Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeysie" data-source="post: 3628572" data-attributes="member: 51817">boB: I don't mind answering, although I have to admit the answers may not be helpful.I'm currently running Win98 on a 700 MHz Duron machine with 448MB of RAM that a friend somewhat recently gave me. Which is a vast upgrade from the 350 MHz K6-2 machine with 128MB of RAM that I had for about 8 years. (Ah, the joys of being stuck in lots of crappy-paying jobs!)I don't know the hardware of my friends' computers, though I do at least know that mine is still the slowest out of all of them. Three are running some version of WinXP, I think, one runs Linux, and one fellow owns a WinXP computer but has to RP using his Win98 one for some rather weird reasons. Two of us have cable (though one sometimes has to use satellite or dial-up when he's out on training trips), I have DSL, one had AOL but *just* recently got broadband, and one is stuck in dial-up land.One player is a tech support guy (and a very competent one) for a big computer company, one has a CS degree (though weirdly tends to need to ask me and the tech for computer advice...), two are passably computer literate, and then there's moi.Usually it was mine and the AOLer's computers that were the sticky wickets, though sometimes the Linux guy has trouble finding compatible programs on his end to match the rest of us, and sometimes the dial-up fellow's computer runs wonky or his connection doesn't pull enough juice.Peace & Luv, Liz</blockquote>
