why can't LL label the specs for SL v2 properly then

[reese Shawbridge]

my specs are thus.

Intel celeron P4 2.97ghz Single Core

4 gig DDR2 1066 fsb

Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX + with XFX tech 512 mb

and over 2 T of hardrive space

50 Meg BB up and 1.7 meg down

using the above specs,v2 runs little laggys somestimes fails to log in and other times logs in then i get failed to load gesture packs then ya booted. v1 works fine and i can dj as well same time with em both ruuning with yahoo mesenger and msn in background. yes top end card for its time yes using pci express v1 slot. but my motherbaord is only 2 years olds supports sata 2.0 dule bios 6 fan slots of the mb ok pci is only a 16x and the issue i get off the card is simples got a 450 watt in the machine and it requires 450 watts to drive the card so thast the ovi option. so ma ? is why would LL post dat u can run v2 on a single core chip when its dam well ovi u cannot. they should get there facts right casue many peopel have prob hit this curve ball and either quit or spent 1000's of pounds to get logged in

 
v1 should be listed as single core or dual core greater

v2 as a 2core quad or quad core or 8x series i8 chip or greater not the specs they have listed. that is ma point.

they given out fasle information so ya think yas system would work on ther latest relase when it does not.

sorry for the rant but they should make a v2 viweier for leser powerful machines and a v2+ for the high spec toys so we allcan have a go.

 

this is what i think v2 should run on

 

Graphics: Nivida GeForce GTX 590

 
Processor  Intel Core i7-2920XM Extreme Edition
 
Memory DDR4 SDRAM 12 gigs or higher.
 
HDD Seagate 4 T sata 3.0 bus.
 
Network 50 meg plus+ a sec.
 
with a set up like that with 3 24 inch flat panel lcd's ya laughing.
 
 
To anwsers kudos ? my MB is a dual band so it can go up to Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9770
(12M Cache, 3.20 GHz, 1600 MHz FSB)  4 gig DDR 2 ram 1066 fsb 6 sata 2.0 hdds any size and one IDE
and yes since grapahics are now on PCI express 3 mine is .

1 x PCI Express x16 slot

so my pc is pretty loaded is would b nce if LL new what they were talkong about before they posted there spec sheets.

casue if ya look on the specs page its says that v2 can quiet happliy run on my current setup. which as u know is not the case.

I'm having a difficult time understanding your setup.  A $45 CPU and $50 RAM matched with a $300 MB and a $100 HD.  That's a quick search on Newegg.com.  But to each their own.  Two of the most critical hardware components scrimped on when there are many other ways to save that are not so critical.  The 9800 GTX is plenty of video card for SL.  The HD is almost unimportant as far as SL is concerned (it only becomes a factor if you are low on system RAM).

 

Anyway, to answer what I think is your question ("why does LL 'lie' about system requirements").  I can agree that the system requirements that LL lists is pretty outdated (by about 5 years or so).  But not the way you are looking at them.  A minimally spec'd machine will have a difficult time running SL.........not the other way around.  You seem to be saying that because your computer exceeds the minimums by a wide margin that V-2 won't run for you (or that it runs very poorly).  My system exceeds the minimums by quite a wide margin too (hell, most mid-range computers manufacturered in the past 3 years or so exceed those requirements by a wide margin).  V-2, as long as your video card supports OpenGL 2.0 or later, runs fine...........that 9800GTX meets that OpenGL requirement quite easily.  I believe it's something in the way you have your computer setup, or the operating system setup, or possibly your video drivers being outdated..........or possibly your MB needs some driver to mate up with that Celeron P4 CPU. 

 

I don't know.........your system (even if I can't quite picture it) should run any SL viewer (including V-2) without problems.  I just don't think you can blame LL for your setup problems.
