well at the moment i'm using a dell vestro 220 its got 8gb ram ive just upgraded the graphics card ati radeon hd5770 as the one that came with it was out dated but on the other hand very good all round
i think you should look for one with good graphics and a good decent memory installed and a decent size hard drive like a 1tb but its up to you what you go for

You're right ati radeon's are nothing but a hassle.
Get something with at least a 250 GB Hard drive, and a 8600 GT Nvidia or better. I'm about to get me a new graphics card and that card is about $70 bucks here to get. But it is more and less in other places, depends on our economies. Get something with at least a 2.7 or faster processor, and at least 4-8 gigs of ram. You should never have trouble running 18 wos then.

My current specs are: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32 bit Intel (R) Core (TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40 GHz 2.40 GHz RAM: 2 GB NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
I dont have any problems running ETS on standard settings now but my Volvo FH16 25,25m swedish combo rig is so High poly and i want to be able to use max settings instead, the cam angle i can use is Behind the wheel aka the interior view i only use that anyway but reason i want a new commpurte is cause of my current computer are old and plain and simple i want a new one. Nothing more.

Post by Alex on Jan 30, 2011 12:10:53 GMT -5
I finaly counted the polies all together
Volvo: 834.712 polies
Dolly: 100.283 polies
Trailer: 232.641 polies
all the wheels on my rig (Volvo, dolly and trailer): 415.536 polies
So in total on my entire Volvo FH16 25,25 meter swedish combo (truck, dolly, trailer and wheels): 1.583.172 polies
so about one and a half million polies, to me that can be called a high poly mod.

Jesus christ man....lol that's some serious polies. I'd pump it up with a 9600 card then and 3.0 or more processor, still got with at least 5-8 gigs of ram and a decent size harddrive. I'm guessing 250 or better unless your like 4pete and have a mod folder thats 43gb.
