Board » Technical Discussion » General System Spec - to aid SOL development

Page: 1 2 3 4 Next

Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category General Discussion.
To improve the development process for the sailonline client application, it would be good to know a few things about the systems people use to run SOL on.
There are just a few categories of specifications we are inteerested in, so please fill it out and we can hopefully develop the client to better run on the higher end systems, while still being ok on the lower end ones.

****************************************
****************************************
To make life easier for all, I found a small free benchmark program that is available for both PC and Mac. Called NovaBench it will reduce things to a few key numbers, and you can simply cut and paste the system specs from the report page. It is approx 11Mb download and tests take about 1-2 minutes.
Please Post what you see on result page (you can just select all text, including overall result, and copy & paste - HDD info not necessary).
[This also allows better comparison between Win & Mac machines]
****************************************
****************************************

Please also indicate, whether your machine is a desktop or laptop, screen resolution and size, and a rough age in years (or < 1)

Also your Internet download speed:

Use the http://speedtest.net service for 'real-world' results, as often you are not achieving what your ISP claims as their connection speed.


Example NovaBench output:

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!
