ax_peq db converted to innoDB

[Angelox]

I still have my original EqEmu machine which is a WinXP, pentium III 500 with 500meg of ram, 30 gig hard disk. I downloaded/installed the newest binaries (EQEmu-0.7.0-974) and my latest ax_peq with innoDB conversion and I used a MySql5x.
Also, I used a Titanium client off the same machine; logged in fine, played (just me alone), zoned with no problems. This should give you an idea of what can be done.
Only problem I had is, and I get with this with any machine I try; sometimes when I first try to use the minilogin, the client hangs: all I do is ctrl-alt-del to the windows task manager, kill the eqgame.exe and restart minilogin only. After that, it doesn't happen anymore.
But so you know, this xp machine is running as a "dedicated" machine. by this I mean i have no messengers, av's, or other programs polling in the background.
I'm also sure I have no spyware, malware, etc, running. I do not use new character models with my client (saves a lot of memory, and workload).
and finally I have run the system configuration utility (msconfig) and disabled everthing possible, so windows os demands little resources. If you follow back though my posts, you will see where i explained and posted links on how to do things like disable stuff in msconfig, or tweak your internet connection.

Well, I have to admit if you're running fine with a P3 500 and 500MB RAM, then most should be able to run the server with an innodb db, and the client at the same time. I take back my previous statement about only larger servers should switch, based on performance. Though, I still say choice is very important.

I get that minilogin bug too, though I don't normally need to kill the client. Usually for me, it just says the server could not be found or whatever. I close the client and get in on the second attempt. *shrugs* not a huge priority.

I never waited it out on the Minilogin , thought it was just dead, and killed it all. Believe it or not, it hardly does this with wine and Linux. but does a lot with windows.
I bet the problem most people have when it comes to EqEmu, is their machine is not tweaked and full of other stuff running in the background.
I'm a "cyber-dumpster diver". My old crap has to be tweaked, else nothing works right.
