I recently got a new computer and had it configured to be SL-centric (SLentric), or in other words, I wanted it to fit with Second Life as snugly as hand-in-glove. Or something like that.

These are the parts:And the full writeup is on mah blog should you want to read.

Basically, beforehand, I had a whole bunch of unfounded hypotheses on my lap about "How well will this computer do with SL?", and I wanted to do something practical and actually live through this.

Hope this will be of help to those Resis who are searching for more starting points as to what to look for in a high-performance computer to run SL, or just some various ideas of things you can do with your existing system (I write about the NVIDIA Forceware graphics tweaks).

Just a gentle nudge we've got a new System Requirements page up too, which has improved recommendations.
