2011-11-20 02:07:07 - General System Spec - to aid SOL development
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

Haugesund to Reykjavik 2025


In late April 2016 Draken Harald Hårfagre, the worlds largest viking ship built in modern times, left her home port in Haugesund, Norway and sailed off for a challenging voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean.
The aim was to explore and relive one of the most mythological sea voyages – the first transatlantic crossing, and the Viking discovery of the New World, more than a thousand years ago. History tells us about the Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, who discovered America over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The expedition was all about exploring the world, just like the Vikings did.
Sailonline is racing the 1000 nm first leg, from Haugesund, Norway, to Reykjavik, Iceland in our Farr 400. Let us sail in the wake of history on this epic adventure!

It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!
