Default Post your worst computer able to run Guild Wars!

this used to be my really old computer before I finally bought a new laptop. And believe it or not, it actually ran GW, but not w/o difficulty.

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 1.15 GHz
RAM: 512 MB
Video Card: Radeon 7500(lol!)

AMD Athlon 1800+ (underclocked to 1400+ because of instability )
384 or 512 mb of RAM (not sure, I had that computer during GW beta which was a loooooong time ago)
Gigabyte Radeon 9200SE
Some crappy 17" monitor I found by the computer store I used to work at... every half an hour or so the entire picture shrinked to about .5 cm and stayed like that in the middle of the screen. I had to hit the monitor really hard for it to get back to normal... my hand was hurting really bad after a few days

Overall, that was the least stable computer I've ever owned. I got it really cheap from some guy on classifieds. Basically, I've used it for a while, then sold it to my friend. About 2 months later, the mobo and CPU died and took the hard drive with them. Needless to say my friend was pretty pissed off

What can I say... BEAT THAT!

Hmm, don't have the specs of the old computer, but I know it had an Nvidia GeForce 3 series card. It had a huge piece of bubble gum stuck to the top of it for extra points.

Seriously, my brothers somehow managed that, it was in their room before it was in the office.

It had BSOD's a lot, till I updated it's drivers, but it was a pretty funny experience none the less.

I ran Guild Wars EotN on a PC with:
Pentium 3 @ 800MHz
256MB DDR SDRAM
NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 w/ 16MB

It looked like total BS, but it ran it. I loved this desktop when I used to play Red Alert 2 five years ago... >_<

My little fileserver runs it (barely) :-

PIII 700MHz
448MB PC133
GeForce4 Ti4400 128MB
30GB Maxtor Fireball

However, I only installed it to test if it were possible. The old girl is normally used for nothing more than holding documents and streaming music.
