Is it possible to have a stable comp that will not lag in EQ2 and has the possiblity for future upgrades for a little less than 1000$? I dont really care for high settings , i just dont wanna lag and i want the comp to be stable.
Does someone think they could maybe configure somethin for me for around 900$ canadian with that link i provided.
Thanks alot.

You can if you build it yourself.
Using that link (pre-built), and others like it.. doubtful.
Building a PC is easy, just get some guides online to help you, and find a tech forum to ask questions if they pop up. Take your time and everything will be fine.
My favorite buy from sites:

Yes, build it yourself, always cheaper and you get exactly what you want.
One comment on the difficulties of building a computer...
If you can figure out that the round peg goes in the round hole, triangle peg in the triangle hole, and square peg in the square hole; you can probably build a computer.
If it's your first time though, I'd recommend making a shopping list and giving it to someone experienced that will check it for you and make sure you have all the compatibilities right (i.e. don't try to put a a P4 on an AMD board, that kinda stuff).

That is a rip off. To upgrade to a saphire x800 256 its almost 800 bucks. Almost double the real price. IT should go for like 500 bucks, not 800.

I saw the game in action on a off the shelf P4 2.4, 1 gig of ram and a 5700 card. It ran fine on medium settings with little to no lag except in one zone, and even that zone was not a gamebreaker just slightly annoying. You should be able to buy/upgrade or build your own to specs higher than that for less than $800.
Ok so I am bored, just went over to Dell and took a 4600 (2.8 P4 with HT and a 800mz FSB) off the shelf unit, boosted the ram up to a gig and added a 9800 Pro video card and the grand price was $989.00 US. So if you are lazy or just scared there is a box which will run EQII at medium or above settings for less than a grand.
Edit sorry did not notice you were Canadian, so that would exceeed your budget.

nooblet that stuff is crazy expensive, unless thats in canadian dollars...
EDIT: couldnt get anything good under 1100 dollars 1.6ghz amd duron 1024 pc3200ram and radeon 9600xt 256 mb, then just picked the cheapest of everything else (made sure the colors matched) case, cd-rom, etc.
