Hidea Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) I hope this hasn't been posted yet. http://haystack.lcs.mit.edu/staging/eclipse-download.html Cool looking! :) I'm going to try it later today System RequirementsPlease take note of the following system requirements for Haystack on an Intel PC: * Pentium III 700mhz-based computer or better (Pentium 4 2ghz strongly recommended) * 512 megabytes of RAM (768 megabytes strongly recommended) * Windows 2000, Windows XP * At least 1 gigabyte of disk space (or more, as your repository grows) * Java 2 Development Kit (JDK) 1.4 Edited July 15, 2004 by Hidea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Do you know what engine is uses? Just by looking at it, I would say IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambience Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Well, the organising photo albums and playing music sounds interesting but it's got high system requirements (512ram?!?!) and it has been reported as slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidea Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yea, it got MASSIVE requirement.... I don't know if I wanna try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobozoot Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Do you know what engine is uses? Just by looking at it, I would say IE. Err....No, it uses the Java SDK. I tried it and it was okay. But it was sluggish on a 1.5GHz with 1GB RAM. I hate that such software makes the system sluggish even when having a fast system. I also used the mail system. It is also sluggish not to mention its insane system requirements. I wish that there was something similar to this that used less resources.

Hidea Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) it's asking for a 2.0 GHz....

I hate that such software makes the system sluggish even when having a fast system. That explains it. Java apps tend to be pretty damn slow.

Michael1406 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I don't know if it's the webpage that's being viewed or the fact that I don't know a thing about it, but that whole screenshot confuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoDaddy Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Lol - under Caveats - "Haystack is slow". Even for Java, these requirements seem a bit much for a browser. I don't think too many people would be interested in features that use that many resources. So, who are they targeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
