I just bought a brand new notebook with a radeon 256 meg video card and a 3.4 gig intel 4 processor. with 512k ram and a 17 inch widescreen monitor.
THe primary reason why i got all those upgrades was to play World of Warcraft, but now when I look at the screenshots of it, I'm honestly not that impressed by the graphics. I wish they would have pushed the engine a bit more, I understand that they want everyone to be able to play, but if those screenshots were taking in the best quality possible, then I'm considering going with EQ II. I know that I shouldn't go for the game that looks better but that plays a big role. Plus, I've heard a lot of great things about EQ II even though I'm a warcraft/blizzard fan at heart. Can anyone convince me that the graphics on WoW are just as good as EQII or is it a lost cause?
I was looking on the EQ II site and the graphics seriously look fucking sick, especially that image with the elephant, holey fuck. AMAZING. That game looks more true to life, WoW looks a bit more animated and less realistic.

From what I heard, WoW is a lot nicer in game then screen shots... and I heard EQ2 is crap in game...
Your PC will be fine... just remember, just because it's fast doesn't mean anything. You have a laptop... that kills the overall perfomance of most things.

haha, no way.
HOw can you say that? I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse for it. I don't see what would kill it if i have it plugged into a power outlet. I should be getting the same performance that I would on a desktop, or pretty darn near close.
Because only having 512 megs of ram willl force EQ2 to beat your ass. Minimum, you want 1 gig. 2 would be preferable, imo.
ya I'll probably get a 1 gig stick in a few months when I absolutely have too.. i just didn't feel like paying an extra 150 to get it put in the laptop. But ya, 256 meg video card should do the trick for now I think.
What will he do next?
