I understand the CPU is outdated that's why I got the whole pc for cheap. That wasn't the question though. I asked if it's capable of running Firestorm and how much trouble will it have with SL? It still meets the recommended systems specs doesn't it?

I don't have 4-5k to throw away like that and even if I did I wouldn't throw it at Alienware. I got a pretty cheap deal on on an old gaming system. Will this run Firestorm? I'm thinking about upgrading the CPU shortly after I get it to an Nvidia. Windows 10 Pro 32bit Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93 GHz 2 TB HDD 16 GB RAM AMD Radeon HD 5700

Thanks for the advice. So SL mainly depends on the CPU and GPU? Does one make more of a difference than the other? I was running SL just fine without a graphics card before my computer died. Could I prioritize the CPU and motherboard and then invest in a solid GPU later down the road? If something can be added to improve performnce later, I would rather add it later than have it factor into the initial cost to get back on the grid. When it comes to the CPU, is SL capable of utilizing 4 cores? Are there any features on CPU's that I should ignore if I only want to use it for SL? I don't want to pay for more than I need, and with all the technical jargon being thrown into these descriptions it's hard to know what will boost SL performance. I'm guessing the speed of the CPU is the GHZ number. Should I priortize faster CPU over more cores? When it comes to RAM I plan to get at least 8GB and get a motherboard capable of holding more. Would 16GB or 32GB of RAM expandability be enough? I know nothing when it comes to the speed of the RAM. Is that what the DDR3 and DDR5 mean? What are the standard speeds when it comes to RAM? As far as storage goes, is a RAM drive different than a HDD? I was under the impression you store the cache on the RAM sticks and the OS on a HDD or SSD. Are RAM sticks and RAM drives two separate things? If I wanted to get a GPU later and prioritize the motherboard and CPU, which should I prioritize first? What holds the onboard graphics? is it the motherboard or the CPU that does most of the work? Sorry for all the questions. I just don't want to go overkill with this build if SL can't make use of any of the components features.

Hello there, Recently my computer died and I am looking for a replacement PC capable of running SL smoothly. I have done some Google searching, but most of the threads and information I find seem to be at least a couple years old. I don't know how often Linden Labs updates their system requirements page, but I'm not the most knowledgable person when it comes to computer specs anyways. A lot of warnings have been posted about AMD graphics cards, so I would like to stay far away from them if possible. My last system ran a AMD graphics card and I eventually had display driver problems that led to my graphics card dying altogether. I'm also trying to cater to SL with this system as much as possible. From my understanding, SL is an old program that is horribly optimized and may perform worse with more advanced components. I don't care about running any other games or programs, as long as it runs SL without too much stuttering that will be fine. I also don't really care for running everything on max settings, mid or low settings will do just fine. With that being said my budget is between $200-$300, but I might be able to squeeze a little more in there if absolutely necessary. I'm looking to be as cheap as possible with this build though. If anyone can provide me with a list of a couple parts via amazon or some similar site that fits this budget, that would be great. Thank you!

Hello there, I recently started SL and I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to choosing clothes and whatnot for my male avatar. I'm primarily looking for someone who is quite skilled in this area and has extensive knowledge on mesh avatars vs non mesh avatars. The ideal candidate should have an extensive collection of male avatars and attire as to avoid having to spend anything in the crafting process. I will request pictures of the finished product (must not be photoshopped or enhanced in any way) and pay you for a list of links to everything you used to create the avatar and outfit. We can discuss price via PM. Please reply here if you're interested and perferably have some of your previous work available as a reference.
