Specifically, I mean I have an oooold computer : )
I do not plan to upgrade, because the only things
that I do with a computer are playing ADOM and
listening to books. I care little for 3D games,
or playing movies on a PC.

It's been a long time since I fiddled with Sage,
but if memory serves isn't it actually the linux
version of adom? I think it runs in something
like an emulator. I can't remember, because it
was so long ago, but I remember it just worked
more slowly on my PC.

>>amount of gold you carry.

Is it common knowledge that this increase is not 1:1? That is, the more gold I have, the more non-gold I can pick up. Right now I'm wandering around with 4 million gold and am unburdened, but if I drop it, with everything else being equal, I become strained.

Damn, gut... I thought I was retro. I was still using a 486 until about 2001, and my main PC now is the 486's replacement - a 999 mhz pentium 3 laptop that weighs about 600 lbs. It's a Laptop of Weight. But it sounds like your system is even worse than that.

The only reason I'm thinking about upgrading is because I want to play around with 3D imaging. Plus I don't think an old system will be able to run JADE. :-/

Worst player ever, do you have the porter/master packager/beast of burden talents? I though that the increase is 1:1 normally, but those talents increase your carrying capacity so you get extra and thus the girdle of greed can be abused... Though there is a risk: any fire/acid attack from that point on can one-hit-kill you.
If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

I don't think so. It wasn't to my knowledge until
I started reading through these forums about six
months ago, and I've played ADOM off and on for
almost a decade now. I don't think you have to
have special talents for it to work, but do be
extra careful about relying on that girdle for
carrying cappacity.

I have a 300 mhz AMD based machine. A while back,
a relative offered to give me a 800 mhz PC, and
I told them I had no use for it. That's just how
wierd I am : )

I might get a new PC when JADE comes out, but I
doubt it. I'm not easily excited in my old age : )
I will likely wait for most of the bugs to get
ironed out, before I bother.

Yes, I've got that whole talent path. I'm thinking that HAS to be it. Now that I think of it, I was lucky I didn't crush myself when I dropped the gold since I was carrying all of my crap from the casino with no regard as to burden levels without the gold.

I hadn't even thought about fire/acid. I had only been worrying about hags, so I'll drop that gold at the next available opportunity :-o

Ah I see...I used to run on a 486 way back when, but right now I've got a pretty decent computer, 1.6 Ghz, 2 gigs of RAM, basically a standard middle-of-the-line computer.

And yes, ADOM Sage runs through Linux.
