Default What you guys think?

Ive got:

pentium 4, 2.8 gig celeron
1.25 gigs of RAM running at 266 MHz, ie PC2100
a Herc Radeon 9600 PRO with 128 mb

I know the celery isnt a gaming cpu, i found it onsite where i work so i just grabbed it and i reckon its better than my AMD 1700+ (ie 1.47 GHz). I also know p4s like thier pc3200 coz of thier 800 MHz FSB, but again, i found the RAM lyin around and i thought why not.

So yeah, its a thing i just chucked together, but looking at official system specs, im HOPING im going to run GW maxed out.

a nice high res would be good too.

What you think? or will the framerate suck? Course i can run it on 1024 with high detail prolly, but hows it run on your machines?

Dude your fine.

1.3 ghz celeron talatin core,
512/133 ram,
1024x768 no anti-aliasing, nividia 5200 fx 128 here.

I get no lag at that res and am running the game at between quality and high quality settings and it looks beautiful. In fact with anti-aliasing I find it gets pasty and the stair step at closer view is amplified.

So I doubt you will have any problems.

The beauty about GW is that you do not need a suped up machine to play it at reasonably high settings.

if you dont mind swapping the cpu for a benchmark test you might be surprised .
the 1700+ has twice the on die memory which is important. also it has the athlon core instead of the thunderbird core
there is a chance the 1700+ will be faster (not sure so suggested the benchmark if you dont mind swapping for testing)

both should work so no real reason to do it except curiosity
