I know you are there, you skin flints who have held out for as long as possible from upgrading your rigs... You are the guys whose textures bear a shocking resemblance to terminator 2 bad guys ... muhahahah so here is your chance to who off them old azz workhorses. PIC's in game shots its no holds barred as you SHOW them old rigs!

Or look at it this way now you can show the world how you beat the system wihout breaking the bizzank!

No screenshots here. I'm running GW on an older Dell Dimension 2400. It runs great. I did have to buy a new PCI graphics card however. I don't know the specs on the card off the top of my head, but I only paid $80 for it. My graphics settings in game are all on max quality.

I am worried about the specs on GW:EN. I meet the minimum requirements, but not the recommended requirements.

Hard to say here. I build my own PC's and do it part-by-part in a timely fashion. Sometimes a small upgrade, like a PSU or a soundcard, and sometimes something big like a core upgrade (Mobo+CPU+memory). The oldest part if my floppy drive which is like 10 years old and the newest is my soundcard. (4 months old)

The PC i play GW on is about 5 years old, but it was already low-end at the time, but I can play GW on med-high for now. I need a new PC asap.

Mine's pretty old as well - think it's running on 6 years.

I've updated the RAM and the Video Card, but otherwise, it's still trucking along. The resulting lag is a bit too much to do any extensive PvP, but it's enough to get by.

HayesA · Aug 17, 2007, 04:16 PM // 16:16

Mine is mixed; i first built it about 4 years ago. But I have long since upgraded the motherboard, video card, ram, HDDs. The only thing in there that's still from the original build is the cpu. But i'm currently in the works to get a new cpu... so it's all good.

MSecorsky · Aug 17, 2007, 04:21 PM // 16:21

2 weeks. Just bought a new HP... 2 Gig ram, NVidia (sp?) graphics card, etc.

I'm seeing things in the game I never say on my four year old Dell.

Edit: Ah, can't forget the 24 inch widescreen 1920x1200 resolution monitor.

Excuse me while I drool.

My comp's about 4-5 years old. AMD Athlon XP 2000+, runs at 1.7Ghz. The vid card is definitely not the best, an Nvidia GeForce FX5700, and there's only 512MB of RAM in it. GW runs at around 20-25fps most of the time. Not terrible, but not smooth either.

Need to build a new one soon, or it'll be left in the digital dust.

onerabbit · Aug 17, 2007, 04:23 PM // 16:23

i used to own a custom, 1.4Ghz amd sempron, 60gig HD, 256 gefore 6600 Grfx card(still have it Lol) 610 Ram =/

it was the noiseiest thing ive ever seen, until it died .. about 3 months back.

WarKaster · Aug 17, 2007, 04:26 PM // 16:26

my old rig was like 5 years old but still was able to run GW very well.

My new rig is only 8 months old has all the bells and whistles including 4 gig of ram and an EVGA Nvidia 8800 GTS . The funny part is i don't see a really big difference from my old rig. I see it FPS games i play but not so much GW

prism2525 · Aug 17, 2007, 04:31 PM // 16:31

My (nut)case is a pretty standard one. Dunno what kind of MB i have but at least I've upgraded my RAM to 1GB (from a lousy 512 megs) and changed my graphic card to a GeForce 6600 256mb. Oh and I've also got a new sound card too. Doesn't change the world but it's nice.

Can't wait to get myself a real powerhouse though.

Been a couple of years since I did a system overhaul...my most recent upgrade was going from PATA to SATA on my hard drives...other than that my last major upgrade (2 years ago) put in a P4 2.8ghz, 2GB of PC3200 RAM (total), and an ATI x800 XT All-In-Wonder AGP. Still handles the games I play easily.

My second system that I also play GW on (when I need to login my second account to run myself or something) is a 1.7Ghz Athlon XP with 1.5GB of Ram and an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro AGP....recently upgraded the ram in it from 512 to 1.5GB....made a hell of a difference...runs a lot better with the extra ram. The system components are probably 5 years old.

No way I can run a system with less than 1GB of memory these days...runs too slow with anything less. Firefox is a major memory hog but damnit I won't use anything else (yes I've tried to tweak it).

" How Old is your PC? " - my answer... too old! - Im running GW on my 5 year old PC which struggles to run the graphics on low! Sound is dodgy too - its like im listening through a paper bag! Should be getting a new grapics card soon...

Im sure somebody else has something worse that me though

NiukNiuk · Aug 17, 2007, 05:14 PM // 17:14

Mine's from 2004...but I've just updated some parts, so now I use:
2Gb ddram
Athlon 64 x2 4200+
Ati x1950pro agp (yeah I still use an agp motherboard: abit av8)
So I think it will run gw:en fine ^^

Painbringer · Aug 17, 2007, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Mine is an E-machine 2 years old. I have updated the V-Card so not to use the onboard just a week or two ago. I did notice a big change. Cheap MAG Moniter 17” and a Logitech programmable keyboard the G-11 I think the cheaper non lcd display one (highly recommend this one if someone is using a standard keyboard make life much easier) I could hook it to my 40” LCD TV, but I would be hated by the rest of my family since it’s the only on used for TV watching. I would love to try it out and see Big Ol Critters running around. I am just too cheap to spend the money on the cable needed just to try it out.

GodofAcid · Aug 17, 2007, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Going on 4 years now. When I bought it, it was top of the line. Athlon XP 3200+, Radeon 9700 Pro.. It still runs about 80% of games pretty well, but it's just beginning to get to the point where it doesn't meet the specs for some of the high end games coming out. Can barely run America's Army too, can't compete with a frame rate that rarely exceeds 30 fps. I'm looking to upgrade soon.

Lilanthe · Aug 17, 2007, 05:39 PM // 17:39

2 months.

Intel Core 2 Duo 6700
2gig RAM
Geforce 8800GTX

But I still have a crappy monitor that can't support anything higher than 1280x1024

divinechancellor · Aug 17, 2007, 06:05 PM // 18:05

Dell 8200 6 or 7 years old. RAM uped from 256 to 1024 and video card from MX400 to FX5500. Ohh the pain... the framrates that go less than 10 (in LA) the agony! But is my PC the same PC I bought over 6 years ago? Theseus' paradox.

**cosyfiep** · Aug 17, 2007, 06:15 PM // 18:15

hm, lets see.....
the one I play on now was built last summer (bought the case and then built the insides, have replaced the power supply--its now external, due to not figuring out how much power we actually needed and we blew it a few months ago

)

4 years old is my hubbys rig we built from scratch (including making a plexiglass case!) we have recently updated him to a video card (didnt have one before, now you talk about low fps!).....and I used to play on my fujitsu laptop, but when factions came out it couldnt handle the graphics so we built the above mentioned one (it was fun watching my monk hit one skill and then after some lag everyone in the party was dead----yup needed something a bit better for that).

no plans to make any other changes for gwen.

lol I know the feeling

Mines an HP multi media gaming computer about 1.5 years old. I had a 8600 nvidia graphics card put in it. (I think that's it. I said put in the best one lol)

I think I'll be fine with GWEN.

Oh yes and the 22in monitor with 1680 x 1020 resolution not as great as the 24inch but very good
