Ryzom

Gaming rig I built last fall:

Case: Lian-Li PC-61 black mid-tower
PSU: Enermax EG465P-VE FM 460W
Motherboard: Asus K8V SE Deluxe "WI-FI", chipset VIA K8T800/VT8237
Processor: AMD socket 754 Athlon 64 3000+
Memory: 1GB DDR400 Kingston ram
GPU: MSI Radeon RX9800 XT
Hard Drive(s): Two 74gb WD 10,000rpm Raptor SATA in RAID 0 config
Optical Storage: Lite-On 8x DL DVD-+ RW burner
B/U Optical Storage: Lite-On Combo 16xDVD/52xCD drive
Audio: Onboard AC'97
Network Card: Onboard Gigabit
Operating System: Windows XP Home SP2
Monitor: Samsung S/M 753DF 17" CRT (kept over from my last pc)
Keyboard: Logitech Cordless LX700
Mouse: Logitech Optical LX700
Headphones: Sony MDR-V150
Speakers: Altec Lansing VS4121 31w 2.1 channel speaker system (kept over from my last pc)

I've been very happy with its performance so far. I get about 45 to 65 fps on Ryzom with all the eye candy turned on @ 1280 X 768 resolution @ 75mhz. I don't seem to have encountered a game that really taxes my system yet except for maybe the Star Troopers demo. People ask me why I don't upgrade my monitor because its hard to find a new one with as good as picture as mine. If it aint' broke why fix it.

edit: should be able to read my post better now lol.

got my current pc since summer '03 and am happy with it:

P4 HT 3GHz
1GB Kingston mem, DDR400
2x80gb Maxtor IDE, 7.2krpm harddisks
HIS Excalibur x800 IceQ-II graphics card
onboard gigabit, DLink wirelessLAG card 802.11b/g
Superflower 550W PSU
some fancy casemod stuff (sidewindow, neon strings, uv coldlight cathode, etc.)
a silver->black sprayjob on the case, featuring a dragon on the sidepanel now

runs ryzom steady between 20 and 60ish fps, fast enough to capture vids with fraps while playing without any major slowdowns.

[slightly OT]
seeing that rrwfreak mentioned headphones: if someone of you plans to get a new headset, go for a usb one! they integrate into your system as a new sound-device. you'll hear voice-chat via headset, game sound via normal speakers (freely configurable of course so you can have both on the speakers or the headset if you want)

Might as well join in and add my pc specs

Case: Coolermaster Wavemater
PSU: Thermaltake 420W
Motherboard: Gigabyte 8KNXP
CPU: P4 3.2 (older chipset)
Ram: 1.5gb
Video: Power color Ati X800 pro (256mb)
3 sata hdd 120gb 200gb 300gb (bought only last week)
2 cd drive one cdrw the other dvd reader.

apart from the occasional bios problem when installing windows not that i have to do that often it works perfectly.
as for being built to play ryzom it was built to play pretty much anything. Ryzom -max graphics works well the only issue is when you get an event with 50+ players

bandwidth problems are no concern this game works well over dialup (56k - has been tested by a friend)
