New gaming rig

Archived from groups: alt.games.coh (More info?)

Just placed my order for a new gaming laptop. I can't wait to play
City of Heroes at full graphics throttle.

These are the specs:
Pentium 4 540 w/HT 3.2 GHz
1 GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 533 MHz
7700 NVIDIA GeForce 6800 256MB


Doesn't ship until Feb 7 so I have a few weeks to wait.

This should also eliminate the irritating disconnects. I think they're
related to my current sluggish machine.

What do you guys think. Will CoH scream on this machine?

It should run very well. I'm running with 768 MB DDR 166 MHz
memory, 1.5 GHz Athlon, and a GeForce 5200FX, and it runs
suitably well. I use the default resolution and settings. You
should be able to turn resolution and details up and get similar
performance.

So the question begs: how is CoH running on your machine? Are you able
to set details to 100%? I've got everything tuned down on my current
machine and I still get FPS hell now and then.
