well first of all this a 6 years old thread ...now to your problem ...those recommended settings are old and seriusly outdated the 9600 as a card is what ? 11 years old now ? those recommended specs are there way way before they add a lot of things to second life and not representative of what you would need today to run sl

well i went to the usa newegg and made a config that i believe it will run sl GREAT although i am from europe and i am pretty sure after some research you can achieve a bit better price you can actually make a little beast with 800 bucks !!! case:Corsair CC-9011075-WW Carbide Series 100R 49.99 HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 67.70 SSD:SanDisk SSD PLUS 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC 59.65 Power Supply : SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W ATX12V / 80 PLUS GOLD 69.90 RAM: Team Elite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 55.99 motherboard : MSI B250M MORTAR LGA 1151 Intel B250 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 83.99 CPU : Intel Core i5-7500 3.4 GHz LGA 1151 204.99 Graphics Card :GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 GV-N1060D5-6GD REV2 6GB 249.99 Tottal :842.4 some have mail and rebate options that i have no clue how it works so the price can get very very very close to 800 if still the cost for any reason can not get a little bit over 800 then you can replace the GTX 1060 6gb with one with 3gb that cost 199 usd so the final cost it will be 792$ with out mail and rebates that as i told i do not know how they work also i picked up the parts kind of fast use this configuration as a baseline about what you can get with 800 usd ! if you live close to a microcenter from what i know they have great prices also you can go there and pick your parts and ask em to asemble it for you i think is free *if you plan to use it absolutely only for sl and internet surfing ... the 6 gb 1060 is not necessary buy with out fear the 3gb if you game in general though try to squeeze in the 1060 6gb **8gb are enough for today what ever 2x4 gb kit you get leaves you open the option in the future to add another 8gb if you need it !

my ram is ddr3 is at 1866 mhz i just had to load the xmp profile and worked out of the box i was curious and dropped my ram speed down to 800 ((not 800x2 so 1600)) yes set my ram to run on 800mhz i had 20% drop on average on fps ... i know what you are saying kathmandu but trust me sl ... loves ram speed do the test your self clock your ram to 1000 or something close to that and then set it to full speed of your ram you will see it makes big difference in sl , i do not say is the only thing that matters but in general sl just loves it a lot more than other applications would

i am always on 200-300 ms on dsl but my packet loss are normally 1% or less i am able to be logged a day straight with out loosing connection although every now and then i get a disconnect but is not often you could call it .... "normal" about wireless make sure you are on the less populated channel of your wifi in your area i had tremendous latency problems in general when my wifi signal was overlapping neighbor wifi signals .... and it might be fine today but another day your neighbor might be downloading or something so there is trafic in the channel the best way to test if this is the problem would be to actually connect threw a cable see if the problem consists

well that happens with the new bodies especially but what i noticed is that happens when ever you have 2 or more attachments at the same spot for example my body was doing that because it was worn on spine same as my collar the moment i started making sure my attachments are alone in the attaching spot my body never bugged before ! *tip: rigged mesh will be in the right spot no matter where you wear it !

sl also loves ramspeed the higher your ramspeed the faster your sl runs so go for the highest ramspeed as far the cost is reasonable for example if it is only 5-10 extra bucks to go from 2133 to 3000 or 3200 go for the high speed ram !

ok while i was venturing in sl i found a script that is using the free program autohot key just google autohotkey and you will find it is actually a famous macro/script program that is well known and to make sl border-less is 100% needed at least to run the script this is really useful for people like me that have 2 monitors so i can have 100% of my screen covered and not having to alt tab to get on the second screen ok now let's go at the script after you install autohotkey or AHK open a text file and copy paste this code ^!g:: WinGetTitle, currentWindow, A IfWinExist %currentWindow% { WinSet, Style, -0xC00000 ; hide title bar WinSet, Style, -0x800000 ; hide thin-line border WinSet, Style, -0x400000 ; hide dialog frame WinSet, Style, -0x40000 ; hide thickframe/sizebox WinMove, , , 0, 0, 1920, 1080 } return ok after you copy paste this inside the text file save it and rename it from newNote.txt to CtrlAltG-borderless.ahk you can name it what ever you like but i like it like that so i remember the key combination to be in the name in case i forget ok now things you can change ^!g:: <--- this is the combination of buttons if you change to g to ... j the combination to activate it would be ctrl+alt+j WinMove, , , 0, 0, 1920, 1080 <---resolution if your monitor is 1280 x 1024 or any other reasolution make sure to change this to WinMove, , , 0, 0, 1280, 1024 after you saved with the settings you want and saved it as ahk and the autohotkey program is running right click on it and choose run scrip then go to your windowed second life make sure is the active window ((normally the bar on top of it is blue instead of gray )) and push ctrl+alt+G and congratulations you made your sl border less *this script works with any program not just sl ! 2) how to reverse it ... well the problem was after that was done i was not able to change it back to not borderles but was an easy fix with a second script to do the reverse thing ^!h:: WinGetTitle, currentWindow, A IfWinExist %currentWindow% { WinSet, Style, +0xC00000 ; hide title bar WinSet, Style, +0x800000 ; hide thin-line border WinSet, Style, +0x400000 ; hide dialog frame WinSet, Style, +0x40000 ; hide thickframe/sizebox WinMove, , , 50,50, 800, 600 } return this one i have it on ctrl+alt+h also on this line WinMove, , , 50,50, 800, 600 <--- make sure it does not start from 0 0 but lower and the window is smaller than your resolution so the borders are in your screen and you can manipulate it as you like ! i hope people like my finding as useful i found it !! sadly i do not have the original creator of the script link i found it few weeks back ... kind of randomly but it works so well i wanted to share !
