When you are making a game and you plan to go commercial, you always have to do market research. You need to know the people in the market, and find the biggest area to target.

Post here your system stats, and we can keep track of the stats to decide the best area of the market to target. Since a lot of us are programmers/gamers, I wouldnt be suprised to see some beefy machines, but then again when you sell a game a lot of gamers will buy it So Ill start

This needs taking a step further. We need a freely available benchmarking program written in DBC / DBPro. Using this, a table can be created by getting the community to run the benchmark test and submitting the results.

I would suggest the benchmark prog should cover different aspects, such as polygon count, texture sizes and so forth.

I'm only an amateur, if anyone has a solid suggestion, and time to write the prog, please come forth!

Can't remember fully. But the ones on the network are something like...

AMD XP2400+, 80Gb, 512Mb, 19", GF4 128Mb 8xAGP, XP Pro
AMD XP1900+, 100Gb, 512Mb, 19", GF3Ti 64Mb 4xAGP, XP Home
Centrino laptop 1.4Ghz, 256Mb, 40Gb HD, 64Mb Integrated graphics, XP Pro, 14" screen
P3 700Mhz laptop, 60Gb HD, 16Mb Integrated graphics, XP Home, 15" screen
P2 450Mhz, 20Gb HD, 128Mb, GF2 32Mb, Windows ME, 15" screen
P1 133Mhz, 10Gb HD, 128Mb, Voodoo 3 16Mb, Windows 98, 15" screen
And technically on the network (internal Wi-fi and Bluetooth) is a HP 4150 IPAQ. Recommend these, they are sexy as hell.

Not bad. Used to be a DBP beta tester until they moved over to DBDN and basically started charging people for the task.

Oh, and within a couple of months replace the 700Mhz laptop for a kick arse effort (giving old one to parents when they go abroad). Can't be bothered with not being in bed while browsing the internet, and playing games. Totally against desktops these days (which is why mine are getting out of date now after a year or two without any major updates). You can easily get more lazy as you get older.

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
