Thanks Annis, I appreciate it! I've been so busy it took me what...3 months to reply? Kinda sad really. Sorry

**Emn1ty** · September 6th, 2005, 08:54 PM

one word: free?

pm me if interested in helpin the cause.

I will give you all the info on what we are doing, if this "free thing doesnt turn you away first.

**Voltmeter** · September 8th, 2005, 01:43 PM

Hah! No freebies, sorry. Generally speaking the "free" time we freelancers have is spent digging up paying work. Tracking down clients can be a full time gig plus some...good luck finding someone though.

**Emn1ty** · September 8th, 2005, 08:00 PM

Same with this. It is tedious, but has to be done.

**Voltmeter** · January 18th, 2006, 12:39 PM

um, I don't really do any programming anymore, but I'll help as much as I can... I built something that is intended to let me draw and paint as fast as possible. For me that means dual processors and a heckuva lot of ram. I spend all my time in photoshop though, a coder really doesn't need that extra processor although it might still be nice to have as it will shorten compile times by 30% or more. On second thought, you might want to have at the least a dual-core processor as many games in the coming generation will be multi-threaded and you might want to get used to writing code for that.

A good resource is the ArsTechnica System Guide. If you want a more informed opinion register and post in those forums, I know there are several people there who program in the industry.

One thing I can tell you for sure, invest in dual monitors, preferably LCDs (much easier on your eyes). That way you can have your compiler windows up on one screen and code on the other, trust me, it saves you HOURS a day. Dell makes good ones and has 20% off sales for them often.

Hope this helps,

Nate
