    Just in case you really haven't figured it out yet, with your rig you can play any PC game you want to - barring problems you might have with using Vista of course. Installing Vista and using non-interleaved memory (using an odd number of modules, or using unbalanced module sizes) could be considered something of a mistake you made with your build.

    Otherwise, you may simply enjoy running a benchmarking program more. Then afterwards go to a tech forum like Anandtech's and discuss your results.

    I recommend that you play Lotro, its made for a rig like yours and with those specs it would be absoulutley stunning  !!

    You might be able to play Vanguard on the lowest settings.

    I say Oblivion and EQ2.


    Both games are way more enjoyable once you can pretty much set the graphics to the max.

    I installed 4x1gb of ram. But Vista and my bios like to tell me I have 3007mb of memory. I think there's a fix, but I don't wanna stop all my downloads just so I can look for a fix I heard about in the Bios.

    i concur with the above statements.

    Yeah I would like to try LoTRO but unfortunately, I have no idea (or can't be bothered to find out) where to buy it since i'm living in Hong Kong.

    Good stuff. You should be able to put most settings on max in EQ2. I have a similar setup and I only had to tweak a few settings down before getting a stable FPS in most locations.

    My favorite mmorpg is Everquest 1 the one that started it all. The graphics may not be the best in the newer expansions, but it's not about graphics to me. It's more about fun and content. It has the best classes and races , and i turn on all old character models.
    The most fun is leveling a magician or necromancer. Than twink out a monk with 2 awesome 1hb's and armor. Very very fun. Still the best Pve game. If your into pvp just play wow or warhammer when that comes out.

    EQ the game that made this webpage and everything that is online gaming.

    lates yo lol.

    Blah, he can play on high. He just has to make sure his ram is good and that his hd is good. The only real problem with vg is it crashes alot. With good ram and a fast hard drive you will be fine. The main problem alot of people with a geforce 8800 gtx have with vg is there ram is faulty or there hard drive is slow.

     

    I agree vanguard has alot of problems for alot of people but your statement bono and shi is false.

    I'm pretty sure the two Vanguard posts were meant as jokes.   

     

    Sadly not too far from the truth, however.
