I'm getting Guild Wars for Christmas so I wanted to know ahead of time how this would run for me.

PC Spec.
========

Microsoft Windows Home Edition
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.50 GHz
632 DDR Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 5500 (BFG GeForce FX 5500 OC 256mb) - PCI

Net Spec.
========
T1 Internet (I'm sure this would run fine)

----------------

I bought a friend Guild Wars for Christmas as well, will it run good for him at all?

PC Spec.
========

Microsoft Windows Home Edition
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.45 GHz
256 DDR Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 5500 (GeForce FX 5500 256mb) - PCI

Net Spec.
========
High Speed Cable Internet (I'm sure this would run fine)

-------

Normally I would not ask this question it's just, when they put the recommended requirments it can still run choppy reqaurdless if you meet them or not.

Yes they will run.

The comp I'm using is a Intel Celeron CPU 2.5 GHz with a Geforce FX4000 and Guildwars still runs.

Granted you prolly won't get the best graphics but it will run. This comp also has 760 RAM and mostly that is enough to get it working without GW shuting down due to lack of memory.

I don't know about other games though... But I just built a new comp that pretty much makes this old one a trash can. (Not using it yet because I don't have the OS. It's getting shipped here now. =P)

Nevertheless I'm sure it will run at least.

Thanks! I know for a fact my Video Card is the best you can get for PCI, it's just my buddy has the basic thing.

I hope my 632 DDR does well, I'm mainly worried that it will barley run for my friend who has 256 DDR.

If it doesn't run for you friend then have him try increasing his paging file...but before he does, have him defrag his hard drive.

dimirpaw · Dec 12, 2005, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Sure thing! I would hate to see the look on his face to get Guild Wars for Christmas and not have it work. When I go to install mine at Christmas I'm reformatting my C:\ drive and doing a clean install of XP. (Don't know if I got some bad stuff in there.)

pegasux · Dec 12, 2005, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Cool let my know if have any problems.

dimirpaw · Dec 12, 2005, 06:05 PM // 18:05

Sure thing! Even if he puts everything to lowest settings it should work within theroy, but not perfect.

pegasux · Dec 12, 2005, 06:32 PM // 18:32

yes in theory. As long as his video card is up to minimum specs then it will run.

His is 256mb, only thing that would slow him is that dreadful 256mb ddr

lol he's gonna love the lag...i'm sure once he's hooked he'll be running to the store to buy more memory.

dimirpaw · Dec 13, 2005, 01:10 AM // 01:10

Well I hope so! He hasn't bought ram for about 3 years now... Lazy guy, oh well. Hopfully I don't end up buying it for him! :O

i run gw pretty well on my comp

spex:

intel pIII
GeForce FX 5200 (soon to be Radeon 9800)
384 MB RAM

dimirpaw · Dec 13, 2005, 02:27 AM // 02:27

I think its your P3 keeping it running good along with the video card. Sadly he has a Cel.

Semper · Dec 13, 2005, 02:57 AM // 02:57

yah , but next year im getting my dads fairly good XP, and for christmas im getting the Radeon 9800PRO.

dimirpaw · Dec 13, 2005, 12:25 PM // 12:25

Lucky. :P I gota build my own PC sometime soon, the heck with P and Cel, AMD all the way!

Oh well I hope I still can play on my PC. Only time will tell...

dimirpaw · Dec 20, 2005, 03:06 PM // 15:06

Since X-Mas is just a few days away and I can play GW on my own PC for once I wanted to re-ask something.

I know people have slow problems with 256 ddr ram, and other people would suggest to get 1gb. Now I'm short on Cash from X-Mas and all and I only have a 632 DDR Ram on my PC with a 512 ddr and a 120 drr and I know it's not 1gb, but will it be a slow free game for me? and not lag down to the pooper. I already no some people run it good, however I'm still using a Cel. 2.5 GHz.

R A C · Dec 21, 2005, 02:22 PM // 14:22

I have 512 mb runs great for me. The only thing I can't do is listen to winamp at the same time. But I think I'll be getting more RAM for Christmas.

dimirpaw · Dec 21, 2005, 03:15 PM // 15:15

Alright! Thanks! I gota buy me a Gig of ram sometime soon.
