What is a complete systems spec?

[Fritz X]

Hardware:

- Mainboard
- CPU
- GPU
- RAM

optional:

- HDD (I'd recommend this, due to the use of Steam)
- Soundchip
- Screen

Software:

- OS

optional:

- driver information GPU / Soundchip

Please see the system specs signature system used here: http://www.overclock.net/video-game-...cliffs-32.html

Maybe we can add something similar as this board uses vBulletin as well?

Here's a screenshot of the control panel for that setup:

I agree with what you say.

We need a way that is simple enough, yet comprehensive enough to include adequate data information that is easily readable.

I checked out the overclocker form as you describe in your attachment.
It appears to me each user fills in the form manually. Then that information is transcribed in the sig. I suspect that will require a custom modification to this forums, and I don't think it will be important enough for the entire site... as it is to us for the cleanup of BOB COD. I do think is an excellent way to deal with system spec display.

The attachment method you used is excellent, but most members won't use it on a consistent basis.

Having the spec in the sig has always been a best simple method of presentation, because it is automatically placed in each user posting.

There maybe features in the vbulletin that would provide a good workaround, which we aren't using.

My system is not the worst, as you can see.

I.e. I have enough frames, but constant stuttering.

Hardware:

- Asus P8P67
- i5-2500K @ 4.9 GHz
- Ati 6970 2GB
- 8 GB Adata DDR2

optional:

- Samsung 2 TB
- Sound onboard
- IYAMA 24"

Software:

- Windows 7 Ultimate 64

optional:

- Ati Driver GPU - CCC 11.3 and 11.4 Preview

The following is a pretty good looking specification, but I it has a certain level of interpretation required. Unless you know all the names and numbers and what they mean it doesn't make a best presentation.

Most of us know what the names and numbers are in this English speaking forum, but many members of this forums doesn't know English as first language.

i7 930 @ 2.93GHz
AMD HD6970 2GB
6GB DDR3 Corsair Dominator
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
Corsair TX750 PSU
Corsair C300 128GB SSD
Samsung F3 1TB
Asus Xonar DX
Windows 7 64

Ah a complement and a knock back all in one lol. Overclock.net has it right though, but perhaps it won't be so important here once CoD is meeting performance expectations (optimism!)

I think that is the best format for system spec's so far, its certainly easier to see the information. Maybe we could get some feedback from the Dev's to see what info (if any) would be useful to them.

dont forget how many cores, what speed they are running at and include what service pack and the speed of the memory for both MB and VID card

Spend as much as you can on hardware. Or if its broke, fix it and can't be fixed...get rid of it and replace it.
