Mine is
2.2Gig Athlon XP
AOpen AK77-8XN mobo 400 fsb
512MB PC2700 333 (running at 400mhz)
Radeon FDX8500LE 64MB
Sony TFT 15"
also have the limiting effect of a TFT monitor (60hz) therefore just a steady 59fps in AH if i run with no full screen ant-aliasing.If i use 2x Antroscopic and 4xsmoothvision(tm) basically same as 2xfull screen AA(maybe even 3x or 4x AA) I get from anywhere from 39 to 59 FPS depending on map and how many aircraft are present.
If you dont know what AA is, the difference between AAoff and AAon is imense visually!. Instead of those garish jagged edges to all the straight lines like the outlines of buildings or wings you get a blended look which softens the colours, sort of blends it in in realtime.In 1024x748 it means everything looks much nicer and since my system never seems to drop below 39fps or so, its a good trade off.
The only thing is I bought the TFT hoping it would be fast enough in refresh for AH but i'd have to say i wish I had spent a little more and got the 75Hz or newer even faster refreshing TFT's.
basically i Bought it because it was so easy to move and took up much less room and i loved the vibrant colours and they are much better for your eyes(no flicker).I saw the 60hz speed and guessed it would be ok. Its fine but its not Great. Id recommend TFT as a purchace but get a faster than 60Hz refresh rate. I still dont regret buying it though.The size to me seems to feel the same as my old normal 17" monitor. Judging by this id say a 17" TFT would look much larger.
Im looking forward to AH2.If it needs more power then its ok as i soon intend to buy a new card but i have VOWED never to spend more than £200 on a card.This means i need a £200 or less card that makes a leap forward over the one i have else i wont bother. If anyone knows of a card let me know(£200 is probably @$290?,guessing).
also Id be happy to upgrade to 1024MB of memory. (@£60)
If it needs more then im screwed
