	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: NovaBench Score: 287 21/11/2011 10:51:14 AM Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ @ 2094 MHz Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS 3072 MB System RAM (Score: 87) - RAM Speed: 1945 MB/s CPU Tests (Score: 182) - Floating Point Operations/Second: 47251978 - Integer Operations/Second: 119100712 - MD5 Hashes Generated/Second: 513754 Graphics Tests (Score: 13) - 3D Frames Per Second: 48 Hardware Tests (Score: 5) - Primary Partition Capacity: 49 GB - Drive Write Speed: 15 MB/s If using this please also highlight the overall score (or include in post) Thanks --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2011-11-21 04:03:02 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

Current Races:

Port Huron to Chicago 2024

At the end of the third quarter of the ARCH series, we invite you to participate in a nice regatta with RC44 on the Great Lakes in the USA. We sail 460nm from Port Huron across the lakes to Chicago.
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

The Beagle in Tahiti 2024

Leaving the Galapagos behind, the course was west again, and by November 15th the Beagle reached Tahiti. Like Gauguin, sixty years later, Darwin found the natives, recently Christianized, pleasant and intelligent, but unlike Gauguin, this did not persuade him or his captain, Fitzroy, to tarry long. Let’s have a sail-around in 2024 anyway; 640nm, as ever in the Class B Tall Ship HMS Beagle.

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!
