    Or thats what DELL said anyway, They said it was 512MB in total cause they doubled everything in the system when I bougth it,

    So would WoW and EQ2 look good?

    You should be fine running WoW and Lineage 2. EQ2, not so sure.
  • ShadrakShadrak Member Posts: 375
    you should be fine with most games..Not Vanguard though at least not yet
  • Michiru552Michiru552 Member Posts: 34

    So I need a new computer?

    Meh I thought 512mb of graphics would be good >.< DAMN YOU DELL!

  • exanimoexanimo Member UncommonPosts: 1,301

    512 is dam good , but the amount of normal ram and the speed of your normal ram is also very important

    if you cant play any of those games with your machine , i think the problem is not the machine , its the game that as bad programing

    reminds me of deus ex 2 , that game is old and still doesnt play good with new machines
    its the best exemple i know of horrible programing

    that is a awsome machine , i think u MUST be able to play anything , really.

    here goes some tips

    START - CONTROL PANEL - INTERNET OPTIONS - ADVANCED - Empty internet temporary files folder when browser is closed - TURN THIS ON

    defragment your harddrives once a week , keeps it fast longer.

  • Michiru552Michiru552 Member Posts: 34
    How do I defrag?

    Cool I'll do it now.
  • MuffinStumpMuffinStump Member UncommonPosts: 474

    You're fine with your rig for just about anything at all.

    They are simply mentioning routine maintenance such as hard-drive defragmentation. Although really a casual look at any of the dozens of pc/tech sites revolving around pc care is a good recommendation.

    Generally what will affect your gaming performance more than anything is tweaking the game settings to match your desired level of quality<-->performance.

    Also, you may wish to study how a dual card setup actually works...it isn't really a 'doubling'. Nevertheless, you are fine with your purchase (other than my Dell reservations that is)

    :)

    Ok so my system will be ok but still can't think of what game to play

    I tried LOTRO.... And it looked GREAT on my PC but it just wasn't the game for me,

    No mages!

    Nearest thing was Lore-Master and they did barely any dmg spells!

    I wanna be a Mage on a game so I am looking at WoW mainly because of the NON PVP unless you accept the invite hehe.

    Also alot of outfits on LOTRO ^.^

    But I'm finding a lack of decent screenshots,

    I'd like to see some screenies of actualy players not what Blizzard are showing

  • ShadrakShadrak Member Posts: 375
    try flipping through these they are user submitted screenshots for WoW

    well that statement pretty much excludes Lineage 2 from your list 

     Think about Eq2 or WoW. they both have excellent graphics and fun lage classes. You might also consider FFXI ot  more of a heavy grind and its no very newbie friendly but its still fun and its final fantasy! :)
  • Michiru552Michiru552 Member Posts: 34

    I have played and finished FFXI

    Lv 75 SMN

    LV 75 BLM

    LV 75 RDM

    LV 75 WHM

    I played that on release and that was fun to play

    WoW does look like the kinda game thats for me,

    I have to ask is there staffs for weps?

    and do they all look like a stick of wood like LOTRO

    WoW mages can use Staves, daggers and 1handed swords I believe. and most looks very cool. You can see what any item would look like on you by  ctrl+right clicking on it.

    WoW is Boring?

    I like games that you can party in and go out n fight

    NOT GUILD WARS! lol I hate that game only lvlin to 20? Meh no fun there

  • ShadrakShadrak Member Posts: 375
    WoW isnt boring unless you are one of those people who race blindly through content as fast as you can to reach max level only to farm instances for phat lewts. Join a Guild, take your time.
  • Michiru552Michiru552 Member Posts: 34

    I like to go slow n steadyish

    find a guild & do events etc

    Now I just need to wait til tommrow to buy the damn game lol all shops are closed atm
