It can barely run Ragnarok without crashing. Its an emachines and its old. But Im looking for a good game that won't take a lot to run. If anyone would have something to suggest It would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you

    It can play Ragnarok but thats about it. I can run Anarchy online but I didn't like the way it looked.

    Well...with your system (if it is as bad as you say it is), there are very few games we can suggest that you will like the way it looks.



    Plus, like cupertino said...we need the spec's of your computer. What is your processing speed, RAM, graphics card, etc....?

    Im not good with computer stuff but from what I can see it says

    my card is a 3D S3 ProSavage8

    AMD Athion XP Processor 1800+

    1.50 GHz, 224 MB Ram



    is that what it is? How do I check?

    Wow.. if you can get someone to upgrade your ram and video card for you, you would be golden to play a LOT more games that are out in the market.

    Im also speaking from an perspective of an eMachines owner myself.  My computer used to have only 256 mb of ram and a 32/64 MB video intel chipset.  I went and bought a new video card, and an extra 512 SDRAM stick.

    My final specs to date are now:

    • 786 MB RAM
    • 2.66 Ghz Celeron Processor
    • Nvidia FX 5500 256 MB PCI card
    • An extra 160 GB hard drive, adding up to a total of 220 GB of HD space.

    Happy upgrading!  The most expensive part on my list was the video card.

    Well when I asked my computer friends they told me it was a lost cause. I just need something to hold me over until graduation

    Runescape? That's the best I can do for you.

    So what can I do? Or what is available to me... besides tic tac toe...
  • arstevensarstevens Member Posts: 31
    IMO a computer is not a lost cause until it has at least blown up several times, and has had many hardware failures.... oh, and also being over 10 years old.

    Hasn't that game gone heavily down the drain over the past couple years?

    go buy 2 gigs of ram,

    and a 256mb video card, and u'll be good to go.

    Not a big fan of Powercolor (I usually get straight up ATi's), but this would be a decent video card for you to pick up. 80 bucks for a x800GT is not a bad deal at all. A lot of people will give you some advice and send you links to nVidia, but I've always been an ATi fan.



    Be sure to do your own research, though.

    I recommend Ghost Online, they are 2D game, low spec can handle it as well.

    Game Title: Ghost Online

    Genre: Fantasy, Casual

    Status: Beta Test

    Developer: NNG

    Publisher: Mgame

    Client size: 147MB

    Official Website: http://go.gameflier.com.my/

    And Eudemons Online is another good shot for you. http://www.eudemonsonline.com

    If you can spare about $90 you could get an additional 512MB ram and a 64mb (pref 128mb) gfx card, anything around a radeon 9600 or a geforce 5500fx would be fine. And your good to play World of warcraft.



    I used to play WoW in an AthlonXP 2800, 512Ram and a Geforce 2MX (64mb).  And with all details to low, shaders off and running at 800x600 I got a playble 20+ fps, about in 10fps in Ironforge.
