I'd have posted this whole article as a forum post in Resident Answers, but the formatting differences between Blogger and the forum are too great (and you can't even use BBcode here). Anyway, if you know anyone who's looking to get a new computer for the purposes of running Second Life, hopefully this article will help. It features benchmarking results, descriptions of how various hardware components affect SL performance, and tips for when making purchases.

From: someone
It seems like every couple of days someone's posting on one of the Second Life forums asking one of the following questions:

* My computer runs SL very poorly. What can I do to speed it up?
* I'm planning on buying [a specific model of computer] for playing Second Life. Will it be fast enough?

I hope to answer those very questions here...
