The_Red_Flag Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 So I decided to buy a Refurbished Lenovo D20 for $350 shipped on ebay. It arrived today... It has one x5670 xeon hex core 12 thread CPU. Oh and another CPU socket so I'll upgrade soon. Anyways, I'd like to share the usage of running one bot (I'll add more later) Commence jaw dropping. Yes that's correct. One RS (OSBUDDY) client and one OSBot Mirror mode client running use a combined average of 14% CPU. I made a good choice. Feel free to ask any questions, also if anyone else is looking to do the same thing, I think they have more of the same computer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindle Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hey, what kind of graphics card does this machine use? How many bots can you run in total without lagging? I'm really really interested in this idea. I was debating buying an i7 for botting but this seems like a much more efficient way of doing things. Please give me a bit more info!

SwaglordBasedGod Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Can you send me a link of the computer in PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Red_Flag Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Hey, what kind of graphics card does this machine use? How many bots can you run in total without lagging? I'm really really interested in this idea. I was debating buying an i7 for botting but this seems like a much more efficient way of doing things. Please give me a bit more info! Since you added my skype but we've both been busy, I'll post some here. Graphics card is some like early gen Radeon card. 256MB memory. Graphics do not matter as java is driven 99% off of CPU. From things I've seen higher core count helps a lot. So even this older generation socket 1366 CPU is much more powerful than my similarly spec'd (In basic PC benchmarks) i5 3570k due to it's 12 logical cores vs the i5's 4. I managed to get up to 3 bots on the machine yesterday, utilizing about 50-60% of the CPU. I should also mention that it was running a VM with one bot. The VM's usage was ~25% and the usage for 2 bots without the VM is still around 25%. So it looks like running a VM adds about 17.,5% CPU usage (Windows 8.1 Pro). I should also say RAM usage is pretty high with all the VM's. I'd recommend 16GB. BONUS: This is the machine ripping a DVD.

The_Red_Flag Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Where did you get this from? Im in dire need of a new pc I'd like to say that this is not a desktop machine. This is a refurbished Workstation/Server. It does not support many things a new desktop would like SATA 3, USB 3, or even a lot of PCI expansion. But... tldr; ebay haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
