F1rst!1!
Depending on how much the freelance coding pays me, I may be able to move up the timetable. Looks like I just need a slightly bigger hard drive, a bit more RAM, & a slightly better vid card.

I'm running an XP 2100 with 1 GB RAM and a GeForce 6800. Runs very smooth, for the most part. An Athlon 64 3500 is on it's way with 1 GB RAM and a GeForce 7800. I'll let you know if there's a difference.
Biggest thing I've noticed with EVE is that it has a HUGE memory leak. I leave my task manager open and monitor its memory use. When it hits about 500MB, it starts getting choppy when there's alot of action. At 750+ it's damn near unplayable. Shut down EVE and restart it (not reboot) and it's back down to 150MB and smooth as silk. I always restart at about 500 because if I wait too long, EVE takes forever to shut down or stops responding while shutting down. But then, maybe that's just me. I'd be interested to hear if others experience this.

Well, that solves the Stabber problem!! hehe Just kill all the little guys and run.Cake, that DOES work.
Since you logged off... It counted as me stealing for all the ones that you did solo
By Sunday though, I'm betting Gordo will be ready to ride along and we'll be able to take the Stabbers. I'll have beefed up my ship by then as well. Will definately have heavy missles.
A memory leak? You gotta be fist-fucking me. How long between reboots on average?I'm running an XP 2100 with 1 GB RAM and a GeForce 6800. Runs very smooth, for the most part. An Athlon 64 3500 is on it's way with 1 GB RAM and a GeForce 7800. I'll let you know if there's a difference.

I may just sift off the gigs of music I got onto the laptop I'm getting. That'd free up significant HD space. Probably'll get up to a gig o' RAM. Mayhaps a GeForce4 to tide me o'er whilst I attempt to earn more cash. Major machine upgrades'll probably have to wait.
