB pair of 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
- GIGABYTE GV-3D1-7950-RH GeForce 7950 GX2
- 400GB Western Digital WD4000KS Caviar SE16 (Amusingly its 16MB cache is almost as large as the first hard drive I had on the Amiga :)
I've got it all hooked up to my Dell 2405fpw and it's awesome. It's nice to finally be able to play games at the 2405's native 1920x1200 resolution without it chugging along :D
-StrmnNrmn

skater9269: I haven't decided what I'm going to work on for R8. R7 is faster but I think a lot more work needs doing here.
ReplyDeletexiringu: The Amiga was a fantastic machine. If Daedalus didn't require so much work I'd love to get involved with the psp port of UAE.
ryanmwolfe: It will take a little bit of time away from Daedalus as I move my development environment over to the new pc. Once it's set up it should be nicer for me to develop with though.
imtiaz: It's looking like it's going to be Sunday now. The speed is a lot better with R7, but I still have a long way to go. Don't work - there are still lots of things I can improve, it just takes time :)
disturbd1: I've not heard anything about psxp, but I've not been checking many news sites for the past couple of weeks. Got a link?
Can't wait to play the emu!!!!! If it's possible it would be awesome if it could come out today!
ReplyDeletekersplatty: It depends on the rom - I think you'll be pleased, but you'll have to wait to try it out :)
ReplyDeletewally*won_kenobie: I could have done that but I've never really been a Mac kind of guy. I do really like the look of the MacBook Pros though :)
geekpie: 1.11TB is crazy :) The motherboard has 8 SATA channels and 2 RAID controllers so I was thinking about buying a bunch of 200GB disks and hooking up a nice RAID array. I'm not quite sure what I'd do with all that storage though...
strmn i dont know if you have tried but if you get into super smash brothers vs mode u can get into the level and the camera moves and the start pause camera works but part of the course and your charecter is invisible so do you know what causes this.thanks.
ReplyDeleteI wish it would get released today!
ReplyDeleteWhy doesnt golden eye work!

heres the source forge site where StrmnNrm released it first last time!
Ahhhhhhh, i've just been sitting at my computer reloading the page again and again! Please release it soon Strmnrmn!
ReplyDeleteActually I think it's gonna be about 50-70% faster.
ReplyDeleteWell we know it will be definetely over 30% fast because Strmnrmn told ud about 2-3 weeks ago thats how fast he has got it. He also told me that Mario Kart is going 13 fps in 150cc, when it used to only be going 5-7 fps. That's about a 100% speed increase. And Mario Kart in R6 in time mode went about 13-17 (I even got it to go 23.1 fps on time.) So maybe that will also double in fps about 100%.
ReplyDeleteNope, well strmnnrmn mostly posts at 3-4 PM on his clock. Right now it is 9:30 AM on his clock.
ReplyDeleteYou know someone with the Halo source code? Might be possible if yes, otherwise seriously doubtfull.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you guys really need to do something other than sit there refreshing the page, surely you have something more constructive to do? Like learning to program so you can be as famous as StrmnNrmn ;-)
I am very tempted to go with a very similar setup myself.
ReplyDeleteThe Conroe's overclock very well indeed, and the Gigabyte boards are a great choice for this. I hear people are getting 3GHz+ speeds (by upping the FSB) without a hitch.
Have you tried this yet? It definitely sounds like you have the ideal setup to give it a whirl!
