who have the hardware more old???????

[Per-Anders]

i sitll have an amiga 1200... and theoretically i own an amiga 500 somewhere... i just wish i'd been able to afford lightwave when i had those machines... but i think it's base machine was either the 1000 or the 4000... what the hell did it run on? what was toaster based on? proton? someone?

[LyonHaert]

well, i still use an old Compaq system that was originally bare bones, 166 Mhz (now 233 Mhz), 32 MB SDRAM (now 96 MB), 2.4 GB HDD, generic video card w/ 2 MB video RAM (now a different generic w/ 4 MB).

but that might not really count because i use LW on something much, much better and newer.

[dies-irae]

Celeron333MHz OC@419MHz,
196Mb Ram,
32Mb Matrox G400 Dualhead

it was the perfect machine... then they discovered radiosity...

i have a calculator.

and a slide ruler. :)

[Todd1]

I still use my laptop:
P3 500
512mb ram
8mb video card

My main rig is in the bedroom with the baby and its got alot of fans in it and its way to loud to have on,So the laptop is used when she's sleeping:thumbsup:

:cry:

PIII 500Mhz
312Mb RAM
32Mb DDR ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon

:cry:

Hehehe I actually learned 3D (using Max) on a PI, 200Mhz with a 2Mb video card and only 32Mb RAM! :D

Duron 800
256MB RAM
Hercules 3Dprophet 4000XT 32MB RAM - Kyro Chipset

i have a 486 that only runs master of magic

[mjm]

I have a 486/dx100 as well. Wondrously it runs at about 66 mhz ;)

Sadly enough, I used to play Quake on that religiously, happy with my 4 fps.

If only the old Apple IIe was still around here. California Games... ahhhh :D

[-wT-]

Uhm... I'm not sure if I'm entitled to join, but I've already ordered my copy of LW, so...

I own a 386 (I won't even start guessing the MHz's of it :D) that's running linux at the moment, and I'm hoping to make it a firewall or a router in the future :)

Edit: Nice... 500 posts...

[intvSlams]

I'm still using:

P3 500E (oc to 666)
384 MB RAM
32 MB GeForce 1

Dreaming of dual athlons. When I purchased LW 5.0, I ran it on:

Cyrix P120 (100Mhz, with fpu about like a 486)
16 MB RAM
1 MB (yes, ONE) Trident 9680

I want to say the raytrace scene rendered in like 3 hours. Even though this was 96, it's obvious I didn't know anything about hardware!

Everything I do at home is on a p3-700 768mb-ram gf2mx system.

I used to run LW 6.5 on a mac g3 300(mhz), now I still occasionaly run LW 7.5 on my iMac 400(mhz), and that handles it just fine :)

[Lizard Head]

Dual 400, Dual SCSI, Dual Head,Still can run my old dos progs like 3dstudio and world builder, and the newer stuff like MAX and LW so it is exatley the machine I want.. right in the middle between the old and the new,,,(kinda like me)

[vizion]

p2@300, 8 gig hardrive, 32 meg Elsa synergy 2000...workin in lightwave 7.5, but no characters or objects larger than 5000 polys... otherwise very slow..

I think the original Toaster was based on the Amiga 2000. Actually it's probably what sold a majority of 2000s stateside! I remember lusting after a Toaster. Alas, at the time it was NTSC only. And also too expensive for an 11 year old kid who just wanted to make things like Pixar did! :)

BTW, I still have my A1200 with 10Mb of RAM and an '030 upgrade. I was thrilled to have an 80Mb hard drive! Ahh, those were the days!

Looking to upgrade soon from my old PIII 800. Anything with a gig of ram and an ATI 9700pro!
