god that system sucks hard.

for starters the only thing slowin you down is the processor speed.

installing ram only jacks up the memory nothin more.

My pc:

Gigabyte Technology

2gb ram
210gb HDD
DUAL Core hyper thread or equivilent 4.50ghz
Radeon ATI Sapphire Pro. 512MB
DvD 48x52x48
ADSL 512mbs
USB-SD Hubs @ 14.

So yea top-of-the-line

shame about the net connection though. =(

Not the overall limiting factor, just a bit shy of the Nightfall recommended specs and scores 3.9 out of 5.9

Not much you can do here other than add RAM to boost the 2.9 into the 4s. The graphics card is the bottleneck in this system, bringing your overall score down to 2.7. There is nothing you can do to fix this. 64M is the minimum recommendation for Factions but I suspect that it is higher for Nightfall, but the box doesn't list minimum video RAM

Overall it's a good computer to surf the web and play non-graphics intense games, but sorry to say that it's not much good beyond that.

TO ALL THOSE WHO HELPED ME!!! Thank you very much! i bought 1 GB of ram increasing my computer to 1.5 GB of RAM and it now runs GW as smooth as a babies bottom. RAM was the only problem i guess because i can put it on the 3rd highest grpahics setting and it still runs perfectly. I can also run Vent and Xfire along with a page or 2 of wiki while still running it very smooth with an average ping of about 160-180ms. Thanks for all the help guys.

PS- i still have vista on here and i even turned back on the Vista skins (i.e. the black bar on the bottom)
