Of paticular note, here:
1. Apparently radeons are catching up to geforces, fast. In the old survey, geforces had the majority by a very wide margin. Now, it's almost even. In addition, there seem to be a lot of other people using videocards that are from neither of these.
2. More people are still using SP1 rather then SP2.
3. More people are using 98SE then ME.
4. Everyone appears to be using either an intel or an AMD - and nothing else.
5. There are people running at 320x280. Somehow.
6. English is of course the number one language of STEAM users. Number two? Korean. KEKEKEKEKEKEK^____^

Or should I wait 2 days until I get my new [and very good in comparison] computer?
We need to hold a vigil for whoever that is.
p.s. If I figure out how to play NS in 400x300 mode, I might be able to get above 40 fps. Any idea anyone?

I wanna know.. I need FPS! I run at 4.. FSKING 4 FPS
I feel sorry for that one dude.. Must take him a while to load anything
Shouldn't they, you know, just tell you?
I know it's good marketing and all to market a product everone will use, but it seems just plain wrong.

I think they're still tuning some features of the game (just a guess), basing it on the hardware survey. If 50% of the people have P3s with 1 Ghz, I'm pretty sure they won't put reflective floors in every single room. Or whatever. You know what I mean...
WON was worse than steam for 56k. That is all.

HA HA HA.
I think their system might be a little off.
What.......? o_O
With "people", do they mean 1 individual with the "less than 200 mhz" computer? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yep. All 2,669 of him apparently.
KEKEKEKEKKEKE ZERG RUSH SOJ SOJ is different from what you would hear talking to an adult, yes.
XP (Build 2600) 31,504 16.67 %
IE: 16% of these people have NEVER PATCHED WINDOWS.

When I nuked my computer recently I didn't bother to put the service packs back on. It's running fine so I don't see why I should.

Well, almost every single CPU nowadays has the RDTSC instructions implemented...Soooo the 209,868 persons with 1 processor as well as the 338 with 2 processors and voilá, there you have more than 100% (they simply forgot not to take 100% as the amount of survey attendants but the amount of cpus).
Another thing is, Steam thought i was using Direct3D as renderer although i have it set to OpenGL in all Steam Games, so this number might be off by a little aswell, incase that happened to anyone else.

Something tells me Valve should take this survey with a pinch of salt.

My $DEITY, this why we have spam problems and why internet worms spread so fast.
Your computer could be a spambot and you wouldn't know. The next worm that comes could use your computer to infect uncountable multitudes and you wouldn't know. In effect, your computer is a script kiddie's conception of $HEAVEN.
The apartment I lived in two years ago had such old phonelines that 14.4 was the <b>best</b> speed I could connect at. And I know my complex wasn't the only place in town with lines that bad, and I highly doubt they have been upgraded since I left.
