just curious, as it says i meet minimum specs, yet most of what i read seems to say i wont be able to run the game
pentium 4 3.06 ghz
2 gig ram
ati x1300 256mb videocard
the card is old, and thats what im confused about..will i be able to run the game at reasonable framerates? i dont mind lower end settings, dont plan on much of any pvp...load screens well there going to be there anyway. just want to play. any opinions?
note: yes, a new rig is in the future,

You should be able to play the game on low settings (which is still sweet) but as far as accuracy goes on th lab thing, its off for me, because I have a pretty good gaming rig with perfect overclocks and timing with no bottlenecking and it says I only pass minimum. Thats funny because I can play Crysis on High settings with 30 - 40 fps. /shrug

thanks for your fast responsethats good news. guess ill be a hyborian adventurer soon!!
May I please ask, do you know if your computer uses AGP or PCIe?
Also, can you afford about a $150 USD for a better graphics card? If you were, you'd be happy you did.
It would create a bottleneck =p
Your system is fine but i think that X1300 really hurts your systems performance the most.
If you upgraded that card you would be running the game with most everything enabled.
I am assuming cash is not something you can spare but i found this deal.. pretty killer.. it was going for $88 but for some reason the retailer just raised it to $99 still a good deal tho. I rate the card a 7 out of 10 8800gt would be a 8/10 9800gtx would be a 9/10 and 9800gx2 would be a 10/10 which is pretty much the best card right now. Anyway here is the link.

You need PCI-E (PCI Express) slot to use this card.
What about a P4 2.8ghz,2gig RAM, and ati hd2400(pci)256mb card?
Yes, you should be fine on low settings...Ive heard FunCom has done an excellent (and very surprising) job on getting low/medium spec comps to be able to run the game well.
