I'm inclined to agree with this post (concerning SWG and system specs), normally more power is better, but it also depends on your OS and it's requirements. Windows XP, which is what the game was mainly designed for back in the day, had far less processes/services running, than say today's 7/8/10.
Also keep in mind that a lot of people bump up the FPS cap (which defaults to 30 FPS) which wasn't done back then, but overall SWG is a spec-friendly game, however things such as the volumetric shadow shaders have memory leak bugs/non-optimization in our client that lead to more 'power' seemingly being more useful.
Regardless though, might as well use the tech if you own it.
Yes, Windows XP was definitely optimized for it's hardware acceleration. I was also under the impression that there was optimizing "leaks" per-say in the engine that caused various performance issues. Also I tend to think this is partially why better hardware, GPU, CPU, and so forth will provide less slow-downs. That's the main performance issue I've experienced with the client. While the performance maybe relatively even through the board a sudden slow down will occur. Thus faster hardware reduces the un-optimized failure of the software. My experience with various computer builds (many) has been the faster computer (usually with high-end specs) always provided the better performance in realtime.
any ideas when server should be back up?
I wish someone gave an update on the publish, what are the problems? what will be the way taken to solve those problems? etc. This way we would'nt be speculating this much.
There are different problems that end up deadlocking the server. This is expected with a merge if this magnitude. It isn’t the same issue each time, but they are all getting fixed, so that it often is a new issue that makes the server go down. As you can see in the OP I worte, expect it to be unstable for some time.

The pvp rating system (and /showpvprating) are now functional.
NICE!
Quick question on event perks: The event coordinator will discuss "hired actors"which can be clothed and taught a line to speak but i see no option to actually hire a hired actor. Is this something not yet implemented...or am i missing something?
