Poll: what graphics setting do you use for fleetops?

Hi all!
Well the title says it all. I do highest with antialiasing.

All to lowest. In doubt for performance since my laptop's graphic card isn't the best.

Highest with AA. Only to be expected, considering my habit of deleting lower-quality textures.

well if we're gonna have a pissing contest, highest + AA. My laptop may not be a powerhouse, but it can meet fleetops' friendly demands.

I think most are on highest with AA, as FO's graphics are somewhat dated even with the major improvements over A2.

Highest(without A+A) i use a 8 year old HP computer that i've torn apart and rebuilt so many times its insane. but it works and i'm happy, even if i can't play online.

Well Kestrel i dont know about being small, but this is a pretty good size tower, as far as heating up well ive opened all the ports, in the back, pulled out some of the face plate's in the front and keep a fan on near by. Is it safe to say xp is best with games?

Kestrel's probably thinking of the 260; I have one of those. Pentium 4, 1 GB. Only thing I've really replaced was the graphics card so I could use a widescreen monitor on it, a new harddrive to replace the *cough*20 GB*cough* original, and a DVD burner. She actually runs pretty cool despite it's kinda cramped interior.

XP is good if you want to run anything older than about 2002. It shouldn't matter for anything newer. Certain anything newer than 2005 should run fine on XP, Vista, or 7.

talk of old hard drives, i had a 4gb hd in my first computer. only cost 30quid second hand, with 98 my fone stores more now lol.

i ripped a bunch of audio cds using wavelab, but used the wrong settings and filled it up quickly lol. this was before i had the internet and torrents and stuff.

Nope just googled it that was the one but it was a bit more moded out it had a pentium dual core with 2gb ram and a ati card cant remember which version the processor and the graphics card that were put in there probly made it get much hotter than it was supposed to being that its very small but anyway.

No xp isnt really better for gaming, depends on the system specs really. if you have just 1gb of ram then xp will perform better but if you have more then vista or 7 would perform better.
