WCG Machine Specs

Posted by Blitz at 19:10 10/10/2002.

The WCG have released the specifications of the machines that will be used for the upcoming event in Korea:

Processor - 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium 4 Processor
Motherboard - i845 Intel Chipset
Memory - 512MB DDR RAM
CDROM - 48X
Video Card - GeForce 2 MX 400 - 64MB
Sound Card - ADI SoundMAX (Built In)
Hard Drive - 40GB HDD
Monitor - 19" Flat CRT
Operating System - Windows 98 SE (English)

It all seems quite decent, apart from the graphics card, I'm not sure why they've chosen to go with a GF2 MX. This is the card I still use, and it's a good card, but it is starting to show signs of age...I'd have thought they could do better. The event starts on October 28^th.

Another small point to note...the WCG have announced a number of changes to their groupings for the various games, with the only Counter-Strike change being that Argentina have decided not to participate and have been withdrawn from Group C. Full info can be found over there.

	shads theb0g 19:24 10/10/2002	dont even bother bringing all that back up gf2 mx ? u gotta be f***ing joking and yes changing the OS for the final is a bit pathetic after all the bother, but apparently that was purely down to who supplied the computers for the qualifiers anyway when the finals would have thier own computers i guess [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	snail 19:44 10/10/2002	would someone be able to tell me why 98 is so much better than XP please? ) i used to use 98 and had no problems with it. when i first got XP the mouse was flying all over the place, so i went to mouse properties and turned mouse accel. off. since then ive had no problems installing games or playing them etc. something i missed? :/ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Weebull 19:45 10/10/2002	MX's are far worse than 'normals' But as it is, they should be alright for CS. What's the most high-spec game they're running at the tourney. Q3 ain't it? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Blitz Editor UKTerrorist 19:46 10/10/2002	CS isn't the only game being played though...considering the fact they're using good cpu, memory and 19" mons, I think they could've gone a little further with the GFX. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Messiah Game2XS.Monkey Magic 19:48 10/10/2002	yeh they could have, but they aint and theyll be fine [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Blitz Editor UKTerrorist 19:51 10/10/2002	true...it will be fine. I'm never happy with 'fine' though. ;) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	iron 22:04 10/10/2002	they can probably get 100fps constant out of that, dunno though, some people can. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	iron 22:06 10/10/2002	especially with that chipset/cpu, when i had my intel chipset i got 100 constant with a p3 866, then when i got my VIA chipset i started getting 30-100. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	KaN North & South 22:38 10/10/2002	That system will drop FPS in smoke... wierd choice. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
