I am ordering a new computer:
Athlon 64 939 3000
1 GB RAM PC 3200 Kingston Value Series Dual Channel
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
VGA Geforce 6600 GT PCI-E
HD 160 GB SATA
DVDRW LG
Is it a nice computer for Celestia?
Maybe the slowdowns in the scripts will be finished...
New computer arriving!
Daniel,
That looks like a very good computer to me!
It won't eliminate all of the slowdowns, but they'll be much shorter.
The slowdowns and pauses won't be eliminated until Celestia's I/O routines are rewritten.
Do you know exactly which model of HD you will be getting?
A minor suggestion: you might want to consider ECC memory.
It is slightly slower than non-ECC memory, but the system will immediately detect if the memory is having problems. You don't have to worry if a program or system glitch might be due to memory problems and run lots of memory diagnostics to find out.
