This is my New Computer specs as of right now.. I was wondering if you might know how well SWG, EQ2, and other Computer demanding games will run on this setup.. POOR, GOOD, EXCELLENT?

 

Also, How much Graphics and Hardware demanding is SWG?

Please comment on your thoughts about my setup!

 

PS: I have no HardDrive listed because I have tons of awesome one's at my house just laying around..

    SWG is straight-up RAM intensive.

    If you are going to be experiencing PvP combat at a starport, then you want 3 GIG of RAM. This way everything loads whgile you are coming around the corner.

    Otherwise, you will freeze up and slideshow at the entrance.

    3g of ram, are you crazy.... Since, my motherboard has 4 Slots available for upgrade, I will put in the 2 512 Sticks from my set up specs and most likely 2 256mb DDR to fill up the remaining slots.. I will have 1.5g of ram! Is that enough.. I know the start up loads slowly, but do you think it will run good now?

    Try it.

    My 1 GIG freezes me up in doorways every time if there are players in the area.

    For that reason, I was forced to avoid all contact at starports. (as one example)

    I have played this game on a crappy computer and the slowdown wasn't that bad.. It slowed down to 8FPS and then to 0FPS for about 2seconds then it went back up after I left.. I can deal with slow-down, and I know SWG has tons of slow-down but it should be overall a better experience than my crappy computer..  How does EQ2 or GuildWars fare to my computer set-up? I don't expect no slow-down in MMO games but I like to experience only when theres tons of people in a starport/spaceport..

    Someone said "POOR".. Umm, I think it will run it better than POOR or I'm just gonna get a XBOX360.
